While Joey DeFrancesco has enjoyed international exposure and played a role in the electric Hammond B-3 organ's renewed popularity in the '90s, his father and mentor, fellow organist "Papa" John De Francesco, was little known outside of his native Philadelphia until Comin' Home's release in 1995. What "Papa" John, whose soul jazz is an invigorating, earthy mixture of Jimmy Smith and Charles Earland, lacks in the area of innovation, he more than makes up for with warmth and enthusiasm.
