As a drummer I can share a rule of thumb: The more drums you have, the more variation you can squeeze out of a little technique. The less drums you have, the less you have to hide behind, technique becomes the variation.

This version of City Lights is incredible because he's finally playing with a drummer who plays with as much expression as technique. If Joey finds the right drummer and bassist, the world could hear jazz on a level not seen since Monk and Bird. I put him on that level...seriously. The first time I heard Joey two years ago, I cried. Not because the tune was sad but because I'd never seen, or imagined anything that amazing before. I've got a feeling that jazz is going to make a come back.

~8 Billion people in the world and I can safely say that not a single 15-year old comes close to Joey. The boy is literally one in a billion, and there are only a handful of jazz prodigies throughout the ENTIRE existence of mankind that may be comparable. Sure, there are probably some talented young kids that can play any of the pieces here note for note, but Joey has an UNDERSTANDING of the music that many established musicians have been chasing after for their entire career. And Joey has had that connection to music since before his voice dropped, long before this video! His patience and control remind you of the early greats, yet his attention to detail breathes new life into every note. His subtle interactions with his band are so masterful that, if you didn’t know Joey’s age, you’d guess that he was decades older. And, most importantly, he’s having the time of his life! I cannot stress enough how refreshing it is to have a prodigy that is a product of passion rather than the result of a strict upbringing. It’s both scary and exciting to think about how far Joey will get in 5 or 10 years, but I’m thankful to have witnessed the humble beginnings of one of the best to ever do it.

Here, on KZbin, Joey is plays a set with a Hungarian sax player named Gabor Bolla. From acoustic bop standards, it's flawless. That was in 2014. Joey was eleven! since then, he has performed for Obama at the White House, played the Grammy awards twice, played with Herbie Hancock Chic Corea, and with Wynton Marsalis at Lincoln Center. Joey has recorded four albums, the second two being far advanced from the first two and those first two received every accolade imaginable. He has done all of that and he's only 15. My concern is that Joey may outgrow music all together. Unless he heads his own big band or finds other talents his age to collaborate with or gets paired with some amazing vocalist, there may be nothing else for him to accomplish in jazz. During this awesome set for Tiny Desk, he plays two songs from his latest album and one from his second. But he plays them in such a deconstructed and abstract way. It seems as if he's already outgrown the music from his most recent album. He so gentle and humble too. Joey Alexander is simply the best!

Strange though because, in my estimation, most musicians are get bigger than a genre by having a broadly based approach to their musical growth. Joey though, imo, will be on that very short list of musicians who will dominate a genre "technique wise", will have an amazingly complex and deep musical voice in jazz, and then his musical pallete will become bigger than jazz. I have hopes that he will be one of the jazz greats and yet still be bigger than the genre. Groove eternally friend.

Just watched this concert for the second time, and I think that it is my favorite Tiny Desk concert. Joey is amazing, and he has 2 great musicians backing him.

Kendrick Scott is legit a talent in his own right, prodigious drummer.

This has to be one of the best Tiny Desks I've heard, Joey does a superb job, and with such a minimal, simple and perfect percussion everything grows tenfold... I enjoyed it a lot, thanks 👍

The best PBD (piano-bass-drums) trio in the world, playing a half-hour concert in your bedroom closet.

Drummer is amazing too! All that sound with just a bass drum, snare, ride, and hihat. Very cool drumming.

This guy opened for Chick Corea a couple of nites ago. 45 mins solo on a baby grand. He blew the audience (and me) away!

He has an infectious smile! It seemed rooted in nervousness, but it really suited his face. Spreading joy through smiles and music.

This is my favorite Tiny Desk. I can keep coming back to it and finding something new to appreciate.

Layers & layers of wandering melodies interwoven across different timings/rhythmic signatures. So easy to listen to. Dancing, jumping from one melodic story to the next whilst maintaining an over arching tension that binds the whole composition. A brilliant, exceptional talent.

OMG! Are you not listening to one of God's greatest gift to the listening ear?? I nave been following JA since he was 11 or so, and I am ALWAYS AMAZED at his talent and ability to make beautiful music. I just pray that no evil influences (drugs, discord, depression) every come his way. God knows he is bringing joy into so many lives. Keep it up!!!

Joey Alexander came to the Kansas City area for a concert a few years ago. What an experience. It was great and his rendition of "My Favorite Things" was amazing. Imagine his long career ahead of him and all the great things he will accomplish as a gifted musician.

kid plays with so much grace. sometimes he has moments that make feel like he's channeling vince guaraldi if he were a strictly 21st century pianist. and the mix on this is amazing in headphones. i hope they pay that sound guy mad bread.

It’s impolite to call him a prodigy , because he is real deal . Just don’t compare him with the players in his age . He is THAT good !

Endless amounts of musicianship caught in this session! I first watched this the day it came out and was completely dazed by the maturity in Joey Alexander's playing. I watch this at least every other month now and I eventually started paying attention to a different musician every time. I appreciated the ability to fill their playing with so much emotion as well as purpose, something everyone who starts out in improvisation struggles with at some point. Thank you, Tiny Desk, for the limitless fountain of inspiration you captured and shared with us!
