Awesome. To those complaining there's not a live band, or that there's some backing, a few points: - the guts of the mix are made in front of us, clearly improvised, with some amazingly daring one-off licks. When you have to play overa groove for 5 mins, you have to nail it, and he does, every time. Most of us mortals would play it safe and he never does. - live bands struggle massively to play with any kind of looping, only the originator knows it inside out and if they miss a cue the gig is screwed. If you don't like looping, er, blame James Brown and others, who popularised the idea of repetitive groove 50 years ago. It has been outselling other forms of music ever since, so Jacob is entitled to harness it. - if you want to hear all the tracks live you are going to have to pay 10x the ticket price for the massive orchestra required. - do you really want to sit there for 5 mins while he builds the entire first groove from scratch? and then another 5 for the next section? I think not - what he is doing is a great compromise, the suspense of starting off a groove, then bringing in the recorded stuff with style. Also note he changes the mix for every video, no mean feat, most musicians would just recycle it. He is a total pro and has thought hard about the process, please don't pretend you know better or could do better. People always used to go on about KT Tunstall cos she does a bit of looping. This is several dimensions above that, no offence to her or others who can do it. No-one else does it this intricately. Let's not pretend we have seen it all before. While there are some great musos and performers and composers out there, no-one else on the planet possesses all these skills in one go. Yours, desperate to see this in person...
This performance is just using modern technology and a whole lot more extra work to create a sound that was popularized by groups like Parliament about 40 years ago. If you appreciate it as performance art that's fine, but it isn't good music.
I'll never understand the people that are firmly convinced that the best music has been created in the past, and that to try and use elements of older music is to try and recreate it, and therefore its somehow inferior. Why does there have to be some musical apex that can never be achieved? Why can't Jacob just make modern music that has elements of traditional funk without being placed on some manufactured leaderboard? It's performance art, sure, but it's still just music. Enjoy the expression of the moment and don't get so caught up in what once was. Who cares about how great Parliament used to be? It's not like he got on stage and said "Who wants to see me make funk better than Parliament used to make it?"
Are you Jacob?maybe his lawyer? Let the people think and speak whatever they like. Some will love this stuff, others don’t and is perfectly ok.. He is maybe a genius an makes this stuff to please himself first. I appreciate him so much , he’s great ... but personally i won’t ENJOY more than 15 minutes of his performance...sorry...
What I love about his music is that it's complex and interesting and actually sounds good. It's not just exploring complex theory for the sake of doing so...it's fairly complex harmony that's still accessible and sounds good to the untrained ear
Ahhh Jacob - You didn't tell the audience to modulate! LOL The smart ones figured it out as they went. I don't know how you kept track of it all and kept singing in the right key without a comping instrument. Amazing. And the gospel piano just took it to the moon. Mad love from California.
Even if he didnt have absolute perfect pitch, He still heard the notes he was just playing before. Some people once they hear a note cant get it out of their head for a while xD
He must be very intelligent. Setting your brains into instruments en beats. Very Impressive. He has got a new fan. 59 years old, bassist, double bass en 5-string, highly respect this man
To quote a comment on another Collier video: _"His favourite instrument is the audience"_ The audience inclusion, his energy, his mad music and raw genius is beyond words. This is one instance where it's a blessing _'to be played'._
This is like seeing Mozart for the first time. You know this is something extraordinary. Perhaps greatest musical genius of a century! Imagine him 20 years from now.
This century just started what are you talking about, this is the future, their will be a million just a talented as him... dont get me switched he is good but come on
With all the terrible pop music nowadays, its reassuring knowing that people like Jacob exist. Maybe after this decade, we'll have a new music renaissance of genuinely talented musicians.
moments like 1:38 is what its all about for me. when you can have so much fun with just a simple 2 note idea and make the whole room laugh, you know youre making real music. its the little things that matter.
I am 58 years of age, so I would not be considered the 'demographic' for Jacob's music! That said, this 25 yo is a musical genius! Much like how I enjoy how a magician does his trick, please don't offer to show me how he/she does the 'trick'. I just want to wallow in and enjoy the man at work! 'nuff said :)
This young man will change the way we approach music like only a few have in the past I'm 64 I will never stop learning and I hope I can see the light reach everyone before I die
What the hell just happened. I mean, i just want to sit and admire the way he is. He's an amazing musician, so much confidence and so much groove. WOOOOW
aju86 give him another year to grow. Then you will see. But I agree this is the most amazing thing I've ever seen or heard. He just keeps growing and improving like a musical funky jazz Godzilla. David
To those that are saying Jacob Collier sucks or has no soul or doesn't connect with his audience, you need to understand... Jacob is literally on a whole new plane of existence when it comes to mastery of music theory. Those of you that dislike his music are probably those that also listen to mind-numbing pop music which follows a 4-chord structure with absolutely no variety or substance to the music. Then you've got Jacob Collier, who literally infuses so much substance into his music that most people cannot follow him. There's a reason so many people are calling him the next Mozart; he hears music differently and is able to adapt to many different styles without even breaking a sweat. This IS the next level of musical progress (it was supposed to be atonality... what a joke that was.). Anyone that is watching this is witnessing the next musical genre being born. Jacob Collier is a genius. Enjoy his music for what it is.
Alone he is from heaven. Alone and over sampled he is still from heaven! How can that child play all those instruments so incredibly well? only heaven knows!!
I cant help but smile and laugh this music is so uplifting and brilliant... I have never experienced the same vibe from anyone else on the planet... Jacob Collier is from the future and came back to show us love and energy is all we need.
We are struck by his ability to orchestrate sounds, all the sounds of the orchestra, his ability to combine sounds, with a great sense of rhythm, something that feels really innate And, beyond that, we feel all the lucidity of the artist who feels carried by his talent at the top of notoriety, international notoriety, we can speak of the phenomenon Jacob Collier, which makes this artist, a star, The musician in good taste, the one you need to know, the one who can propel you or relaunch your career thanks to a cleverly concocted duo, and, by that, Jacob knows that he is good, not to say exceptional! Through small gestures that may seem trivial, we know that he knows, and this leads him at times, beyond an apparent generosity, to show condescension. His way of greeting his partners, in particular by nervously patting the backs, shoulders or hands of his partners, even sometimes of the conductor, shows at what level he places others and at what level he places himself. It was obvious with Daniel Ceasar especially in his duet on the song "Best Part". We can also sometimes feel a lack of modesty in the way he plays, of speaking while playing the keyboard pretending it is harmless, of making long starts and ends, and also of playing with his power over the crowd. There is something uncomfortable there sometimes and yet his talent is undeniable and you never tire of listening to him. The resumptions are all beautiful. I am a fan and at the same time I tell myself that we must not kid ourselves about the character, that is to say about the young man who is hiding behind the artist: is he also virtuous? To see in time.
Forgive me lord, I will practice more.
I know the feeling pal. :(
lol
40 hours a day
@@Dog3D interesting!
"lord" is a real weird way of spelling Jacob Collier
i have never met a man who has both destroyed me and inspired me so heavily at the same time
I would like to know what inspired that profile pic
Couldn't agree more
Sometimes i feel like leaving music and sometimes i want to be like him
@@Roh0io what is life without music??
@@thecannabisguru a void of eternal darkness
Will someone please wrap him in plastic bubbles every time he travels? I need to know what music he's making in 30, 40 years from now.
damn
the image of this makes me laugh
In the future Jacob will be in history books I swear
woah his personality is adorable
so much that hurts :(
Maybe that's patronising, but I agree anyway that he is a beautiful human being! Love you Jacob.

Giving glory to Christ. That's the way to do it. He is the one who gifted him with all his many talents. Cool of you to mention him.
What I love about his music is that it's complex and interesting and actually sounds good. It's not just exploring complex theory for the sake of doing so...it's fairly complex harmony that's still accessible and sounds good to the untrained ear
he doesn’t do it for the theory though he’s said before its his inner feeling of how the music should move
@@frogclan6738 exactly!!
Ryan Dempsey thats why it sounds so good 👍
Best singalong I've ever been part of.
netenemy you were lucky :(
I was there too. Amazing. Transformative.
Ahhh Jacob - You didn't tell the audience to modulate! LOL The smart ones figured it out as they went. I don't know how you kept track of it all and kept singing in the right key without a comping instrument. Amazing. And the gospel piano just took it to the moon. Mad love from California.
Aimee, your duet video with Jacob is cray! Sincerity, a fan.
Aimee Nolte Music I think he has absolute pitch, so he can feel the right note without reference
Aimee Nolte Music lol I thought the same thing on the crowd participation. He just kinda let them figure it out the modulation on their own 😂😂😂
Even if he didnt have absolute perfect pitch, He still heard the notes he was just playing before. Some people once they hear a note cant get it out of their head for a while xD
Hi Aimee! Jacob has perfect pitch... I think that's how he managed to keep track without a comping instrument.
He must be very intelligent. Setting your brains into instruments en beats. Very Impressive. He has got a new fan. 59 years old, bassist, double bass en 5-string, highly respect this man
This is more than just an amazing music performance.
This is entertainment at its highest level.

From Lebanon. Words are too limited for you. You are epic!
0:38 Don't you know it's not polite to play a dank reharmonized clav bassline over your words while you're speaking? smh the nerve
Don't you know hahahha
it's like he wanted the bass to match the tone of his words.
I thought the same thing xD
Such blantant disrespect! I shall have to hear it again... and again... on second thought, I retract my previous statement.
Very popular technique these days. Harmonizing normal conversations/rants/speeches has become something of a meme on Instagram. Check out Mononeon!
He and Andersoon .Paak should make a dope song!!
yes!!!
Still waiting that moment
Say no to drugs
Let's get trippy and ad thundercat to the mix
its official they are going to

Playing bass like that independently of singing. So sick. Unreal

Always fun to watch Jake. Can't wait to get home to play guitar again. This guy is very inspiring
Jacob is adorable.

this guy gives me faith in humanity
My word, half the fun of this performance is watching him jump from one thing to the next. He does it all with such finesse. Color me impressed
saw this guy perform with Snarky Puppy in London, he is an absloute genuis.
I was at that gig too! when they announced Jacob my friends and I lost it!

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner or maybe I just like music that's different and not the same as everything else out there... just a thought.

This would be awesome in a stadium. Split them down the middle and jam. Just incredible. Good on you Jacob. : )
