Joey Alexander Trio
he’s now comfortable in his new identity as a composer-pianist of fertile imagination and emotional depth. Since a tender age, Alexander has been widely regarded as one of the most highly skilled pianists and thoughtful improvisers in jazz. Continuance, however, presents him primarily as a composer of haunting chamber jazz who leads an ensemble with its own point of view. Continuance shows his writing and playing have continued to deepen.
Talking about his growth as a composer, Alexander cites inspirations from outside the jazz world, including Ennio Morricone, John Mayer, Burt Bacharach, and, perhaps surprisingly, even Bonnie Raitt. “I learn from all these artists about the different genres I can bring into my music,” Alexander says. “I still love hearing jazz, of course. But all these influences help me to be a better composer. I’m always thinking ‘How can I connect with a broader audience.’ In my pursuit of being a better improviser and composer, I always strive to bring fresh, creative ideas to the table, both melodically and harmonically.” Alexander will be joined on this concert date by bassist Kris Funn and drummer Jonathan Barber.
