Joey Alexander with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra 

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.

I have noticed that people who love Jazz are usually kind and gentle. I don't see hate in the comments section.

I love the contrast of his quirky awkwardness with speaking and fluency with the music. It's a jazz thing.

Lord have mercy it's like the wisdom and maturity of a 60 year old with the fearlessly mischievous inventiveness of a kid/

I wish someday he will get a Grammy Award!

I love that all the orchestra members smile lovingly as Joey introduces the tunes, like parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles looking on a newborn.❤

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.

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.🤩

A leader, an inspiration, a total joy! Never look back Joey, the future is yours!

I've never seen anything like this prodigy, playing live with Lincoln Center... Speechless.

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...

Musical, dynamic phrases, excellent understanding of harmony and technical skill. Unobtrusive..remarkable..

Even the band can't believe what they're witnessing. Their faces say it all!

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 saw this amazing young man at Birdland a few weeks ago, an awesome performance!

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.

Harmonic movement at 12:21-12:24 is so beautiful, kept replaying it over and over.

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.

Joey is an angel and we are so lucky to have him color our lives…

Such incredible poise for such a young man.....

With Joey Alexander being such a prodigy, comparisons to Wolfgang Mozart would not be unreasonable or out of place.

Speechless

FLAT OUT FANTASTIC!!!

Gee! Great harmonics!!! So pleasant to the ears

I’m not sure I can find the words to express what an amazing talent Joey is. Pure joy to the senses!

Gives child's play a new meaning

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.

I am so proud to watch all of Joey Alexander Musics.. I know that he will become a Jazz Legend in the World 🎹👌

The people in the front row have no idea that they are witnessing something that comes along in music every couple hundred years.

J'aime autant son humilité que son phrasé.. Extraordinaire gamin !

Joey with the long fingers must help him immensely add to that his already musical genius....marvelous talent.

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.

Ooohhhh...Joey! You're the soul of jazz!

A true genius..

This makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside.

I love his rendition of giant steps

He has 6 pages of written music and doesn't even look at it.

“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.

Awesome performance by Joey and the band ... Joey always brings fun and wonderful thing ... keep it up Joey

The band has a beautiful sound on this.

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.

Where does one go to from here if you have already at age 13 reached this level of maturity and perfection?

Music does wonder for the soul and spirit

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...

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

Truly amazing! Such maturity. What a future for this young jazz artist!

Very fun concerts enjoyed seeing Joey here in York, PA, love the CD's

This is so joyous

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!!!!!!!

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

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.

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..

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

Outstanding. In the beginning, God created the piano so that Joey could make beautiful music for the world.

this video just put a smile on my face, bravo joey!

This ain't a damn 13 year old, that's a 40 year old man, y'all ain't fooling anyone 😭💀

This is primo jazz playing by Joey Alexander.

I met Joey 5 years ago and after the show I approached him and asked: “how do you do it, Joey?” He replied: “It is God…” We have so many reasons to believe that there is something divine, but our beliefs come from or are turned into unfounded fanaticism, looking in the wrong places when God or (whatever you want to call it) is right in front of us in the simplest ways.

Anybody notice the size of his hands? You can really notice at 11:20. They're huge!!!

Amazing young man

Even he speaks in jazz

Maravilhoso! Eu não gosto muito de jazz orquestrado, prefiro sempre o trio clássico, mas o Joey Alexsander é realmente demais!

love the excitement at 16:09

best off pianist ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏

I'm glad he's sitting higher on the bench. More power.

Woaooooooo!!! amazing this guy!!

This video made my heart so soft and so joyful. My mind got to relax.

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!

Who, why, what, when and many more questions about this genius; still in his early teens.

His brainwaves weave with his fingers through the keys...I don't know any other way to put it!.

Wow he is just amazing plays beautifully

This is heaven!

Amazingly incredible.. Performance at its highest.. Two and two more and two more thumbs up

Damn! Speechless!

I love how he plays now, at 18 yo. But the way he musically "talked" at 12 yo was even more melodically appealing somehow. There's something going on here...

it is just beautifull

There is the master and there is the other master and the rest of the masters.....what a poetry

Genius, why not?

como se puede ir más lejos a los trece años, la única explicación a este fenómeno es la "sabiduría genética"

I love JOEY definitely

The arrangement for Very Early by Walter Blandon is also great

We sadly lost Keith Jarrett's playing but gained a new hope

wow ... amazing performance of joey and the band .... beautiful

Glorious arrangement by the way.

A little genius Joe❤️

4:55 THE DRUMMER STANK FACE I LOVE THIS KID

Jo Jo is smiling ar the bass playerf!!!

I'm in Awe!

One a legend and one on his way this to becoming a legend! ❤️❤️❤️

You Joey are the most talented player l have had the pleasure to hear. Would be nice to hear you with a big swing orchestra with strings. You are awesome Dude ! Keep it up and will look forward to coming to a concert when & if you come to the UK ! Respect !

imagine seeing him in one frame wirh Rich Brian

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

I despise how many people cough and stuff like that during such performances... When it's quiet and he is playing so beautifully.

Tengo pena de que recien HOY conozco a Joey, ese prodigio del jazz que viene el extremo oriente pero es como si hubiera nacido en Harlem....
