Rencananya Joey akan bawakan lagu di album baru, "Warna", atau lagu lain?
Oh, for sure, music from this new album, "Warna". And sometimes I'd like to put some standards, but mostly, primarily more (of) my original composition. I want to share more (of) my original works.
Soal album baru "Warna", kenapa namanya "Warna" (bahasa Indonesia), padahal kan untuk audiens di US? Ada pertimbangan khusus?
Well, first, this ablum "Warna" is about my journey. Perjalanan saya sama musisi yang berbeda. Dan saya cuma bisa bilang tentang... my experiences main sama musisi lain. Setiap musisi yang bermain sama saya itu berikan true color-nya mereka. Itu adalah their personality; mereka punya style, sound, yang menurut saya itu menunjukkan true color, their true color.

Itu saya rasakan setiap saya bermain sama mereka. Ya, saya bersyukur bisa bermain sama musisi yang the best musician di dunia ini, jazz.
Can you name those musicians?
Oh yes, of course. Saya undang drummer Kendrick Scott, dia sendiri juga band leader. Dan yang main bass itu, he was also in my first two albums by the name of Larry Grenadier. I also invited two guests on percussions, Luisito Quintero and flautist Anne Drummond.
In this album I also want to incorporate different sounds. Sounds that I haven’t tried before, instruments that I haven’t played before. So it’s something... it’s new experience for me, and I am so happy to also share my original works.
And I’ve been composing since previous album “Eclipse”, so I wanna extend from “Eclipse” to now “Warna”.
