Stian Carstensen is a multy musician. The accordion is his main. Just tell him a rhythm; he will do it, from his experience through many years with bulgarian musicians. Just check him out. Not a coincidence that Collier found him. Or vice versa...
“It’s not the notes you play, it’s the notes you don’t play.” Miles Davis. Too many notes (for me). Heres a live version by Pat Metheny who composed the tune: th-cam.com/video/7kobWJm761U/w-d-xo.html
As a jazz musician myself, I couldn’t agree more. Compositions need to be explored and reinterpreted for different audiences and generations - and no: it would be extremely naive of anyone to consider an original version as a ‘correct version’ - it is merely an ‘original version’ or ‘first version’, as you say. We live in a free world and music evolves, particularly in Jazz: through reinvention. Jazz can indeed be both complex and intricate, I agree. However, as I wrote in the original comment; there are simply too many notes ‘for me’ on this occasion, bearing in mind the beauty of the original composition. I don’t think ostensibly ‘shredding’ Metheny’s piece in a jam session pays either respect or due regard to the composer or the subtetly of the original composition - in my humble opinion - which is why I included it. But, oy vey - what do I know?🙏☀️🙏
@@eyelidman09 I’m very familiar with the original so couldn’t agree more. It’s a superbly well structured piece of music that takes you on a journey which ends where it started. I like Jacob Collier but this just sounds like a load of pretentious crap and, just because you can play fast doesn’t mean you (always) should! Write an original piece of music if you want to create a stress inducing cacophony of noise, but don’t do it to a classic like James. And that is my final answer 🙉

I love how the accordion sounds like an organ, though they are both reed instruments.
Sort of sounds like it might have a MIDI output to a synth.

@@eyelidman09 even the concept of a completely original piece seems I'll defined to me.
