Quincy Jones was featured several times in the video. When you have a genius like Quincy calling Jacob a genius, you wonder what “genius” even is. Jacob will move music forward and go down in musical history as one of the masters of time.

There is so much positive energy coming out from jacob collier music... it always brings joy to me when I hear it...

Master of all trades, jack of none

Jacob does everyhing. Filming, composing, orchestral arragement... Everything.

Love this video his mum plays the violin totally awesome

When I listen to Jacob Collier, sometimes it just breaks me. It's just so good, so creative, he is clearly an absolute genius. He is a 1 in a billion talent

I understand what you are saying about Jacob's voice tone, it's unusual but it's one of the many things I love about his music. I'm attracted to uniqueness and I think he really makes his voice work in his music, especially his originals such as "Time To Rest Your Weary Head", "Hideaway", or "Make Me Cry". Maybe it's because I don't have previous versions by other artists in my head? I do understand how people can not be a huge fan of it though.

Jacob Collier's one of the most talented people in modern jazz and jazz fusion right now... definitely a deep rabbit hole, his music.

Not only has he won a Grammy for this, the Orkest Metropole are here with Jules Buckley. Not only Take 6, but their alma mater, The Oakwood Aeolians are on, voted the World's best Choir again in the World Choir Festival in Wales 2019. Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock, Jonah from Dirty Loops and so many others in this video. It is special.

I think just like you. Take 6 is peeaaaakkk!!! I'm extremely happy to see someone else who actually appreciates and recognizes them. I love them.

Jacob not singing these arrangements???? All the vocal harmonies all the arrangements everything is predicated off of Jacob singing. His vocal Licks and improvisational ideas are incredible as a singer. He has a style the same way Harry Connick Michael Bublé Norah Jones and any of the other signature singers. The longer one listens to him the more you’ll understand the subtleties and even the incredible singing abilities he has over many other singers who at first glance you would think were the better singers. I know your comments are about his tone even that is so different and unique. He’s so next level at times it’s hard to even comprehend. But as he’s been continuing to do it and no doubt will be moving out even more in the future. He’ll just keep blowing people away totally out of the water. And his singing is going to be part of it. It’s really easy to see that he could have a career to doing movie soundtracks producing other artists all of those things no doubt they’re going to happen. he will also be able to be a solo artist himself as he proves over and over again. He’s unstoppable!

Dude. Holy. Cats. That was just amazing. How have I never heard this?! Thank you for featuring this.

Please do moon river next dude! It blows my mind everytime! He hits some chords and takes you to a whole different planet.

I agree with you about his singing tone, especially as a classically trained singer myself. It definitely bothered me at first, but his music is so good, and now that I’ve listened to so much of it I’ve gotten used to it and it’s just part of what makes Jacob Jacob.

Jacob produces all his own music in Logic Pro in his home studio. And yes, he conceives of and edits his own videos. What a mind!!! Oh, and I like his voice. He has remarkable range and plays his vocal instrument with as much skill as he plays other instruments.

The first time I heard him sing I was a little taken aback. BUT, and this is a big but, his voice quickly grew on me and now I love, love, love it. Especially the vocal acrobatics he does and the two and a half octave range. Maybe the odd tone that he has is easier to blend with all the odd chords that he performs.

I understand the tone difference thing, but you know what I love? I LOVE the fact that he's owning it and doing it. I also feel ( could be wrong) that to him his voice is an instrument he uses to get out what he hears in his head. I think in Moon River he laid down 5000 tracks of vocals. Can you even imagine trying to convey that to someone else to do for you? Gah! As a creative myself, I totally get needing to link what is in your head to the outside!

When you're good enough write the music for Take 6 as your backup singers, you are genius level.

Already impressed that you have an open mind

I definitely recommend you listen to Jacob's version of Moon River. You'll hear what an amazing range he has and that he chooses to make this hollow kind of sound for his solo lines over other more centered sounds that he uses for example in the basslines of this song.
