四、阅读理解
Joey Alexander was born in Bali, Indonesia on June 25, 2003. He is so talented(有天赋的) in jazz that he is thought as a jazz prodigy(神童). He just prefers to be thought of as himself or as a jazz musician.
Joey is from Indonesia but lives in New York now. He started playing the piano when he was 6 years old. He says his success isn't from a great number of lessons; it's from feeling the music in his heart.
When Joey was 6 years old, his parents brought home a minikeyboard. And to their surprise, Joey could play the melody(乐曲) of Well, You
Needn't(a Jazz classic written by Thelonious Monk). His parents directly gave him piano lessons. In just a year or so, he could already play difficult jazz pieces. For him, jazz is really great. It makes him feel free when he is playing it. That's why he likes jazz best, but not classical music or pop music.
In December 2011, Joey was invited to play in front of the wellknown jazz musician Herbie Hancock during his visit to Indonesia. At the age of 12, Joey had performed and collaborated(合作) with many top jazz musicians. He has performed in many jazz festivals like Jakarta International Java Jazz Festival.
