Musical Prodigies

Today on "Jazz for Aficionados" we were introduced to a young Korean musician who obviously has "the gift."  No one is really sure why this happens, but it's undeniable.

Greatest ever, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Could play tunes on the harpsichord at age 2. Composed his first works at age 5:

As far as Jazz piano goes, the great Herbie Hancock definitely qualifies. More along the lines of the Korean young man, the young Indonesian phenom Joey Alexander is undoubtedly a prodigy. Unbelievable maturity in his playing. Age 11!
