The thing is he probably had spent more than the average unseen/undocumented practice time and that made him reach this amount of skill. Same with designers, they don't price you high because they did the design a good design quick, but because they spent years to reach that skill point where they can design well quick.

Jacob in a musical conversation with himself and we were allowed to listen.

To the people wondering how he "plays" the notes that he isn't touching: he is using a piano called a Yamaha Disklavier which has a feature where you can record and mechanically playback notes you played before. So he has recorded one (or more) parts beforehand and is accompanying the mechanical playback in this video.

Giovanni Farina Collier is a natural showman and he understands that if you want to take the fastest road to becoming a superstar, most of the time you get there with outlandish bells and whistles and not with the actual substance of your art (relying on artistic substance alone is a much longer and less certain road to fame)... Collier's music has a lot of substance but his act is also very flashy, that's why he's got millions of views instead of laboring in relative obscurity like most jazz musicians.

AS I SAID I'm not saying that he has no talent or that isn't a showman! I'm saying that some comments (especially when they came from music specialized youtuber) are synonyms of ignorance. what jacob is doing is to rely on these people that are easily facinable. that's why you have the harmonizer, the ghost piano and the negative harmony. "let's talk about me good or bad the importance is that they're talking about me" If he would be more simple, exposing his talent without "escamotages" he can be accepted more than he is now. what he has to understand is that he doesn't need to be "spectacular" miles, hancock, metheny and all the great musician has never been "spectacular" because their music was enough.

I know nothing about music, about chords, melodies, sharps, flats, negative harmonies, or super-ultra-hyper-mega-meta lydians. But I've been around long enough, and listened to enough music, to realize there's something magical about Mr. Jacob Collier. He's magnetic, and mesmerizing in his capacity to explore outside the lines. So inspiring.

I’m a writer and I really can type fast on a keyboard, effortlessly. My fingers just know where the keys are and all I have to think about is the words and the grammar. Jacob possess a similar (tougher to develop) skill but in the music domain. The piano is his keyboard while the chords, scales and the complete music theory is his language and grammar. The fascinating thing is that he can read and write this complex language as easy as you and me can read and write English. Of course this enables him to store music in his mind similarly to how we store stories. Now as a writer it’s easy for me to re-tell a story simply by accessing it from my brain and then quickly typing the words using my keyboard. Jacob can do the same but with music, which is a fascinating skill to posses.

The choreography, especially the mic drop at the end, makes this performance one of the most memorable for me. Your boundless creativity is astonishing, Jacob!

nah, he's not as widely recognized among the masses. Winning Grammy's was because he submitted his music and they, being musically intelligent, voted for him. But he's not a popular artist.

JACOB BUSTED!! I always suspected your were supernatural, please be more careful not to show your invisible hands in the future, it’s unfair to us, normal people 😉

Jacob Collier went to my school (the Purcell School). last year he came and gave a masterclass and I was completely blown away and have loved watching his videos ever since. He is such and inspiration :)

Soooo confession. I haven’t told anyone about Jacob Collier since I’ve discovered him because I want to keep him to myself.😬😂 He’s so special.

I haven't told anyone because I still want them to think I have talent. Jacob makes everybody look like hacks.

Imagine Jacob being born an octopus, his music would be on another level!

(from not a typical "boomer") Singing and dancing heals your body and keeps you young........as a woman at 71 who lives alone and in pain from OA and a rare autoimmune disease that destroys muscle tissue, and as a former massage therapist, I am grateful to have discovered this embodiment of pure joy. I have added his talent to my repertoire of healing techniques to start my day - listening to him, singing and dancing as a gift to myself.......thanks so much, Jacob! - you help me every day ❤❤❤

This dude really is a genius. This is so clean. His ears and timing are so on point. He is an a row with all the really big cats. And so young. He'll do some crazy stuff in the future.

The old gods are dead but we are not lost. That decade has its genius. Thank you so much Jacob. You bring light.

We'll stare at June Lee's transcription while this song is IMPOSSIBLE to play, with our normal piano.

does it exist?? i need to see it!!!

I'm smiling goofyly like a thirteen years old ....this music is just a totally new dimension

I just wish MJ could have been standing g there, just to see the delight on his face whilst Jacob played.

This sounds like Michael Jackson making love to a piano in a falling elevator with a little bit of the sims soundtrack in it. Strangely just what i was looking for. Simply amazing like anything you do Jacob. Love you man!!!

I love the fact that he's covered so many MJ songs. Michael Jackson would have been so blown away!

Happy heavenly birthday MJ!! Jacob’s Bday gift to MJ!!!

His decisions, improvisational and not, seem to me so generous, precise as if he were reinventing music, its rules, its power to manifest. We are witnessing something the world had not in centuries probably (not merely a virtuoso) and we are thankful.

Dear Jacob With your tireless soul, you give the piano its true calling to show life in living facets. Giving a legendary piece of music and history a new modern face and glory. You are a person blessed by God who brings smiles and wonder to millions of people. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

One of the most gifted musicians I have ever seen 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🔥

This is a visual interpretation of your musical genius, music plays itself through you

this guy.....like he is not even a human

There are some musicians who might try something like this and it would some how, some way end up feeling gimmicky. I have watched and listened to this video so many times and am always blown away by just how joyously musical and wonderfully creative it is. Jacob has taken the Yamaha technology and used it to real, brilliant musical purpose. Thank you Jacob.

The more Jacob I hear, the more I fall in love with the timbre of his voice. Just one more string to his bow!

Jacob its so deeply emotional,all his songs give me a vibe that no one can. Great song and great performance

its physically, mentally, AND spiritually IMPOSSIBLE to be disappointed from your music.

It's a gloomy Sunday and I feel good, thanks to a miracle called Jacob Collier.

I wish I could have an invisible Jacob playing alongside me when I play :(

Mesmerized and my jaw is still on thr floor. Also love this iconic song by MJ

Please JC, please put this on spotify. I need to listen to it several hundred times.

We are lucky to live in the time of Jacob Collier. He is a gift!!!

I EVEN LIKED THE VIDEO BEFORE I HEAR THE MUSIC

I only just found this guy last night. And I have lost count of how many instruments I've seen him play.

He really is other-worldly.

Jacob + Disklavier, a match made in heaven!

I am ceaselessly amazed by the depth of Jacob's musicality. Yeah, he's got remarkable chops, but it's his rhythmic and harmonic choices that make him so fun/interesting to listen to. The reharm on the middle 8 was wonderful -- interesting without sounding forced. It's usually not worth messing with MJ -- and DSTYGE is my fave MJ song *ever* -- but Jacob just killed this. 🔥

3:35 the way he just sits back while his hand does all the work for him is amazing

I‘ve seen videos where he‘s talking about not having any chops. I don‘t know what jacob with more chops would look like, but I imagine my brain couldn‘t handle it

Just 'discovered' his music today, and I've literally subscribed/unsubscribed about 5 times during the day. His music is too challenging for me to enjoy in a traditional sense, but his genius is such that I just can't stop listening.

Gosh, I bet you just love having a piano that sings back to you. This is delightful to watch

You're from a completely different future music era, Jacob. A true genius. You don't just play virtuostically, your imagination and versatility go beyond the sky. Never heard anybody like you. The melody is always lurking there between all of that surreal harmony. How do you hear that stuff??? Bloody brilliant. x

It's really nice to hear him lay into a groove like this

Yamaha: “So we’re trying to market this new model” Jacob: “Just give me the whole ad budget.”

He's got rhythm, he's got music.. who could ask for anything more?

Godamnit this guy’s the absolute master. As of today he’s my fav musician. Nice voice. Complete mastery of music. He has mastered it all. Theory, rhythm, style, improv, music creativity and feel.

Me too. “Genius” disappeared in my dictionary after seeing him. When I’m in my dying bed, I want his music in my ears.😂

I always stand up and give him a standing ovation when I tune into Jacob the Great!

Ooh- ooooooo!!!!!!!! You sent me flying there man!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rachmaninoff and his ampico roll recordings, Jacob and his YAMAHA Collieroll recordings. MORE MORE MORE!!

DJ Khaled to piano: Congrats you just played yourself !

I am always so excited when you upload a new video, dude this is amazing, such a great groove and that piano is crazy, it's like magic, the keys moving by their own, amazing, fits your magical music. Dude I love this. Please upload more. Please.

Keep coming back to this - such an imaginative use of the instrument I've been playing all my life (but never like this!)

Its pop, its rock, its jazz.., for pities sake its classical. This is a new kind of bigger music, a new kind of art, eliciting so many unexpected emotions in quick succession. But like the very best of jazz, it takes the stuff that seems it might blow musical integrity apart, turns it on its head, and shows it making dynamite emotional sense. An awesome piece of theatre too. (And the best rhythmic heading nodding ever.)

Jacob Jacob Jacob Jacob...There are NO words to describe this and to describe you! Let’s just leave it at that.

My brain understands 1/3 of what’s going on here lol, Jacob !! Wow

Man a music genius

I'm a simple man. I see Jacob Collier and I like.

I want to like this a million times

The only thing missing from this amazing performance is a pop-filter!
