JC recently revealed, during a logic session breakdown of this that you should check out, that he did this whole arrangement in 6 hours, overnight before his flight to meet with the orchestra. SIX HOURS.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe he talked about writing the arrangement for the Metropole orchestra in 6 hours in the night before he needed to travel to amsterdam to record it with them. But correct me if I'm wrong.

Jacobs even said there's stuff in his head his hands haven't caught up with yet. 🤯

6:47 made me laugh - how I feel every time Jacob takes it to that extra dimension!

Jacob is a generational talent who is playing and composing at a genius level at such a young age. It's a truly remarkable thing to witness.

There are musicians like us and then there is Jacob Collier. Jacob is not of this planet. Not only does he do everything you see in the video he's in total control and can explain very note, every progression, and why he did what he did. I love the quote from "Fascinatin' Rhythm" at the end of that incredible piano solo. Shows he's in CONTROL not just hitting any random keys. Great reaction, Marc! Just subscribed.

That reaction to the piano solo is exactly what I felt

I went to see him Live, best musical experience of my life.

We had similar reactions . I shed more tears and less words . I have been a musician for 37 years and hearing Jacob, has made me start all over again . I can now play bass and keys but it’s all in it’s early stages . I have been blessed with melody and some orchestral ability but now , it’s time to step up and grow with the tree , instead of picking from it .

THANKS. That was great. Music is love!

Marc McMillon. Three years later and at least.... 20 times (at least!) seeing your reaction of this video over the years still to this day make me so so happy. It's a tsunami of impressions coming out of Jacob and all his fellow musicians in this version. And on top of the wave this reaction from you Marc. Priceless energy boost that is! Thanks a bunch from Sweden!

"It's not human fingers" is very good.

I keep coming back to absorb more of JC's video and each time hear more amazing shit. Still haven’t been able follow the harmonies in his transitions, but give my brain some time…maybe. Until then, I revisit all the amazing earworms in it anytime I want….so good.

For many years i thought that Bobby McFerrin is a Musical Genius ( which he definitely is ). And then i found Jacob Collier.

Looooove that reaction! I've seen this video about 100 times, and try to wach once or twice a day just for my spirit! Loved how you just soaked it up, mesmerized and astounded. And yeah, "what the heck was that!" Right? And yeah, something beyond music, or maybe more in the middle of The Music than we're used to hearing. He's another level, imo. Thanks for this great reaction video!

Right where you took your headphones off is about when I hit pause too. He's just unbelievably brilliant. I am so glad to see him getting grammy level, album of the year level respect.

I was ADDICTED to JC's cut of "All Night Long" for MANY months.. SERIOUSLY! And...I tried to direct all my friends to it! One word: BADASS. Jacob Collier is my current musical hero, AND I've been listening to TAKE 6 for over 30 years! I go tell folks about BOTH of these phenomena, and hardly anyone has heard of either of these folks (except some musicians), amazingly. These 7 musicians are VALUABLE, in my humble opinion, AS WELL AS THEIR COLLEAGUES AND MUSICIANS THAT CAME BEFORE THEM. My favorites of the 20 th century: MILES DAVIS, JIMI HENDRIX and FRANK ZAPPA. In the 21st century: TAKE 6, Jacob Collier, and all their assorted guests. KUDOS to you, Marc.

There are only 2 possible reactions to Jacob Collier, you either jump up in joy and tears or you shrivel up in a corner scared for your life.

Don't fight it, let it wash over you like a gentle wave!

Truly a masterpiece of arranging and playing. His mind at a young age has seemed to have heard all styles of music before he was born and added it to his own vision. Love it!

The amount of beauty that is contained here is Inspiring.

Love your reaction.. I had tears the first time I heard this..it’s so good😹

Yoooo when you actually had to stop the video and put your head down LOL!! 😂👏😅😅👏 Same reaction i had watching this for the first time for sure. Jacob is most certainly an incarnation from the Future of Music showing us all The Way... 🙌

I so love your reactions. You just bring it and let us wander in and appreciate. Great stuff.

Your reactions are always such a joy to watch. Just a delight. Thank you.

The arrangement of this song took him 6 hours... SIX FREAKINGN HOURS MAAANNNN!!!

THAT is what a GRAMMY looks like. 🤣 As many times as I've watched it separately, I watch you...you nail every reaction!😂😂👍👍👍

The absolute best reaction video I have watched 😂 👏🏼

Bro, your reactions are the absolute BEST 🤣🤣

To answer: Yes, that was Take 6. That was also the Metropole Orkestra. This was completing the circle for Jacob in a sense because Take 6 was one if his early influences in harmonization (along with Stevie Wonder) and they were impressed enough with him they agreed to perform on this (and a few other) songs of his, i.e. Moon River (which you should also listen to) and its 1200+ lines of composition in Logic. This musical genius never fails to make me regret ever flexing my comparitively feeble talent as a musician.

Am already in love with ya reaction and Jacob’s songs brov. Tell J he has to give me some of his extra human portion to at least sing and sound like him. You just exposed me to ma mentor. Let’s see how he will fine tune ma damaged voice to be its best. Am really up for this, bro. One love

I felt the same way you did when you took the headphones off. He's unreal!

'What the heck was that?' says you! I felt exactly the same when I first watched this video, it just beguiles you beyond words, this boy is so clever it's almost hard to describe what happens when you listen to him. Try 'As' with Becca Stevens, and softly melt down in a cloud of sound and music and love

I have to say....I really love your channel....keep it up....

The faces you are making while watching are priceless!

Quincy jones and Steve Vai holding up the notes being sang is next level cool.

Amazing omg 😮

This was awesome. Pretty much my first reaction to him!!!

essa musica é absurda I had to replay the piano solo like 75 times ... .its... absurd

His unbelievable talent is undeniable, and his ideas are all over the place. In due time, he'll tone it down to the basic elements which would define his unique musical persona. In the meantime, I think he should do more jazz. His own generation can't keep up with the harmonies, changes, jazzy breaks, etc...despite the pop choices he makes. Too complicated for them, but good for us who get it.

Literally had the same reaction. He’s beyond us!

One of the things that makes Jacob stand out is that he's commanding the attention of classically-trained professional musicians, which is very hard to do. Even Quincy Jones understands that it would be a crime to get in the way of letting Jacob be Jacob.
