還記得大概九年前，在爵士樂圈流傳一支影片，是一位年僅11歲的小男孩，彈著爵士樂手們公認最具挑戰的名曲、由薩克斯風大師約翰．柯川創作的〈Giant Steps〉，此曲艱難之處在於用極快的速度，頻繁地轉換和聲行進，對樂手即興極具考驗。但影片中才小學六年級年紀的男孩，靦腆地、不急不徐的彈奏主題、進入即興樂段……哇！這11歲男孩游刃有餘地，彈著流暢、漂亮的即興樂句，讓一旁的爵士樂手們不斷驚呼，因為他的音樂語法完全超齡，實在太令人驚艷了！
小男孩叫做喬伊．亞歷山大，2003年出生在印尼，沒有接受過正統專業的音樂訓練，僅靠著聽爸爸的爵士唱片自學。這樣一位極具天賦的音樂神童很快得到賞識！2014年，受林肯中心爵士樂團音樂總監溫頓．馬沙利斯的邀請演出，演出後獲得極高的讚譽，讓喬伊．亞歷山大的名字很快的受到爵士樂壇注目，演出邀約不斷！
喬伊並不像許多音樂神童只是曇花一現，16歲的年紀，已獲得三項葛萊美獎提名，並且不斷挑戰自己，提升高度！今年20歲的他，已有六張專輯問世。除了演奏、創作，他也帶領著他的鋼琴三重奏在全世界巡迴演出。
年紀輕輕就享譽國際的喬伊．亞歷山大，是一位充滿爵士老靈魂的少年，他彈奏細膩、精準，成熟且專注，從他身上感受不到年少得志的傲氣，只有純真的笑容與在音樂面前的謙遜與真誠！
Approximately nine years ago, a video gained popularity within the jazz community: it featured an 11-year-old boy skillfully performing John COLTRANE's masterpiece, "Giant Steps." This piece, widely recognized for its complexity, demands a highly rapid tempo and frequent harmonic progression changes, challenging musicians' improvisational abilities. Despite his young age, the boy in the video adeptly navigated the theme and transitioned into improvisation, impressing seasoned jazz musicians with his advanced musical language and remarkable talent.
The young boy, Joey ALEXANDER, was born in Indonesia in 2003. Lacking formal professional music education, he relied solely on his father's jazz records for self-guided learning. Alexander's prodigious musical abilities were soon acknowledged, and in 2014, he received an invitation from Wynton MARSALIS, the music director of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, to perform. The subsequent accolades garnered attention within the jazz world, resulting in a steady stream of performance opportunities.
Joey ALEXANDER's success was not fleeting, as often with child prodigies. By 16, he had already earned three Grammy nominations and continued to push his boundaries. Now 20 years old, ALEXANDER has released six albums and leads his piano trio on global tours, in addition to his performance and composition work.
Despite his youth, the internationally renowned Joey ALEXANDER possesses the soul of a seasoned jazz musician. His playing is characterized by delicacy, precision, and maturity, exhibiting a focused demeanor that belies his age. There is no trace of arrogance resulting from his early success; instead, one can only see his genial smile, humility, and sincerity in the presence of music.
