答案： 【解析】：
题目考查了英语语法和词汇的正确使用，涉及的知识点包括固定短语、代词、动名词、形容词、副词、名词、连词、时态和词性转换等。
1. 考查固定短语be considered as，意为“被认为是...”，故填as。
2. 考查代词，此处表示“他自己”，用反身代词himself。
3. 考查动名词，from是介词，后接动名词形式，故填feeling。
4. 考查形容词，此处表示“惊讶的”，用surprised。
5. 考查副词，修饰动词gave用副词directly，表示“直接地”。
6. 考查名词复数，piece是可数名词，此处表示“多首困难的爵士乐曲”，用复数形式pieces。
7. 考查连词，此处表示“那就是为什么他更喜欢爵士而不是现代或古典音乐”，用why引导表语从句。
8. 考查时态，根据时间状语In December, 2011可知，此处用一般过去时，且Joey与invite之间是被动关系，故填was invited。
9. 考查时态，根据so far可知，此处用现在完成时，且Joey是第三人称单数，故填has performed。
10. 考查词性转换，此处修饰名词journey，用形容词musical，表示“音乐的”。
