A lot of the really tight harmonies are actually all Jacob, the keyboard on top of the grand piano is a harmonizer that modulates whatever he is singing to the corresponding notes. It caught me off guard the first time I heard this too!
That's awesome! Thanks for that info!
@@ShawkaReacts The harnonizer keyboard was developed for him at MIT when he did masterclass there in his early 20's. He uses it in live performances now. There are about a dozen other brilliant songs and videos from the one guy in my lifetime who I think of as a Mozartian genius in numerous ways as multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and composer/arranger with unworldy harmonies, jazz chops as well as real humanity and a heart. He quickly won 4 Grammys but he also does esoteric stuff and music theory including his use of poly-rhythms and microntonality since he as perfect pitch. You could spend dozens of hours and still just barely scratch the surface.
I've only know about him for 3 months and saw with with the NSO in DC. Best concert I've seen in 40 years in any genre and he used several there including some Bach, a gospel chorale and leading the audience in a chorale. He uses Logic X Pro to overdub and in his first two albums he also created and edited the videos himself including covers of Flintstones and Moon River.

The bass player, Michael League, is the bandleader and composes a lot of the music. You're in for a real treat if you keep digging into Snarky Puppy's catalog. Great reaction!
Thanks for the info! I definitely enjoyed them!
@@ShawkaReacts Be careful -they're a rabbit hole...and a group that a majority agree is the finest instrumental group/collective currently on the planet. Can't wait to see them live in Feb.
Just saw them last month in Amsterdam, it was amazing!
The genre IS Snarky Puppy
If I could choose one musical performance to witness in person it would be this one.
Geez, so many directions to go after this...
The drummer (there are two! three on a future album!) with the shaved head is Larnell Lewis. His "audition" with Snarky Puppy happened when he was called the day before a series of studio concert/recordings in the Netherlands when their regular drummer had passport issues and couldn't make it. Sort of a "Crap, we don't have a drummer, who can we call? Larnel!" situation.
He learned the entire album "We Like It Here" on the plane ride there, had a couple of rehearsals the next morning, and then started playing for audiences and recording engineers. Check out "Lingus" or "Shofukan" for that.
Lingus has one of the all-time great keyboard solos by Cory Henry, also dueling sax/trumpet solo. Shofukan has one of the best trumpet solos I've ever heard... played by one of their many keyboard players! **mindblown**
The bass player, Michael League, is the band leader, as I think you've deduced.
Jacob Collier is the king of harmony and thinks in ways very few musicians are even capable of, including not being restricted to 12-note scales. Check out his cover of "Moon River" sometime, and, if you dare, his full Logic session breakdown of it. There's a harmonic series in that that gradually works its way, completely seamlessly by using Just Intonation instead of Equal Temperament, up about 2/3 of a step through a 16-bar section. Like just mind-blowing stuff.
In this song in particular, that keyboard on top of the piano is a custom instrument built for him by a grad student at MIT when he taught a week-long masterclass there.
So no, Jonah from Dirty Loops definitely does not live-harmonize with himself. Nobody else has one of those. Just Jacob. ;) Jonah does it the normal way, recording himself many times and mixing it.
More Jacob Collier, please!
Really enjoyable breakdown, I've heard this performance a few times and you pointed out some stuff I'd never noticed like the sousaphone putting in work in the background and those added 9ths in the vocal harmony
Appreciate the comment! Great music like this deserves repeated listenings because you always discover something new!
To add to the 14/4 comment, it’s the way we perceive it in so many different permutations that gives it an ALMOST 4/4 feel…when you mention the “2&4” crashes, that’s one example. But the way Jacob composed the vocal hook for the chorus makes your brain think it’s in another meter as well. In actuality, I think the tune is in 7/4 (one bar structure rather than a full 14 beats as one bar) but 14/4 works too! It’s all sorcery and magic. These musicians in the room are the best in the world right now and so inspiring for those of us who are older and were waiting for the new generation to kick our asses!! Keep diving in to Snarky Puppy and Jacob Collier. A wealth of inspired music making and playing.
Some points of interest: this song is funky and in 14/4… truly an accomplishment to still be funky in such a complex time signature.
Jacob’s keyboard is a 1 of 1 keyboard he acquired through a collaboration with MIT’s media dept. They contacted him after seeing his early videos and offered to work with him to create something to help him make creating his compositions easier. The keyboard has a mic input which allows him to choralise his voice (in his tambre) over as many keys as he can hold down. The MIT project manager and chief developer worked as JC’s road manager for the subsequent tour with that keyboard, assumably because he was the only one qualified to repair it should it go down.
Michael League (the bass player) is the band leader and co-arranger.
This is by far and away the best analytic reaction vid to this piece to date. Intelligent and informed. Space. yes! This piece is like an inflating universe of feeling. Thank you. Its a Jacob Collier composition arranged by him and Michael League. Michael has great powers of being able to absorb other creatives' ideas and build on them. Look at this album's track with Becca Stevens.
I would love a reaction from you about a mostly improv'd Jacob Collier / Chris Thile take on the Beatles' "Drive My Car" at the 10-30pm show at the Blue Note. Not Funk but rollercoaster Fun.
Great job! If you can check out Jacobs ALL NIGHT LONG and be prepared for awesomeness….. it’s no joke.
Did you notice the 14/4 in the shout choruses? I recommend that everone take a deep dive into Jacob Coller, he is so multi-faceted and defies genre and is just incredible. Jacob wrote this tune.
I didn't. I'll definitely go back and listen for it though!
You've stumbled on a ridiculous amount of musical talent. You can basically pick any of the players in this room and go and find a song from their respective channels/bands and be blown away. Jacob Collier. Michael League. Cory Henry. Robert "Sput" Searight (Ghost-Note). Big Ed. It's kind of ridiculous. If you're looking for some greasy funk check out Ghost-Note 's Phat Bacc. Love to see a reaction to this one!

It's extraordinary. Jacob is obviously a prodigy - find 'Fix You' - just by Cory Henry's reaction. Cory is, obviously one of the greatest keyboardists on the planet; see him play live at Namm with Nick Semrad, or his world-famous solo in Lingus.
Sitting next to him is Bill Laurance, one of the best piano players on the planet. His performance in The Curtain is the most exquisite thing you'll ever hear. Also Justin Stanton, one of the best keyboard players *and* trumpet players on the planet wrote Outlier - featuring the best sax performance you'll ever hear, featuring another member of the band, Bob Reynolds. Find Bob's Can't Wait For Perfect.
You can see where I'm going with this. Also Sput and Larnell Lewis, extraordinary drummers - see Larnell's City Lights and the entire We Like It Here set, mostly What About Me? World-class (he learned the entire set on the plane with no drum kit). What About Me? Features Bob Lanzetti on guitar, a virtuoso performance unmatched, anywhere.
Talking of guitarists, you'll know of Mark Lettieri, he wrote Trinity, possibly Snarky Puppy's best song. See him feature on a live version of Bob Reynolds' Can't Wait For Perfect, also playing live with Michael League on bass at NAMM.
Talking of Michael League, you just saw him. It's his band. Watch him own the space in The Curtain and generally anchor Snarky Puppy in every single performance they do. He's the strength of the pillar, truly.
I could go on - Maz, Bobby Sparx, Shaun Martin, JT.... (!)
Snarky Puppy are a rabbit hole as a commenter already said. Enjoy
Very nice insight...
