Exactly

Yeah! Danish master, Morten Lund 🎶

+James Griffin Also slips in "countdown" at 8:09. This isn't something that can be learned at his age. It's a gift from God

+James Griffin he threw in St Thomas, Epistrophy, Moment's Notice, a bird tune i can't remember the name of, Countdown in the intro but the amazing thing about this solo was the way he played on the outside upper extensions of the chords consistently. like at one point for about 3 choruses bars he altered every chord in the exact same way. his ears are more opened up than any player i've ever heard. I don't think even the best jazz players quite hear what he is hearing I've played and studied jazz my whole life and I know he's going a couple levels deeper than what i can break down. I can hear it but it is twisting my ear to do so. And it would take me another whole life time to be able to do it.

+Ray Cabarga he also quotes coltranes "satellite"

James Griffin woah woah... i get the kenny g burn, but dave koz... really?

James Griffin I heard a bit of Lester leaps in too

Exactly. That damn intro could win a Grammy!

So right man, and who are the 7 trump voters who thumbs downed this??? Must have been those damn humans because no other species on earth wouldn't appreciate this haha!

There are also snippets of Epistrophy and Countdown in his solo. Coltrane and Monk are smiling!

seconds earlier there was also a sick anthropology quote

I just looked up the tenor man and it seems he was a prodigy like Joey. The future of jazz is bright with these 2 cats leading the next generation of jazz!

Truer words have rarely been composed in a KZfaq comment Pepper Williams. Brilliant! This kid is the real deal.

Sie haben absolut recht Mr. Williams. Es ist ein Trauerspiel mit den jungen Leuten heutzutage.

Any true musician knows that to compare 2 completely different pieces of music from different times and styles is not fair at all. While music may not require much skill it doesn’t lessen its value. I prefer this way more than Justin Bieber but to call his music shit isn’t really fair

Vox: Giant Steps is the most feared song in jazz Joey Alexander: Hold my Mountain Dew

Wesley Georgiev yes and loved his 26-2 quote

I just found this today. I love his playing. Sound, rhythm, ideas, everything...

Good case for traditional grip

Gabe Morrow spot on...although i think all jazz tunes should be approached in that way ...but this tune even more so

And the kid just only 12

Unlike the Lang-Lang and Lydians of this world, Joey grew up comping: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7SIm7h0sLTXeoU.html

Well put! haha! it's a miracle is what it is and when my mom told me there's a kid from indonesia who plays giant steps like an old pro I thought she was going senile. Then i listened. Tears came to my eyes. It was the first miracle i'd ever seen.

He would only wish he could

Its much more than one soul trapped in that body.

His family is Christian, maybe Baptist, he grew up on Gospel music as well as his Dad's jazz record collection, which must have been excellent. His parents must be wonderful folks, as his head seems really screwed on straight. A gentle soul. We are all very lucky to have him on the planet and to be here when he's here. Coltrane, Monk would be proud.

Hannible Tobe Indonesian had their DNA from African mixed with East Asian. The western indonesian people look like south east asian (thai, malay, philipines), while eastern indonesian (papua) look like african (and very musical), gradualy mixed in the middle. Joey mother is from western indonesian (java, mix with ashkenazy jew), his father is from eastern.

He is already mentioned above. Just click the SHOW MORE button and you will see the drummer's name.

and you can heard billie's bounce too 6:04

@@DVDKC That's Au Privave you're thinking of

@@aidanschram9652 Yes exactly

Nor anyone else

James Steen he also quotes from Countdown

Yes. St Thomas was part of this set: So yes, he's going to quote it.

Poor Tommy Flanagan :D

Yeah, Tommy had two weeks to practice it and he did not know they would be playing it at such a fast tempo!

They pretty much are sticking to the form of the original. How are they departing in your opinion? Because there is an extended cadenza? Jazz forms by nature are very loose compared to other forms of music and the basic form is generally a melody which is expected to be ornamented, inverted and developed etc. alongside a set of chord changes which are expected to be embellished, substituted or even completely reharmonised. The harmony in this sticks very closely to the original form and above and beyond that, the soloist states the head quite clearly and even improvises using a lot of coltrane pattern lines as in the original.

Joey quotes satellite in his solo too.

He also quotes St. Thomas!

The kid almost burst out laughing when he noticed!

Joey sneaks in a couple of his favorites: Epistrophy at 7:53 and Countdown at 8:08

He probably struggles with winning video games which at least makes him human.

Dave Martin he has fast fingers to play video games.

Dave Martin He does! He does kid stuff too. I met him at a gig and he signed my CD "To Ray, Love Joey" in shakey kid handwriting. It was adorable!

Or any other pianist

Never play Giant Step?

"These guys are all pretty good".hmmmm, faint praise ...look forward to seeing your giant steps videos🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@davidscott1052 Advanced artists don't give a-f whether you praise them or not so I'll not bother to discuss your negative reply. I have by the way recorded this tune many times. These guys overplay this tune in my view, but to be forward about why I say so, Coltrane's original solo on this tune more or less sticks to a pre-written script throughout and there's a reason for that. He gives an elegant, concise, pruned solo. His improvisation as such is almost none. G-S is a composition that is very limiting harmonically due to the quick pace. Over the years I have noticed that many artists who record it cannot avoid fluffing it up with filler, chromaticism and other superficialities. That's why I do not pour praise on this recording. Good playing maybe, but virtuosity for the sake of virtuosity is not desirable.

@@jazzlives not harmonically complicated 2 5 1 s throughout and you don't have to play it fast ...I play it as a bossa...did so yesterday night...works really well....I understand your comment ...though I think you will be in a very small minority
