This is a glimpse of the beauty of Heaven that the Creator has bestowed upon us through the artistry and brilliance of this young, amazing, beautiful boy. Life is beautiful indeed.
3:33 AM I don't care if I sleep or not. I am 80, will listen to music until I pass! This is beyond splendid.
So amazing to hear that man,hope you always healthy and always blessed.
Incroyable! Je me demande si je ne suis pas déjà au "paradis" parmi les anges... IoI
Ditto, Phyllis, at 83!
@@rboaxx9065 It will soudn different there ;-)
@@LowSpark42 vous y revenez?
I love the contrast of his quirky awkwardness with speaking and fluency with the music. It's a jazz thing.
I love that all the orchestra members smile lovingly as Joey introduces the tunes, like parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles looking on a newborn.❤
I have noticed that people who love Jazz are usually kind and gentle. I don't see hate in the comments section.
Probably a reflection of musicians who beautifully respect new young talents like Joey. A great example is Nils Lan Doky, who introduced Joey to the audience his second musical week on Standard and how he first told about the mesmerizing moments with Joey few past days and then added how they all love him very much. Yes, I cryed few happy tears when I fist time heard dear mr Lan Doky's words about Joey.
Everyone wants to play with Joey with no blackish envy because he can make other ones
to sound even better than usual.
Yeah no one can talk shit about a genius like him. Because they know that he is better than him and saying stuff would make them look like they envy him. So people choose to just enjoy the music.
Then you never met Stan Getz. He was violent and mean.
Classical fans are mean because everyone has different interpretation of the score. Jazz is free.
@@CelinnaMawar wooohoa!! Now I know why the seats are all ripped and covered in gum in the Festival Hall
This young man (child) has a divine gift........sit down with this prodigy and feel his depth of jazz.......what a natural talent he has.......he is the Mozart of modern jazz!
I wish someday he will get a Grammy Award!
Lord have mercy it's like the wisdom and maturity of a 60 year old with the fearlessly mischievous inventiveness of a kid/
I don’t know any 60 year olds playing today with that prowess
@@leoray1234 have you heard of George Shearing?
@@heinzgilbert yes, Shearing is one of my all time favourite jazz pianists! I prefer him over Brubeck tbh
Musical, dynamic phrases, excellent understanding of harmony and technical skill. Unobtrusive..remarkable..
A child playing jazz whose playing, integrates and plays with older people playing jazz. That's very cool.
Even the band can't believe what they're witnessing. Their faces say it all!
A leader, an inspiration, a total joy! Never look back Joey, the future is yours!
Joey's apperearance, with skills that are in the experts class, has really given jazz a new color. Amazingly, he remains humble.
The Incredible Joey.....please stay love with jazz joey...you are the Legend

I've never seen anything like this prodigy, playing live with Lincoln Center... Speechless.
is it a big deal?
Irwan Santoso the Playing at the Lincoln Center is how you know you’ve made it as a jazz artist. The fact that he was only 12 here is astonishing.
Bryce Hudson yeah. Kinda
Look up his Lincoln Center debut from 3 years earlier (it's the one where Billy Crystal introduces him). He plays a solo version of 'Round Midnight that is so beautiful it actually made me cry at the end from it's sheer beauty.
It's like living in the same era with Mozart. Go and see him live at least once in your lifetime; the earlier the more to tell your grandchildren.
My goodness, he broke that Bricusse/Newley tune down totally and seemed to recompose it on the spot. Wow. There's an energy here that few have ever possessed....and at 16:10 he begins laughing with joy. OMG...
Ronald60202 he is like a child playing in the sandbox create something, but on the piano.
He always does that...he recomposes a composition every time he plays it. Incredible.
I think he's laughing because he got the drum and bass to think he was repeating the motif... but he really changed it
I just heard Barbara Streisand do this with a young Anthony Newley....from the musical in 65....magical.
As he walks from the piano, you can almost make out the bounce in his step. Already an icon in the history of music, I wonder what he has in store next!
If nobody needs me, l turn to Joey when I am in low spirits. Beautiful playing.
your comment make me smile
fee you dawg
Harmonic movement at 12:21-12:24 is so beautiful, kept replaying it over and over.
The people in the front row have no idea that they are witnessing something that comes along in music every couple hundred years.
that s true dear friend. I was quite disappointed to see their reactions first time watching this
May I guess there is very simple explanation. First listening didn't tell them what they just heard.
When I remember 13 age Alexander Prior's compose Sir Gawain and Green Knight - first listening didn't tell how much I will like it later. Even now eleven years later I find some new angles to listen and join.

He’s a jazz prodigy but comparisons to music we listen to that’s 200 years old is problematic because it was written composition a different skill set.
Gives child's play a new meaning
With Joey Alexander being such a prodigy, comparisons to Wolfgang Mozart would not be unreasonable or out of place.
Yosef KWAMIE i would rather compare him to herbie hancock or thelonius monk.
Why Mozart? even more like Johan Sebastian Bach who improvises three-part fugue after king Fredric the Great theme in Potsdam 1747
Have you seen/heard Jacob Collier? Also mind blowing 🤯
Try to watch on channel of Erwin Gutawa Production "Indonesian Babies High Level Skills Performing Sketsa"
Magnificent performance and beautifully composed “Who Can I Turn To”, as Wynton Marsalis mentioned Joey’s golden touch is not an overstated after all. Joey never ceasing to capture me in awe whenever he plays his music in pure joy, genuinely and with his humbleness. Words cannot express it all!
J'aime autant son humilité que son phrasé.. Extraordinaire gamin !
I saw this amazing young man at Birdland a few weeks ago, an awesome performance!
I’m not sure I can find the words to express what an amazing talent Joey is. Pure joy to the senses!
I am so proud to watch all of Joey Alexander Musics.. I know that he will become a Jazz Legend in the World 🎹👌
Such incredible poise for such a young man.....
Joey Alexander is a wonder! I hope he has a long, successful and happy career.
Joey Alexander is what jazz is all about. The joy of constant creativity is evident in his playing and his approach to jazz. He truly is one of a kind and we are blessed to bear witness to his performing.
Joey with the long fingers must help him immensely add to that his already musical genius....marvelous talent.
FLAT OUT FANTASTIC!!!
Where does one go to from here if you have already at age 13 reached this level of maturity and perfection?
I have seen and heard child prodigies play beautifully before, but for a child to feel and understand and play jazz like him, is more than remarkable! He plays with much older adults and it's a seamless exercise! He really is fantastic.🤩
Speechless
Gee! Great harmonics!!! So pleasant to the ears
Absolutely beautiful, we are all witness to a profound moment in time, musically and spiritually.
I would have had to jump out of my seat with my arms up and tears flowing!! how could that tired audience contain itself.
Again, I'm amazed at the tools who come on TH-cam and give thumbs down to recordings such as this.
I believe we call them deaf mutes today.
Outstanding. In the beginning, God created the piano so that Joey could make beautiful music for the world.
Joey is an angel and we are so lucky to have him color our lives…
A true genius..
If i heard his play, i feel freedom on it. Its like he said doing what you want but still on the track.. Its amazing
I love his rendition of giant steps
This makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside.
The band has a beautiful sound on this.
How he does is over my head... How do the tunes come into his hand and go into his fingers is just beyond me
In his playing I heat Monk, Ahmad Jamal, Bill Evans... So cool to hear his influences so clearly
Awesome performance by Joey and the band ... Joey always brings fun and wonderful thing ... keep it up Joey
Ooohhhh...Joey! You're the soul of jazz!
“Child prodigy” does not even come close to describing this kid. He is the kind of meteor that hits the world maybe once a century. I just hope his childhood years have been protected by people with his best interests in mind. He has his whole life to create incredible music. But like the rest of us, he only gets to be a kid once.
He has more joy playing piano than most kids have "just being a kid". He doesn't seem pressured or like his parents/elders are putting this on him. It's OK for him to play this much at that age.
Hopefully he stays away from the toxicity that is so commonly seen in Jazz
Truly amazing! Such maturity. What a future for this young jazz artist!
Uron, Agreed! Those of us who play jazz and those of us who love jazz, by the way not necessarily two different groups - Have big hearts! It takes a big heart to embrace jazz on any level. If you have a big heart, hate is not in your vocabulary, and anathema to your existence. My wonderful friends Kenwood Dennard and Phillippe Crettien and Jeff Pittson and Wayne shorter I just completely full of love! Being able to play jazz fills your heart with joy and immunizes you from hate
Music does wonder for the soul and spirit
Waw, how can he playing the piano so smooth
I'm glad he's sitting higher on the bench. More power.
С какого возраста нужно начать слушать джаз,чтобы так необыкновенно чувствовать эту музыку!Браво Джо!!!!
Quite a sophisticated, mystifying and perplexed arrangement... yet so very interesting, exciting, and attention-grabbing... a fascinating and remarkable performance by Joey and the band...
this video just put a smile on my face, bravo joey!
Very fun concerts enjoyed seeing Joey here in York, PA, love the CD's
This is primo jazz playing by Joey Alexander.
Incredible maturity in playing ..maybe not as old as this 21st century..he sure plays like all the greats from the 20st ...like he been around since 1900...just marvelouss to listen..
Excellent crispness, rhythm, tonality, and phrasing. In time, he will master dynamics fully and artistry. Gorgeous player.
@@cpetrizziLol. Acting like you can "detail" his "flaws"... Lol
He has 6 pages of written music and doesn't even look at it.
Custom Video Solution he didn't need that. He want to play music that was in his head, not music on the paper.
And a little child shall lead them. Joey knows more about harmony than all of the band members put together. He can put any jazz Ph.D's to shame. His rhythm is impeccable; very tight. I'm not a fan of jazz, because my training and love is in classical. However, I thoroughly dig watching Joey play. To think he taught himself not only to develop a tight piano technique, but also to have such a profound instinct of harmony.
Wonderful Joey!!!
How easily he compose and decomposed the tunes......who can I turn to became completely new song ....
This is so joyous
love the excitement at 16:09
Joey Alexander will play with string section arranged by Grammy winner Richard DeRosa at JALC event this October. www.jazz.org/events/t-7299/Joey-Alexander-with-Strings/ Not to be missed!
Anybody notice the size of his hands? You can really notice at 11:20. They're huge!!!
Carlos Schvartzman must be! Thanks for the comment!
Who, why, what, when and many more questions about this genius; still in his early teens.
Even he speaks in jazz
That was amazing! Loved the song, loved his chord voicings! Hear a lot of B.Evans in him, and of course I can't get enough of Bill Evans! Absolutely wonderful performance!!!!!!!
This ain't a damn 13 year old, that's a 40 year old man, y'all ain't fooling anyone 😭💀
I'm in Awe!
Maravilhoso!
Eu não gosto muito de jazz orquestrado, prefiro sempre o trio clássico, mas o Joey Alexsander é realmente demais!
His brainwaves weave with his fingers through the keys...I don't know any other way to put it!.
Damn! Speechless!
This is heaven!
I love JOEY definitely
best off pianist ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏
it is just beautifull
Amazing young man
wow ... amazing performance of joey and the band .... beautiful
Woaooooooo!!! amazing this guy!!
amaziing joey!
This video made my heart so soft and so joyful. My mind got to relax.
Amazingly incredible.. Performance at its highest.. Two and two more and two more thumbs up
There is the master and there is the other master and the rest of the masters.....what a poetry
Fantastic....
como se puede ir más lejos a los trece años, la única explicación a este fenómeno es la "sabiduría genética"
Amazing
God laid his hand on Joey Alexander for a long time before He brought him into this world. And, because God loves music, in Joey He seems to have reincarnated the souls of Evans, Monk, Strayhorn, Tatum, Petersen and other musical greats who left us far too soon…. As Joey’s God-sent virtuosity progresses you can hear in his music all those old souls rejoicing as one at having another chance to have their unrealized musical visions expressed through the grooves/brilliant talents of the new heir apparent to their combined musical genius - Mr. Joey Alexander. Joey, you make God’s (and my) ears smile! Thank you.
Excellent comment, though when he speaks he reminds me of Petrucciani!
Like Michel, Joey possesses a GIGANTIC gift that God creatively packaged into a small frame.... It would have been wonderful to hear them play together. Personally, I want to hear Joey play with who I believe is the greatest pianist alive today - Hiromi Uehara! What a treat that would be - for both them - and us!
I'm sure we'll see Uehara and Alexander playing together soon enough. Exciting times for jazz, the level of virtuosity is entering a new league. I've been watching Joey for hours now, I just can't believe it. Giant Steps and Round Midnight in particular at that level of playing at just 10 or 11, it's insane. His performance of Round Midnight on his NYC debut at Lincoln reminded me very much of Michel actually. Giant Steps is a tune that even some of the great pianists I can think of found hard to do well.
He has had an interest since young and brought himself to this position. No higher being is responsible for who he has become, it was his hard work and love for the music.
god loves jazz!!
Joey is both a featherweight and a heavyweight on those keys and soooooo expressive!! - I think if Bill Evans was sat next to him, Bill would be both riveted and agasp, all at the same time!!
fantastic
Wow he is just amazing plays beautifully
Glorious arrangement by the way.
The arrangement for Very Early by Walter Blandon is also great
A little genius Joe❤️
I cannot say anything, except holy crap. Talent abounds in life from time to time. This young man has it tenfold. You got me as a new fan forever Joey, I look forward to your music in the future.
fantastic.....
