I think Joey is amazing, you can tell that music is his escape and that it is something that has come natural to him. You can tell it comes natural to him by the way he is able to improvise when he plays. This is similar to kids who are naturally good at sports, it just comes natural to them. I think that this kind of talent is so rare, it’s one thing to be able to sing and develop the right voice over the years but to be able to play jazz and improvise from such a young age is incredible. I think you measure talent. I think people are talented in different ways. I think it goes beyond music and sports though. Joey’s talent is different because he wasn’t taught to play this way he just picked it up and got good at it, it wasn’t taught to him. I have never met anyone like this in my life, I’ve seen people work very hard to get to where they are but never this natural talent from such a  young age.
