Joey Alexander is a 11 year old Jazz prodigy. I don't know jazz well enough to tell good from great, but the experts say he's not your average run-of-the-mill prodigy--he's amazing.

Besides the fact that a 11-year old can play like that, what's interesting to me is that he was born and brought up in Indonesia, far from the centers of the jazz scene. But he was still able to immerse himself in that world through CDs and YouTube videos. Yet another reminder of how technology has shrunk our world and expanded the boundaries of what's possible.
