This kid is great. Being this smooth at such a young age probably means his compressed Jazz-musician timeline should put him at unlistenably experimental by about 18 1/2 though…

That’s the same age most jazz kids go through their unlistenably experimental stage, only his unlistenably experimental stuff might actually be good.

The bassist in the iso booth looks hilariously sketchy. “Hey kid… I’m watching you through this tiny window…”
But yeah, this kid is good. Damn good. Usually you can tell the prodigies are young, even if they’re technically good, on how clinical they sound. But this kid just gets on with it. I wish I’d heard him play blind for the first time to circumvent any expectation bias.
