  • Musical genius and multi-instrumentalist Jacob Collier joins us today for part one of a two-part conversation. In 2011, when Jacob was only 17, he began posting videos to TH-cam of himself singing and playing music. His break-out video, a rendition of Stevie Wonder’s “Don’t You Worry ‘Bout a Thing” received millions of views and praise from musical legends like Herbie Hancock, David Crosby, and Quincy Jones.
    Since then, he’s gone on to release five albums, including his 2016 self-produced debut In My Room, and this year’s Piano Ballads, an 11-track album of improvised piano pieces he played at various shows during a recent tour.
    On today’s episode, Bruce Headlam speaks to Jacob Collier about making his latest live album, his creative process, and his musical admiration for Stevie Wonder. Jacob also plays piano throughout the two episodes, and breaks down advanced musical concepts.

    ABOUT BROKEN RECORD
    For generations of music lovers, the liner notes on albums were a central part of the way music was heard. You bought an album and it came with an accompanying narrative: a digression, an aside, a backstory-maybe even an invented history. We intuitively understood that great music required not just listening but conversation between the artist and the audience and the audience and the rest of the world.
    Broken Record is a podcast that restarts those conversations-in a world without liner notes-for a new audience of music lovers.
    Broken Record is hosted by Justin Richmond with interviews by producer Rick Rubin, writer Malcolm Gladwell, and former New York Times editor Bruce Headlam.

      @@nickdobbs989 I think he might have help arrange a song, or was vocals. But im not sure that he actually scored or was the main source of music. IMDB says music by Hans Zimmer and Steve Mazzaro. In any case, man deserves to compose and score an entire film

      ​@@alansouthall8221did you see the Grammys a few weeks ago? Joni Mitchell sang 'Both Sides Now' to great acclaim, supported by a scratch band of friends and fellow musicians - including, at the piano, one J. Collier. He played beautifully, of course, but he left his ego in the green room room that day, because he seemed to understand that the gig wasn't really about him, and his job was to honour the great lady rather than himself. He didn't want to be a distraction, and being intelligent, generous and sensitive, he moderated his playing accordingly. So I think it's very likely that when he does eventually do a film score all on his ownsome, he'll understand his role, and not fuck it up!

    I can listen to JC talk music for hours--and this is among the best interviews that allowed JC to reel off his philosophy, like a free-form jazz improv

    Jacob is an absolute LIGHT! Adore his beingness and what he’s showing the world about energy and connectedness through his musical genius and profound creational enthusiasm!
    Can we get video? There was video in a promo somewhere that brought me here in hopes… Also the opening rendition you all start of discussing wasn’t included which was immediately sad.

    Wow!
    I've binged on podcast-style interviews with Jacob Collier here on TH-cam in the last week+. I've known about Jacob for years, but didn't really get into him as a person until only very recently. He's a great guy, with a gift that he doesn't want to keep secret. Wonderful!
    @Broken Record Podcast - This conversation here was right up there with the very best I've heard! Loved it... 👍
    20:34 - Jacob plays the Stevie line for "Don't you worry 'bout a thing" just perfectly. I know it's absolutely expectable that Jacob will have learned Stevie's classic descending chromatic chord sequence... But man, you can tell that's not the way he thinks, not how he played it. He played Stevie's chords perfectly, off the bat. Because, he knew how to play the hell out of it...
    Jacob - you da man... 👌

    Bob James did a similar thing with his first albums, not so palatable as what he became ultimately with Fourplay, but a critical part of his exploration that led him down a unique path altogether.
