Extending the good vibes created out of their first pairing on the live recording
Incredible!, organists
Joey Defrancesco and
Jimmy Smith get down to business on
Legacy. The two stellar and funky musicians have a great musical rapport and seem to really enjoy playing together. Fans of
Incredible! will most likely find much to enjoy here. The album has a heavy Latin sound with percussionists
Ramon Banda and
Jose "Joey" de Leon supplying additional timbales and conga rhythms respectively. Also joining in this time around is special guest tenor saxophonist
James Moody, who adds his fiery bop chops to "Jones'n for Elvin." Backing
Defrancesco and
Smith here are bassist
Tony Banda, guitarist
Paul Bollenback, and drummer
Steve Ferrone.
