Well said!! I'll also add that when Jacob Collier tries to learn your arrangement of 'Happy Birthday', you know you're a legend!! :-) One of the best TH-cam videos I've seen in a long time. Two out-of-this-world musicians. So inspiring.
2 utter legends here in terms of musical skill and positive spirit. Jacob's CPU is off the charts and Greg has such fantastic chops and a beautiful soul. Bless you both x
Jacob Collier est mon IDOLE. je le 'suis' depuis 6 ans maintenant. J'ai assisté à tous ses shows à Montréal... Une véritable expérience spirituelle à chaque fois!
Two of my favorite musicians at the same time!! They are both talented (immensely), intelligent, pleasant, joy-filled, and FUN!!! Thanks for posting - greatly enjoyed the exchange.
“Harmonic Painting” (mixing note by note) 18:25 “The Higher the Resolution is of My Understanding” (Questions asked and answered, repeatedly, with greater and greater depth and granularity while maintaining great Patience for the journey all in service of loving/respecting the music adequately) 18:36 - 19:29
Man I wish I had perfect pitch, not that it would necessarily make me a good musician but after watching this stream and the one with Charlie Puth--it is crazy how they communicate ideas so effortlessly
I'm currently learning perfect pitch and creating an app that will allow me to do perfect pitch training 24/7, believe me my friend, it's not as difficult as you think.
@@jasonruffjr3107 its not possible to just learn it over a certain age, there have been many studies that find this, you are probably training memory of notes, which lets you remember notes, which is different to perfect pitch, as you are trying to recall notes from memory rather than just instantly knowing what it is
@@FinlayPacks do you think it's like this... You learn letters and numbers as a kid for example ABC123. You instantly know what these are when you see them written down. People with perfect pitch thus instantly know what it is juts by hearing it in isolation (not its relationship to another note you just heard which is relative pitch)
You are correct I do recall about 9 notes from memory, the other 3 (f sharp, b, b flat) instantly but memorizing is the first step to pure reaction. I know the studies that you are talking about and they don't scare me. Chances are is that they took a few people (without pp) and played notes on the piano told them what those notes were and over months and months of practice they probably got better at recalling the notes from memory but never succeeded however what I will be doing is that but 24/7 with an app that I am currently creating.
@@jasonruffjr3107 Hey there jason, just wanted to know (as i'm a huge p.p. fanatic/searcher) is there anything you've come across that you think has helped you more than others? Would love to know anything you can mention- the more the better! for me personally, i've been working on 'true pitch' stuff (associating the timbre of an acoustic instrument with the 'vowel-ness' of each pitch), as well as unlocking chords and diads. cheers! jeff
This was a sheer joy to watch. This is rare indeed a casual conversation with geniuses. I felt like a Fly on the wall taking it all in. And he's right.Jacob is from another planet.
@@Scriabin_fan good point. They could be nobs when the cameras are off but I get the feeling they are not, especially Jacob Although the "brah" thing is annoying and doesn't really suit him lol. Pet peeve of mine
46:43 This is the method that Prince would use in order to get his to sound like it's speeded up. Ex: DANCE 4 ME, PARTYMAN, IF I WAS YOUR GIRLFRIEND, HOUSEQUAKE, FUNK, etc. Whenever Prince would record songs like that using anaolg, he would record the instruments at regular speed. Then he would slow the track down and record the vocals. When he would take the track back to it's normal speed, his would voice would sound like it was speeded up a bit. He would apply the same method when he recorded songs like FUNKNROLL when using digital devices.
How good was that? Watching two massive musical talents swap notes and not a sign of ego. Check Greg working with Eric Clapton, "Tearing us apart" Fantastic!
The tag team that might just make my head explode. I've found this and I just can't watch it right now. I have to get into the head space where I can absorb what I know I'm about to hear. Will get back to this later today for sure.
never mind Patience: the LOVE for music & CARE for humanity (because That's what it comes down to) it takes to mix music for everyone's enjoyment, so that time isn't a factor! 🤯
51:23 when Jacob's eyebrow goes south like that, you've piqued his interest. I remember when Greg was the Jacob Collier of his day. in fact, when greg worked with stevie he was about as old as JC is here. Stevie would yell at greg about his never-ending re-harmonizing in the studio. lol
Watching this with my simple little brain just got even more mind-blowing when I realized the video is a mirror image of reality, super confusing when the hands are opposite way around to what I'm expecting!
It didn´t look like Jacob has the same feel like Greg for music as he actually appears to be in his music and Greg fell for this wrong guy. Sorry Greg but there are a lot of real musicians to blend with easily out there. Jacob is just a confused and fake musician with his computed music. And last but no least i have been a pianist for years up till now and it is not wrong to play multiple of instruments but it can bring you down if you will not try to master as at least as one instrument. Jacob is just the wrong example and blending all and everything into each other which is just not music but is just some hobby and knowing and pretending he doesn´t know that. But Greg you surprised me even more with true skills and God bless you.
First, something must be wrong with your ears or you didn´t listen properly to this conversation. Second...who are you to judge these top world class musicians? Jealous? Your name doesn´t seem to be known in the music industry at all....so Jacob somehow must have got a lot more knowledge of music than you have and seems to be very successful with it. So please improve your knowledge of music before judging other musicians...by the way I recommend Master Classes at several universities worldwide which are given by Jacob. Little examples you will find on TH-cam!
@@dariarichter2684 thanks for your comment I did just commented I did not realy judge. I am not a known musician is true cause i am new to this industry but everytime i play people like it. And Jacob Colier knows what I am talking about cause it is not wrong to make a comment based on perception on the music industry. That's why I know where Greg is coming from cause I see myself in him. And Greg is just a naturel pianist so my ears are ok.
@@Smith3726 Mister, you just called Jacob a fake musician. I respect your opinion but I'd rather take Greg's opinion about Jacob. I don't/can't understand everything he does but I don't need to hate him for that.
@@zerogabz1153 That is true my brother and Thank you for showing such a respectful message. But my man the thing is that in music field we deal with a lot of people and sometimes they tell me why didn't you tell me earlier. I am a very zealous man my bro I don't hate Jacob at all. I was just trying to enlighten the conversation. Please forgive me if I hurt anyone's feeling that is not my goal. I could just feel what Greg didn't want to say. Peace to you all and much love.
It's so cool to have someone I respect like Greg Phillinganes articulates the same feelings I have for Jacob's mastery of music.
When Greg Philliganes tries to practice your song, you've made it :}
Well said!! I'll also add that when Jacob Collier tries to learn your arrangement of 'Happy Birthday', you know you're a legend!! :-)

I'm not a musician but this is one of the most inspiring cross-generational conversations between artists I've ever seen.
You know you’ve made it when Greg Phillinganes calls you “Bro”
Jacob always makes you remember how fun life is and how exciting the mysteries are
He reminds us all to activate that joy in our lives.
I love hearing Jacob on the Harpejji…that instrument plus his arrangements…heaven.
Awesome stream. Very rare I sit through an hour video on TH-cam. Two great humans
My two favourite people in the world.
Thank you so much for sharing this very pleasant conversation between two true musicians. (from Montréal, Canada)

It's an honor to have Great Keyboardist of Michael Jackson's Tours a long time, Congrats Jacob!
Watching these two greats geek out for an hour was one of the most enjoyable and entertaining experiences I’ve had in a long time 🔥
This was a sheer joy to watch. This is rare indeed a casual conversation with geniuses. I felt like a Fly on the wall taking it all in. And he's right.Jacob is from another planet.
Just the fact that you can listen to artists having these intricate conversations is crazy
Witnessing first-hand the genius mind of Jacob. So much in that brain or soul or whatever it is.
I have no idea about the music theory these two geniuses are talking about, but I just can't stop smiling and I feel better at listening already.
Me too
So polite and humble. Refreshing to see this when you're used to talented people who are nob heads
I mean you don't know how they truly feel. But they do seem humble in public.
@@Scriabin_fan good point. They could be nobs when the cameras are off but I get the feeling they are not, especially Jacob

This brought me so much joy. Thank you Jacob and Greg.
20:11 this is hilarious
Let me know when someone does the happy birthday cover of greg's arragement
Can anybody let me know what the technique at 33:26 is? Is it an arpeggio or is it called something else? Will appreciate the help :)
8:30 isn’t even a computer glitch it’s just Jacob being Jacob
So I'm the first to comment. This conversation is amazing! Thanks for posting.
These are so fun to watch 😊
“Cross Terrain Modulation” 🤩 Is he developing new terms to articulate what he is doing?? He's explaining his use of half sharps. 🤩
Greg, fuckin, Philliganes. When he compliments your music you know you've made it. The man has been involved with titans of the music industry.
What a trip watching this.. mutual respect between a legend and a legend in the making..
thank you again for posting these!

Wowwwww.... what an amazing discussion to witness!!!!
Great chemistry here.
I have socks older than you
I was just watching some Michael jackson's concert and I was enjoying greg Phillinganes performances lol
6:33
Come on jacob dont give us so much meme potential
1:40 oh my god this is adorable
thank you brah
never mind Patience: the LOVE for music & CARE for humanity (because That's what it comes down to) it takes to mix music for everyone's enjoyment, so that time isn't a factor! 🤯
hey thats the keboard guy from last train home
36:10 made me laugh, worth sitting the half hour prior to get there- this timestamp is for me to refer back to later. thx
I don't get it.. what is that a reference to?
@@maiiamakesthings his song titled "count the people"
Epic. The whole thing.
43:45 Wooooooooo
My favourite live ever

By about 33 minutes I was literally laughing so much my eyes were getting wet
Jacob and Louis Cole! Love Greg!
52:48 omg what happened to his face
I'd love to see a similar meet-up with Donald Fagen.
was very odd seeing the piano the wrong way around.. i felt dizzy..
damn,i feel so good watching this,even if i am from planet earth
A sane man trying to comprehend Insanity. xD
Jacob wont truly understand or value this moment until Greg is gone and people start celebrating him posthumously...
That Gospel band keys stank face came out at 44.00 lol!
Wonderful
38:43 Funny scream! LOL. Bamboo Alto Flute with a Saxophone reed on it.
There’s a musical revolution afoot and JC is leading the charge!
Legend
If you don‘t understand shit but you find it interesting, then you call it fascinating right?
❤️
14:00
Baer Baer Baer!
LOOOVE IT!!!
that was amaazing
44:22 I'd like to have that kind of "wrong idea"...😄
Game recognises game...
25:50 Intuitive Palette.
43:00
And there we have it. Jacob has nothing else to prove. This video is proof.
36:10 Jacob confirms his pansexuality
bro likes to talk about his sock age
24:11
6:22-6:40
38:49 che sbrego
“It doesn’t mean shit until you can make good music with it.” Wish he took his own advice more.
I love his music. I love pickles. My cousin hates pickles. Who cares. :)
No fair! They hands be reversed.
Well that was cute......
That C was actually a bit sharp to me 19:51
Bruh 43:47 is coooooold
i wonder: does he actually feel the gaines?
