3 Grammy®
Nominations
Grammy®-nominated jazz pianist, composer and bandleader JOEY ALEXANDER
has announced the release of his major label debut album on Verve Records:
WARNA. Slated for release January 31, the album is primarily a collection of
reflective, moving, new and original music by an experienced and confident
musician. Translating as “color” in Alexander’s native language of Bahasa, WARNA
follows four Motéma Music albums that garnered the pianist three Grammy®
nominations, top-spots on Billboard jazz charts, and multiple critics’ and readers’
poll victories in DownBeat and JazzTimes.
“ None of us could have imagined what it's like to see Joey Alexander play
that piano with such mastery. The thing is, when you see him play live, you
quickly forget his age and get lost in the intense focus of his performance.
The crowd was both mesmerized and humbled.”– NPR
