  • We need two hands to count the number of instruments he can play, and just as many to list the genres that Grammy Award winning artist #JacobCollier has mastered. On today's episode of #SongAssociation, the London-born arranger, composer, and overall musical genius graced our studios with a taste of his prowess. Tune in (for our longest episode yet!), as Collier sings "Moon River," shares the origins of his Daniel Caesar collaborations, and schools us on the folk tunes that have inspired him most.
    For more #JacobCollier, visit: www.jacobcollier.com.
    Stay tuned for #Djesse Vol. 3.

  • @moonlitegram
    @moonlitegram 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2002

    14:31 is perhaps the most telling part of Jacob Collier. He dips down and plays a note with his nose because he ran out of fingers. And for those of us watching, we expect that to be a little joke hes throwing in there to be funny and we expect some kind of smirk or acknowledgement of that fact from him afterwards. But there's no reaction to it on his part because he wasn't doing it for comedic effect. He just knew he wanted that note in there and knew he was out of fingers. So the nose was just this natural reaction from there to get the sounds he had in his head out into the world.

He should be known - tell others what this incredible musician can do. He is a musical genius who knows he also has the power to change not only anything in music but how people feel about themselves, our society etc. with his messages of peace, love and caring for others. He is truly unique and important to learn from. All people, not just musicians, should know about him and what he does and how he creates. Amazing indeed. What a brain! Most of us literally only use about 10% of our brain - can't say that about Jacob Collier.

      NHaezer in jazz many would say that it sound weird or bad. In reality he’s improvising on a high level, using complex chord voicings and tritone substitutions. To make something sound “good” you can play something “bad” before the “good” chord to emphasize the feeling if resolution.

      M1dorin he don’t have a level of complexity such as negative harmonies. There are much proofs that he composed much things when he was a kid but he did the melodies while his father “completed “it so, why wouldn’t he be able to be compared? Jacob is compared to him for his talent. Mozart isn’t the one musicians and theorist thinks as the goat (this is Bach btw)
