I could write a thesis on the easter eggs. Of course my favorite is his mom Suzie on violin. I love how George Gershwin's face pops up right as JC quotes Fascinating Rhythm in his piano solo. The cameo by his Moroccan Gnawa friend Hamid El Kasri near the end, playing the wonky gnawa groove which is so similar to the wonky samba groove that permeates the arrangement. The hyperspeed resrospective of his entire career in the first few seconds. The backwards quote of Lionel's original, also in the beginning. How he plays one of his Grammy's as a percussion instrument right after the wiggle wiggle, in a song that itself went on to win a Grammy. Steve Vai and Quincy on chords. How the bass doubles the piano at the end of the super fast piano solo. How the Oakwood Aeolians join in in the mid song crescendo.The bear hat, given to him by Genevieve Artadi of Knower. The African drum he scratches early in the first verse as a shout out to his song Hideaway. If ur a producer you cannot miss his Logic Breakdown of this song, many secrets are unlocked.

I’m a Brazilian musician.Maybe one of the main thing that you guys missed is the “batucada”,a very popular percussion rhythm ,that’s used mostly during Carnaval(Mardy Gras)by Escolas de Samba(Samba Schools).It’s hard do explain.But Jacob not only got the essence of it,as he used it to perfection!!!It’s amazing how he could manage Brazilian’s blood tropical veins running.Excuse me for the rotten English.Love from Brazil.

That was STEVE VAI!! On the square with the chords… wow wow And was that Quincy F’n Jones at 7:31??!!

He wrote the orchestration for this on the fucking plane rhe day before they were recording. Richer scale musical genius. Such a beautiful fusion of classical training, jazz and creativity. Go Jacob.

There is a login session breakdown video by Jacob of this tune. It's great. He says he wrote the arrangement the night before the plane flight, wrote it in 6 hours, go to 5:00 of this video. kzread.info/dash/bejne/h3WBxZaEj7G-o6Q.html

I run a music night for our strata, mostly older folks. I use 8 speakers to fill the room with great sounds. Large tv screen. I played the original, Lionell's live version 15 years later which is also awesome. Then I play this video followed by JC's live version with the Markopole orchestra. People were fascinated, impressed, confused, but entirely happy. I was in Heaven!

I'm a pretty chill, laid back person rarely moved to strong emotional responses. For no obvious, strictly logical reason, watching the music video for this piece almost always brings me to tears. It's so beautiful.

Lifelong jazz pianist here. This is probably my 30th view and I still get tears when the music opens into the live crowd singalongs and the hundred JC voices. This is a magnificent opus, and nothing he has done since striles me as deeply - though there is some great stuff, none as powerful or moving as this.

My easter egg; the legendary Metropole Orkest (orchestra). Established shortly after World War II by Dutch government to bring people hope and entertainment. Ever since, it’s a leading orchestra in its genre, playing jazz, pop, classical, film/TV and world music and everything in between and around that. 20 Grammy nominations and they won 3.

Jacob Collier takes the music to a next level with respect to all genres. Absolutely wonderful! :-)

Oooh... "A musical gumbo." Hell yeah, man! Great description! The best description of Jacob I've heard is that he has completely surrendered to who he is. I love that about him.

He's got Take 6 with some great harmonies. This guy is going to be considered as one of the greats. He's an amazing musician. Plays all instruments. Heck...Quincy Jones is his Mgr. The guy hangs with him and Hancock. He goes to MIT and teaches music theory. Just found him today. Can't stop watch his videos. Lol Yes.....love this guy. 👍🏻

4:42 "Yo, man" says it all. I couldn't express it better myself. Those harmonies are KILLER!

I subscribed because of this video. Thank you MAN! 🙌🏼🙏👍🏽. My favorite part begins at. 1:03 when a Brazilian style carnival percussion rhythm starts... and it doesn’t end till the end. Love 💗 the whole thing.

I love the Artists Collaborations with the Metropole Orchestra... Soo much Fun.

The greatest legend of all in this video is Jacob Collier. The greatest musical genius in my lifetime and I'm pretty old.

Let's take a moment to appreciate the cutlery percussion. Clearly without it the whole song wouldn't work.

Quincy Jones is my favorite Easter Egg, for sure! Love, love, love Quincy Jones.

Listen to his live performance of Make Me cry Mahagony Session , or hallelujah (live on stream aid) performances , these are some of his most touching and raw performances. Absolutely stunning , yull love them.

I'm glad with all the talent he has he still remembers who set the table before him. Quincy too was a child genius... and opted to produce rather than just put together a band and cover other's material. This is both a collage and smorgas board of treats.

George Gershwin, Fascinating Rhythm

I've been away for a couple of days. Got home went to KZread and this great reaction is at the top of the homepage. What a treat. Exceptional reaction to an amazing version of this classic. Love both your comments and the positive energy with which you deliver them. This was a treat and I couldn't have asked for a better video to come home to. Thanks. You've got my sub but you deserve way more. They'll come.

His music is manic, there is just so much is happening. What are we supposed to call this- psychotic jazz for the youtube generation? I don't particularly love his voice, my brain can hardly process the chaotic energy of his music- but I can't stop listening to this little weirdo. Im obsessed.

One word...Genius!!!!

Best easter egg imo at 6:59 - Lionel Richie "I love it"

one day this amazing boy is going to die... and absurdly proactively I am already deeply saddened know just how huge a loff that is going to be for people.....

You can see why MUSICIANS want to work with him. Finally someone that they can work with and show their true talent. Someone that KNOWS music and complex chord changes. 😮

That bass at 7:08 wow

No one's mentioned yet that he quotes from ABC by the Jackson 5 at 7:22.
