I know almost all these posts are singers. But since it says 'Musicians' also, I thought I'd post this amazing young jazz pianist with a once-in-a-lifetime combination of skill and sensitivity for his age. This level of musicianship, self-taught, and so young, is unheard of. I thought of him, too, since he's the same age range as the Libera boys.

Great! 
Always so wonderful to see young kids being able to play a musical instrument so well. To see their passion in something so beautiful. Let's hope he has a wonderful musical life ahead of him!

Re: Joey Alexander
He's amazing! Syncopation is tough (at least for me)
Re: Joey Alexander
I forgot to briefly mention above that he doesn't let loose until about 4:15.
Here's an hour of his music, recorded a year ago in Copenhagen. He keeps up with the professionals at age 11. His first CD is out, and he'll be headlining at the Newport Jazz Festival this summer. And like Libera, he gives credit to God for his talent - good for him.
