Holy crap!! I remember going to band camp with this kid. I was 15, he was about 9. Every camper is wearing t shirts, shorts, sandals, etc. This kid came in a suit and tie, EVERY DAY. At a sleep away camp. And proceeded to blow us all away with his piano chops. Crowds formed around him every time he played. So happy to see him earn success and play at such a high level, at such a young age.

Yup thought that also, that it was just a solo piece he'd rehearsed..then he appeared to be "comping" experimenting with the arrangement..can seam too staged if these youngsters can't flex loosen up a little

The amount of knowledge he has to have about chord progressions, inversions, extensions, jazz progressions etc. beyond just the technical ability to play the instrument is so impressive at that age. I feel like he is too young to even have had the time to have learned all of that information. That is so amazing!

yes and no, I think if you're this deep this young, you just feel and hear what sounds right and what the arrangement asks for, you don't 'have to know what youre doing' to play complex chords etc. that aside, im sure he has a deep understanding of what he does

I like the way the band stayed out of the kid’s way. The guitar is just strumming chords, the base is just doing a soft walk and the drummer is using brushes and the high hat and that’s it. Pros.

I love how in sync the older guy is with the prodigy. He saw what directions the kid was going and came in so smoothly it could've been choreographed. Just a show of talent versus experience.

This little boy has the soul of jazz. He feels the music and enjoys doing it as well.

The groove is strong with this one

Notice how he said “I like to *listen* to jazz.” Instead of “play jazz”. It is believed that the human brain can naturally pick up human language at a young age just by listening. Young brains can just listen and “build” the language on their own. That’s why we didn’t really need to “study” as babies to learn how to talk and communicate. Language is just interpreting sounds and producing a meaningful responses using a part of our body, like our mouth or hands. Is that not the same as playing jazz in a band? I think this young prodigy really did just spend so much time listening and discovering jazz when he was very little. Jazz is as natural to him as speaking. He just knows what to do when he hears the progressions. And he can to do it without doing calculations, remembering music theory, or relying on sheet music. Pretty cool 😎

@christophmunch4796

That is exactly what was going on when he was a little boy. The only reason why not more young people learn to play so well so early is that 99,9999% of kids don't develop such an interest and curiosity for such music and for playing the piano. Generally only a very, very small percentage of people get such a burning interest in a subject.

- I’d like to listen jazz… *proceeds playing jazz*

He's such a natural on the piano and I love how chilled and laid back he is, doing what he loves the most. Its a much more pleasant sound then other kids his age where it feels like a competition to play as quickly and dramatically as possible, which loses the joy of the music.

Amazing young man. Polished and wise beyond his years. His sense of musical rhythm, style and arrangement are truly an inspiration. What a gift to the world replacing the current non-musical talents and noise with real joy to watch and listen!

This was great -- seemed to me that the kiddo opened up and played a lot more adventurously after the gent sat down and played with him a bit. It was nice to see -- and I think he thrived on -- their interaction.

First time seeing a kid three times younger than myself absolutely kill it on piano without rethinking my life choices. I know this is an old video, but.. wonderfully done.

Chords that he plays: G7/9( A bass) to D13+ to G0/7 Transpcription: G to D to A7

The performance is so good, but it is so beautiful to see the two of them play happily

Love this boy's attitude to playing! He clearly absolutely loves the music he's playing!

This young gentleman is not playing music! He is playing WITH music :) Bravo!

He was freelance jazzin with the dude who stepped in. I totally smiled thru this whole thing. Holy crap what talent! I stumbled on this looking at progidy violinists.....Good lord the talent amongst us!

Es el primer pianista tan jóven que veo que realmente es un artista, que disfruta y siente lo que hace. Ya pasó la frontera de la técnica para lograr transmitir sus emociones en el piano. Qué bueno es ser tan jóven y saber lo que se quiere ser, hacerlo bien y disfrutarlo!

I don’t even play jazz piano, yet this makes me want to quite nevertheless.

Talent and this kid has the ear. Not many born with it-or know what to do with it once they realize what they have. This kid is fantastic!

Did not expect that, how strange to see something so advanced, so young. Really good for his age.

I literally watched this with my mouth opened... He got skills, not just know how to play a song, He KNOWs what he is doing wtf

I am truly speechless he has a hear for music he has that loving touch of those pearly keys and I could sit and listen to him and watch his expression of pure enjoyment all night.

The amount of work put in, for such a young person, is seriously impressive. And man he plays so damn well.

I’m blown away by how young this pianist is. This fundamental jazz piece isn’t played often, but is one of a few jazz pieces that are our core. I love that he enjoys the music. His improv is incredible. I would love to have this prodigy piano player revive jazz again. Not many people at his level and genre today.

Wow! Just Wow! This little guy throws all the subtleties in there with ease. Bravo!!!!!
