I just copped my front row balcony seats to see him at the Berks Jazzfest in Reading in April. $40, a steal. Still seats remaining for those who care to come. Can’t wait

The kid has a 10-minute youtube in-studio clip of Coltrane’s "Little Giant" with Grenadier and Owens (bass and
drums) where his reaction at the end is so funny. I think he’s actually thinking, "We nailed that one!". Or maybe,
"Homerun!". Heck, maybe he’s thinking, "Money!"

Trust… I know I don’t get on here as much. So much going on in life. I am still playing, writing and recording in my little home studio. Something I’ll never give up until God says “it’s over”. I hope you’re well.

He just turned 12, but the track I heard sounded like the playing of an exceptional adult. Technical prodigies come along every few years, but Joey plays with depth, maturity, and an imaginative and advanced vocabulary that completely belie his lack of years. Yikes ... they’re coming to replace us!

Springing up like whole forms of
natural selection indeed. I seem to
recall seeing a youtube video once
where Pat discussed his
"homunculus." I imagine the
interviewer or whoever came up with
that premise. I admit having to google
the word homunculus.

Foper,
Man, long time since I talked you my friend. I hope all is well. I just watched Joey on a TED talk and was absolutely
spellbound. Pat was a prodigy as well although he likely wont admit it. It is so good to see that the universe Loves
Jazz. These miracles of music evolution spring up like whole forms of natural selection.
As always, thanks for the post. Hope you are still playing and writing music.
Thanks!
Kevin

Foper, thanks for pointing him out. This kid has to be the all time prodigy of
jazz, at 11 playing the Newport Jazz Festival. And make no mistake, if you close
your eyes and listen, he ’s got incredible rhythm and chops !!
