That’s because prodigy kids _usually_ are great performances, not an artists. The do amazing technique but there’s nothing about art. Joey is a real musician. Not just a virtuoso pianist :) He thinks music, not just plays it :) People often miss matches virtuoso players with musicians :) it’s like mismatch F1 formula drivers with F1 formula engineers :)))
The bad news first: Keith Jarrett will most likely never play again. The good news: gifted spirits like Joey come along to take up where the last generation left off.
@@Portia... Also why is it that so many great, god-tier musicians have to suffer so much? Maybe that is the universe's price? You will be great, but you will suffer for it.
This kid was touched by the hand of God, MJ, Beethoven, Oscar Peterson, McCoy Tyner and so many many more. I'd be jealous if I wasn't so enamored with listening and admireing his playing/phrasing/musicianship... I bow to Mr. Alexander and all the greats...
I listened to Joey playing this live in Oakland, CA last year, and that was one of the best live memories I have had. I've been thinking I would never be able to hear him improvise this song again until today! He is a gift to all the human beings!
Noro Ardanto, beautiful words. I almost melted when I listened to another performance of a new guy in town. Human Nature is a marvelous song and listening to different interpretations of it is just amazing. What about this one here. Enjoy. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3oxjjPcjibo.html
**Taught himself** to play at age six!!! Won a grand fest music competition at age nine!!! And is already playing with a level of maturity and skill usually displayed by much older musicians--and he is only eighteen!!! More of this young man--**PLEASE**!!!
Joey, I still proudly display your bobble head doll and trading card in my home. We owned the small grocery store in your neighborhood, the one that you would bring your sisters to for candy after school. Holloways Easy Shop Market. I can safely say I was an admirer of your kind manner and always being a polite young man. Thanks for doing life right.
Bravo, Joey. Like Miles, you manage to find the nuances and complexity in the notes of the song. This is one of MJ's best songs. Your Interpretation is excellent.
People navigating global pandemics and 2020 elections need way more Joey Alexander in their lives...... thank you for sharing your talent with those of us that need it and profoundly respect your gift!
Cattaneo Pablo, here's an amazing one. I just found it! I think it's brilliant. What do you think? Enjoy. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3oxjjPcjibo.html
Absolutely superb! Joey never ceases to amaze and deliver. The child prodigy thing was over almost immediately. He is one of the top jazz pianists, period.
Thanks Joey for the plain and simple brilliance that this song deserves and original key board interpretation, just as Michael brought his own to Pocaro's timeless classic. May they both rest in peace knowing how the song will live forever.
Beautiful words, Keith Showell. Here's another version of Human Nature and I find this amazing. Both Michael and Steve Porcaro would enjoy the fact that so many talented people are making marvelous versions of the heavenly creation that Human Nature is. Enjoy. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3oxjjPcjibo.html
Heard an interview you gave on the Hallmark channel (I think). Just something that popped up as a RU-vid suggestion. Really enjoyed all you had to say. The hosts, on the other hand, well... They were pressing you to say you were a fan of so-and-so (Bruno Mars maybe) basically trying to put words in your mouth and I was really touched when you said that Michael Jackson was one of your biggest influences! Thank you for this beautiful, soulful interpretation 🤗
Ikerina, Human Nature is one among my favorites too. Here's another great version. Enjoy. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3oxjjPcjibo.html
I think if Michael Jackson was still with us, he'd love Joey Alexander's rendition of 'Human Nature.' Edit: Joey is such an inspiration! The future of jazz is in very capable hands with Joey! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Wow just effing Wow! I've been into Joey since he was a kid...ok I know I know he's still practically a kid and he's always blown me away but honestly this is the first time that I think he is transitioning into one of the true greats...I stopped it to see if he was playing someone else's arrangement and no he's JUST IMPROVISING on Human Nature!!! Listen to his phrasing and how he will give little tastes and flashes of the melody woven into the rhythm... He has changed folks....
Meditation is a practice where an individual uses a technique - such as mindfulness or focusing the mind on a particular object, thought, or activity - to train attention and awareness, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state. Joey Alexander, when the human and the piano become one.
Pål, just the other day I found a new interpretation of Human Nature. I think this guy is amazing. Have a great day. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3oxjjPcjibo.html
Really food for the soul.., frankly this rendition and this video inspire many many more times than most of the professionally made video clips... Honestly...😘
