By the time he made this record, he had spent three decades proving that the Hammond B-3 could carry a conversation as deep as any horn, and his instinct to reach toward Coltrane's cosmic territory feels less like a tribute and more like a natural next step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVinyl LP pressing. As he's made abundantly clear over the past 30 years, Joey DeFrancesco has plenty of soul. What most listeners probably haven't spent much time pondering is that soul's place in the universe. On his adventurous new album, In The Key Of The Universe, the master organist turns his musical attentions to his spiritual side, tapping into a strain of metaphysical jazz that's fueled sonic searchers for more than half a century. Joey D calls upon disciples and missionaries of jazz to join him in paving the way to enlightenment. In The Key Of The Universe arrives almost exactly 50 years after the release of Karma, the landmark album by legendary saxophonist Pharoah Sanders. One of the primary exponents of spiritually-oriented jazz, Sanders makes three guest appearances on the album, including an update of his best-known track from Karma, the cosmically influential \"The Creator Has A Master Plan.\" Playing drums on that track was the great Billy Hart, who reunites with Sanders as well as DeFrancesco, with whom he's worked several times over the years since joining the organist for his 1989 album Where Were You?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 673203114715\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mack Avenue Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.5.19\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Inner Being (5:18)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Vibrations In Blue (6:42)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Awake And Blissed (3:01)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. It Swung Wide Open (3:54)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. In The Key Of The Universe (5:05)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. The Creator Has A Master Plan (11:00)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide C\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. And So It Is (7:52)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Soul Perspective (5:30)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide D\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. A Path Through The Noise (4:47)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Easier To Be (5:15)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mack Avenue (MAC 1147LP)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2019  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e US\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 Inner Being – 5:18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 Vibrations In Blue – 6:42\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA3 Awake And Blissed – 3:01\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA4 It Swung Wide Open – 3:54\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1 In The Key Of The Universe – 5:05\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 The Creator Has A Master Plan – 11:00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC1 And So It Is – 7:52\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC2 Soul Perspective – 5:30\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD1 A Path Through The Noise – 4:47\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD2 Easier To Be – 5:15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWill Wakefield – A\u0026amp;R (Senior Director)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDaniel B.
