MUSIC: "Blackbird" by Joey Alexander

INCREDIBLE

Amazing someone so young

Can perform so well on the piano

And to be able to just be Jazz

Play Jazz, Compose Jazz

Joey must have been born

With his soul steeped in Jazz

Incredible composer and performer for any age

Remember the Mr. Mister song, Broken Wings, that I posted on Tuesday. In that post, I mentioned that The Beatles also used the line, "take these broken wings and learn to fly" in their song, Blackbird. In this video, Joey Alexander takes The Beatles song and makes it his own by performing his Jazz interpretation of the song.

"I first performed "Blackbird" in 2014 (age 11), but I didn’t have a chance to record it until 2017. When I hear “Blackbird” and especially when I play it, I feel a sense of freedom, hope and thankfulness." - Joey Alexander

MUSIC: "City Lights" by Joey Alexander

INCREDIBLE: A Mozart of Jazz

"Joey Alexander’s (born 2003) jaw-dropping ability and beyond-his-years artistry brought him to some of the grandest stages, from performing at the GRAMMYs and the White House, to appearing on the TODAY Show and 60 Minutes. Just over a year removed from his debut, the same maturity and dedication to his craft that made him a phenomenon is evident in his remarkable evolution on his sophomore release, COUNTDOWN. Joey now steps forward as a composer, while still paying tribute to the jazz greats (Coltrane, Monk, Strayhorn)."
