I don't know how many times I've checked back into this clip, studying tiny phrases over and over and marveling at the collaborative genius between Jacob and Mathis. We have here a post-doctoral course in collective improvisation in a single hour. Mathis is new to me here, but I've been following Jacob for five years since I stumbled on his Looper demo and recommending his work to every fellow musician I meet. Listen to JC's turnaround at the end of the bridge of "Body and Soul" at 25:57. His descending left hand underlines a modulation from C through Db/B, Gb/Bb and Bb7 to the chorus's last 8 in Db. It's classical in quality, and happens so smoothly under Mathis' playful upper voice it makes the head swim. Enough pseudo-critic's chordal analysis. If you've not experienced the entire clip, take it in sections, realizing that all the communication happened through music, not words. There's a lesson here for all of us.

This is my first comment on KZread. I came to say thanks, Aimee. This is freaking magical. Also came to encourage people to go out and be a part of the live music scene. It's so critical to connect with musicians and the community to grow. Especially at the Blue Note where it seems like stuff like this happens all the time: my last visit to it was to see Herbie and Chick do a duet set, which was bonkers. Stayed after hours and saw Cory Henry in an impromptu duet with some college kid doing a late night set. And everyone was nice. Watch live music like your musical life depends on it (I think it does).

Consider how easily language comes out of you to express thoughts. You don't have to consider the construction of individual words as you're speaking them, you likely hardly have to consider the construction of your typical sentence. You've put in a ton of time nailing down each of those aspects of language via Hooked on Phonics and grammar lessons for your entire development, so now all you really have to think about is the intent behind the sentence, what idea you're trying to communicate. These guys have put in those kinds of hours towards mastering connecting notes into chords or melodic fragments (like connecting phonemes into words) by practicing scales and arpeggios, and connecting chords and melodic fragments into phrases (words into sentences) by studying the grammar of music: studying and practicing harmonic progression, voice leading, melodic antecedent/consequent structure, and just actively listening to a ton of people "speak" music who are not only fluent, but incredibly eloquent in this language of the emotions. It really is like learning a language, but a little more like learning 50 languages, given how wildly varied musical genres can be, but perhaps 50 Romance languages, given how much overlap there is in the ideas that underpin most Western genres.

Noah this is really late, but I’m gonna have to disagree with you. As a singer and a pianist myself, I find Jacob’s singing to be good, but not extraordinary. Even if he doesn’t have the best classical training, his knowledge of theory and the depth of the way he knows his way around the piano is virtuosic.

I am still watching this, and never have I seen anything like this before. Thank you so much, Aimee, for capturing this incredible and spontaneous conversation between two music geniuses.

Having such good fun as musicians and completely enjoying each other's presence and being in the moment. There's something so touching and beautiful about it.

Absolutely mindblowing! Can't believe this has actually happened. A towering, virtually limitless (neither by narrative joy nor by virtousity) musical conversation.

Ugh everything about this is so amazing. My favourite part of the whole video is starting at 19:33 ish Mathis quote's Debussy's Claire de Lune, and then at around 19:44 Jacob quotes it as well.

Reminds me of Jackson Brown's Load out And Maurice William's Stay.
