"... (an) endless supply of imagination mixed with soul and science that shines through every note."
- Quincy Jones
"... shows a lot of heart ... the organist has put together an impressive quartet ... Project Freedom is exactly that, a personal musical statement ... jazz fans will be delighted ... DeFrancesco and his band provide an energetic, diverse collection of songs. But there is a personalized vision that sets this album (and artist) apart from his peers!"
- Audiophile Audition
Organist and trumpeter Joey DeFrancesco is renowned for his buoyant, moody sense of swing and balladry as a composer and player. On Project Freedom, he adds several feathers to his cap including those of world travelling storyteller, quartet leader, freedom fighter, peacemaker, spiritual healer and genre-busting composer and cover artist. Helping him see and feel things in a radically different manner than the past are the members of his band The People: in-the-pocket drummer Jason Brown, guitarist Dan Wilson, who has the "George Benson-Wes Montgomery-Grant Green thing down cold" and saxophonist chameleon Troy Roberts.
"All of my albums mean a lot to me. Project Freedom though, this one means just a little bit more."
- Joey DeFrancesco
