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
