He's using a unique hybrid analog and midi-controlled piano that's playing his pre-recorded notes WHILE he performs live on the SAME keys SIMULTANEOUSLY in precision timing.🤯🤗
I should have added the observation that "Don't Stop..." has two stand out features. He pushes the absolute limits, into chromaticism every which way ,whilst not for an instant compromising our delighting in the through-line of the melodic. Second is the powerful rhythmic pulse, again utterly flexible and beguiling even in the quieter moments. The five dimensional clock in his head never compromises the opportunity for simple bodily groove. (The head banging at 3:55 in this video gets me every time.) JC makes us work for these simplest, most delightful rewards, yet its nice work if you can get it.
I'm so glad you played this one. I have long considered this masterpiece sadly overlooked. When I think of the arranging, pre-planning, interaction between Jacob and what he's programed it just blows my mind. And he is such a bloody showman on top of it all. He knows at every nano second where is program is, where he needs to be and to be riffing the whole time....my God! There is nobody else like Jacob. Thanks again for playing this one a magical journey every time I hear it. Hey for a delightful little Christmas cheer consider Tori Kelly, Jacob Collier collab on "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas". It is so full of joy. th-cam.com/video/XsVy4ImgM0o/w-d-xo.html
Please please react to some of his extended improvs at the NY Blue Note with Chris Thile. (Drive my car? Don't think twice?) Maybe a little more challenging This stuff is different again and CT is possibly one of the best musicians on the planet according to JC. CT sez JC is music in human form.
You're videos are dope my dude! I have a recommendation that might be a bit off brand for your chanel.... but you should check out "Sissel Kyrkjebø - Solveigs Song" . I'm almost certain you'll tear up or at least be awestruck at her vocal performance. It's one of mt favorite pieces of all time!
PLEASE credit artists you react to. You mention his name and the song performed in the bio but fail to credit the original post. Here you go: th-cam.com/video/KC3GrzoQG9U/w-d-xo.html
Maybe add a live performance? For example: _Jacob Collier - Sleeping On My Dreams (Live In Lisbon)_ th-cam.com/video/8ezYyKtK1b8/w-d-xo.html (6min 17sec) or _@jacobcollier1294 - Never Gonna Be Alone | A Take Away Show_ th-cam.com/video/TmBqowevoVA/w-d-xo.html in a Paris street Best Wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy, Peaceful New Year. ☮
Mind blowing that people like this exist... I'm so glad to be in a time where I get to see and hear it. It's nice to share a planet with them. :)

Yes stank-smiling face and speechless !!
So. Fun. Great way to start my week.
Glad you had fun as much as I did :D
This guy is something else. Looking forward to the holiday reaction (it's coming, right? ...right?) and the new Snarky Puppy reaction!
Ok…What did I just watch. Let me sober up from the company xmas party and I’ll check back in the morning. Beautiful and full Jacob.
We all shine and grow in the presence of genius. Nice vid - thanks!
It's his mind, man. There are a LOT of great players, but this guy's mind is different. I don't think you can learn that.
Well said.
Ah. He stopped because he got enough. Clever. :D
When I found out he won TWO Grammys at the age of….what was it…. 19 ?
That explained a lot. Then I was more curious. My brain has scars. 🥴
Great reactions, you should check out Hiromi, “I got rhythm” “canon in D” or “Tom and Jerry”

Maybe a little more challenging

You should watch his “All night long” version. You might like it.
Just did it recently, check it out! :D LOVED IT!

Aah, you're right. Never had a reaction channel before, so it's all still new to me. Thanks for the heads up!
Maybe add a live performance? For example:
_Jacob Collier - Sleeping On My Dreams (Live In Lisbon)_ th-cam.com/video/8ezYyKtK1b8/w-d-xo.html (6min 17sec) or
_@jacobcollier1294 - Never Gonna Be Alone | A Take Away Show_ th-cam.com/video/TmBqowevoVA/w-d-xo.html in a Paris street
