Jazz: Joey DeFrancesco

A monster of the Hammond B-3 organ who has performed with jazz heavyweights David Sanborn, James Moody and Elvin Jones, Joey DeFrancesco conjures the ghosts of former greats Jimmy Smith and Larry Young with a tone that burns through touches of blues and funk with equal parts fire and grace. Upstairs at Vitello’s, 4349 Tujunga Ave., Studio City. 8 and 10 p.m. Thu.-Fri. $25. https://www.vitellosjazz.com.
