Jacob is the Mozart and Beethoven of our time.....pay attention, learn from him, study him and remember him - we are so lucky he exists in our lifetimes. 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.

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.

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. 14 year old danish kid out.

@@toshirobozdogan2207 I think you might be mistaken with what the comment was originally. Birder was saying that he often got the song with 1 second remaining out of his 10 seconds. So he was 1 second away from failing a lot of the time. Because he was going into so much detail with the jazz arranging and finding the obscure songs like with the word 'Bad' for example

As someone who has never really understood music- I started crying when he began playing Stevie Wonder. I recognized the songs, because my grandpa listened to him. And for some reason, I felt like Stevie, Grandpa, and Jacob were all feeling the same feeling together; and I was part of it too.

My favorite bit: the unexpectedly beautiful vocals at 11:01 which are quickly followed at 11:09 by that wonderful whirl of an ending, just pure fun (especially that last note). Second place is that sudden joyously wild glissando at 16:22, but honestly the entire performance of that tune is sunshine in and of itself, notably 16:33 & 17:00. This kid doesn't just play music, he IS music. There's no other way to describe it. He exudes such pure & inspired creative wonder; that golden soul illuminates every note & word.

The most impressive thing here is how Jacob can just start singing a song in perfect key. You can pull up any of the songs he sings and the key is bang on.
