I've seen him live. EVERY day this young man grows as an artist. He's already a giant in his field.

[@TheCricketguy123]

really want to see him live! Asked him on instagram to come to Ronnie Scott's and he said hopefully so I've got my fingers crossed

[@greeksalad4783]

Seeing Joey performing live must've been an experience you'll never forget! Speaking of performance: This video of Joey and his fellow artist is beautiful!!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@bobbysanchez6308]

Greek Salad I’ve seen him twice. Can confirm he is of a divine form.

[@kevinmccroskey9315]

Totally agree, John!

[@daffo595]

In case anyone was wondering 'Warna' is Indonesian/Malay for 'colour'

Joey on the ivories soothes my 85 yr old soul.💕

Joey Alexander, Your "Jazz-Musician-Ancestors" Up in "HEAVEN" Would Be So "PROUD" of You, Kid. 🙂

[@Scottjazz55]

God works/plays through him.

[@GerardRebours]

Some "prodigies" becomes disappointing when they get older, but no worry: Joey Alexander gets better and better. He is an incredibly great artist.

[@user-ec2iu5pv1d]

Joeyyyy!!!masih inget gak kata2 om idang rasjidi & tompi di kemang dulu"ini calon bintang jazz dunia" and you did it now!!!congrats and keep the faith joey👏👍

[@hiji1002]

ジョーイさん、あなたを知ってもう数年経過しますが、どうしてこんなにも深みのある素晴らしい演奏、曲作りができるのでしょうか。持って生まれた才能と努力は当然と思いますが、年齢からは想像し難いほどです。先日、チックコリアが亡くなり、悲しんでいるファンの一人ですが、これからのジャズ界の希望の星です。65歳のおじさんも期待していますので、良い演奏を続けて下さい。

[@j5555785]

You may say you hear Herbie Hancock, or Bill Evans, or Thelonious Monk, but really what they heard is what Joey hears. When I first heard this cut I immediately thought Stanley Cowell, Lyle Mays,, or Joe Sample. But the bottom line is that we aren't hearing other artists, we are hearing what other artists and Joey Alexander are hearing. It's not the sound of the past or the future. It's an authentic depiction of the present. And that's what the greatest artists hear, the present clearly.

[@alexs5723]

Oooo I like that.

[@sarahsilber4417]

Well said, but a nod to a mentor is just tradition!

[@foun10head]

Bill Evans is is is...understudied and unappreciated.

[@foun10head]

It's nice to listen to, but there's nothing groundbreaking happening here.

[@j5555785]

@@foun10head yeah, sure theres nothing groundbreaking here. In Jazz (and most any other genre today) I'd say groundbreaking no longer sounds good. In Jazz groundbreaking means its mathematically impeccable, but impossible to listen to, unless you are one of these nerds who pretend to themselves and the rest of us that they enjoy the abusive dissonance. Groundbreaking is the academic pitfall that pulled Jazz out of common cultural appreciation. As far as good groundbreaking is concerned I feel like early smooth jazz was groundbreaking before it went commercial and became a garbage sound. I mentioned the guys I did because to me it seems Joey is going to be picking up at a spot where those guys left off. At least for now. Who knows, he may get academic on us, become groundbreaking, and help keep jazz tucked away, understudied and underappreciated.

[@philrouse3477]

Dang this Kid Rocks!!! He's just having fun.... Reminds me of Warren Bernhardt's Fun Time!!!!

[@BrandonPetrucci]

Joey has one of most elusive qualities and that's patience ... He's an open channel

[@elanorfrazier1030]

II saw this young with my grandson in Boca Raton Fl.He was and still awesome.The evening was so special a couple gave us front row seats.What a night.Godloveandjazz.Elayne.

[@bradleyard4195]

There's a certain joy in his playing, whether it's the grinning and nodding he does with the other musicians he's playing with, his phrasing, his sense of melody and timing, or just the way he can throw everything he has into a run, you can tell he's thoroughly enjoying himself. That's what music's all about, after all, isn't it? This kid is going to be an absolute giant in the music world. I just hope he's ready for it.

[@raymundsarmiento7607]

Leading a quartet so deep at such a young age is unfathomable! You never stop to amaze the jazz ‘world’ Joey. God Bless -

[@josepharmelin6467]

Joey does not sound like Herbie or Chick or Joe Sample. He sounds like Joey. He sounds like what Heaven must be like. Pure, sweet and happy. What a joy to hear him play.

[@pepe7drum]

Go look for Jesus Molina he is another outstandig musician

[@jimbosteen2935]

Yep ur right👌

[@Nedwin]

That smile is pure gold...

[@darylnovhiandy6799]

I, erm, uh.. I just want to say I can't believe I'm watching this for free. Thank you, Joey. Always be true to yourself.

[@FunColor-ue7ki]

I think Joey is the best Jazz Musician from Indonesia by far... it's a good thing he pursue his music abroad....

[@renatoreside]

Love the sound that will carry us through the next several decades of jazz...

[@sittig904]

This young man is playing on a different level. I'm not a musician but even a novice can tell.

[@Benjaminsaetang]

JOEY ALEXANDER - FINGERS OF FIRE!

[@jamesfpianist1168]

Wow, the comping groove "feel" during the percussion solo is incredible. I played daily for a month straight with an Indonesian drummer that played with Joey during his early formative years. I got to ask him many questions about Joey. Apparently, his growth from decent player to an amazing full- developed player happened in almost a season. There is a prodigious aspect to his playing, but there was a leap that happened so I've been told. Btw- there are a lot of great Indonesian musicians out there. Steinway sounds great too. Impressed with the piano tech. World-class player and piano!

[@dude4173]

Sat front row to watch Joey live Seattle, about 3 feet from when he was 14. Won't forget it.

[@andrewbailey2867]

Ridiculously good.

[@cristinaeugen77777]

One of the greatest musical geniuses in history. Time capsule grade!

[@augusttingjiaoli8440]

I went to see him at Princeton University recently and it was such an amazing experience!! I found myself forgetting to sip my wine because I was so taken away by the music. He is amazing live! the drum and the base were also fucking awesome!!!! I'd go see him in DC again in April if not for this stupid virus

[@bobbysanchez6308]

The harp combo prior was pretty damn dope too :P

[@eyelidman09]

This young man just gets better and better. Already at the top of his game - where else is there to go in the many decades that lie ahead of him? A young musician of the next generation. Total respect.😷👍🇬🇧😷

[@andrespena582]

Luisito Quintero on the conga drums. Viva Venezuela!!!

[@djlok6686]

Really thanks for your music 🎶

[@misaksteve7887]

Can you imagine, at 11 he had been among the greatest jazz musicians competing at Grammy (most prestigious awards). Where would he be at 20, 30, 40??

[@leyharley]

This is what I called “real diversity in truthful unity” When music talks without hearing a word.

[@FlukeThing]

I think I've noticed a pattern that some great musicians share. They enjoy playing music. Just look at how Joey is beaming throughout the entire performance! I think it would be very difficult to reach this level without that.

[@uknowilove]

It's such a privilege to witness his growth, honest and unfazed. Sail on, Joey!

[@TheArchiveOfWonder]

Crushing it. His sidemen are smoking it here and Joey is letting them go off.

[@timbalero19]

So glad to see the master Luisito Quintero in this video. Love the latin and jazz fusion (latin jazz). Joey is amazing (as always) and the drummer blew my mind!

[@davidfulford3356]

well this is just fun!

[@aliirhami7482]

He is truly "Lionel Messi" of the jazz world right now. Proud!

[@yurimakkachin112]

1:09 idk it feels so magical. Feel so blessed to witness Joey growing.

[@laurenhoward2888]

A shame this performance wasn't nominated for a 2021 Grammy

[@biwc-erie3618]

Just look at the musicians faces and appreciate the moment they’re in…they understand and appreciate the moment!

[@priambodoyogo4766]

Ini mungkin singlemu yang paling ceria dan penuh variasi. Suka sekali, membuat hati terbang melayang walau sudah lewat tengah malam. Sukses terus mas joey. Kamu membuat indonesia sangat bangga

[@sintadewi7161]

Priambodo Yogo Listen to his Downtime. Even more ceria 😁

[@ChristopherMurphy1969]

JA has it from his soul to our ears. Those who know, know.

[@jackmeginniss6327]

What I really like about this guy among other things is his tone. His tone is not harsh and he can play softly when he wants to.

[@tuomasholo]

Pulled up a chair and put on my headphones and savored the sounds. 😊

[@crieverytim]

He smiles like he has had two Pepsi's and is sleeping on the top bunk 🤣

[@carltonvincent914]

He's apsolutly incredible. He had an old soul or a brand new one.

[@SchalaKid]

It is such a privilege and pleasure to see Joey grow up (literally and as a jazz musician) right before our eyes! 🤩

[@something_unique_interesting]

Can't imagine Joey 10 years later surely his abilities will be more powerful

[@wirmeth]

Semakin dewasa, musik Joey pun makin terasa lebih luas eksplorasinya!! Keren! Terus berkarya, Joey!!

[@agusmanagus6765]

Ternyata orang indonesia mayoritaa lbh suka drama yg tak jelas atw musik alay yg modal tmpang dan cm cari sensasi dr pda musik yg berkualita, atw mkin kita blm siap dgn musik yg sprti ini, pdhal ini adalah salah satu talenta terbaik Indonesia yg diakui di dunia. Semangat terus joey.

[@hariyantosalim_]

@@abuahmad3852 terkadang peribahasa yg menyebut "anda adalah gambaran dari apa yg anda makan" bisa jadi benar. jika kita sering mengkonsumsi makanan bergizi, menggemari dan menikmati karya seni bernilai tinggi hal ini bisa menunjukkan kualitas diri kita. lain halnya klo kegemaran kita melahap makanan 'sampah'/junkfood atau doyan sama karya2 seni plagiat, gak ada kreativitas, yg cm ngandelin gimmick gak karuan, bahkan eksploitasi fisik sampe jd diomongin orang2, viral dan banyak yg latah pengen liat nah dsni sy gak perlu jelaskan kualitas org2 yg menggemari hal2 tsb, anda lebih tahu krn mgkn anda salah satunya.

Keep on playing. As time goes by, your style become more and more delicious like aging wine.

Drummer is a BEAST !!!!

[@Scottjazz55]

Yes, and so musical on his solo-ish section. Not just trying to wow us with chops but his sounds and feel are just beautiful.

[@MrYgor44]

Очень давно тебя не было. И очень приятно узнать, что мастерство только возросло. Блистательная, виртуозная композиция! Надо чаще встречаться! It's been a long time since you've been here. And it is very nice to know that the skill has only increased. Brilliant, virtuoso composition! We should meet more often!

[@begotten59]

I'm your fan Joey, since you appear in KZbin, from Metro Manila, the Philippines, 60 years old! Puji Tuhan! Praise the LORD!

You're witnessing history.... pay attention. Congrats Joey!

[@odji2932]

J'ai vu ce jeune au New morning il y a deux ans . Il a encore progressé . Juste énorme !

[@kellycoxsemple]

I've seen him perform twice (the first time when he was 12 and again at 14), and I didn't think he could possibly get any better. But he has! This is magnificent!

[@kigyobunseki03]

I think Kendrick is Joey's best musical partner. So nice combination.

[@FrancescoGuardi]

...and Ulysses Owens too, I think

[@billbernardi7819]

Time to remove the 'child prodigy' tag. This kid is the real deal.

[@yakovhadash]

also he’s getting old! lol

yeah!! Man- ga lee!

[@tommylu5300]

I'm tagging him 'the young maestro' XD

[@rainman9626]

Joey never exist He's only your wild imagination..

[@josiah566]

he lost the child prodigy tag in my ears when I heard his version of "I Mean You" - it's a simple, fun tune but the way he _said_ things to me through the piano is beyond just a prodigy's level EDIT: he was 12 when he dropped that album

[@music-collective]

What a wonderful band. 👏👏👏👏👏

[@dennylekstrom4517]

Maestro Alexander! Truly contemporary playing for the ages. Inspired, fierce and fearless. And just full of utter joy! Thanks for sharing your music and your humble approach to life! Forever a fan!!

[@johnlewis9650]

He had some sly little smiles occasionally that seemed to say wow, that was kind of magical!

[@refundrick]

It's always so nice to see that Joey seems to be getting as much pleasure from playing as his audience gets from listening to him play

[@johnventura1637]

I can't help but think I'm witnessing, and hearing, genius.

[@limaromeo8745]

I loved all of this but my favorite part was when the piano got all quiet and you could hear the percussionists communicating with each other

[@cskillet2003]

So glad to see Kendrick Scott and Joey playing together again!
