I second this request, Jacob solo at the piano is just a whole other type of comfort. And like you said, the rawness of the recording just adds to the effect. I also love his Make Me Cry (Mahogany Session) for this exact reason.
Jacob's arrangement of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" is incredible in a different way from his live performances. It's in his arrangements that you can most fully experience his deep and inventive chord changes. "Bridge Over Troubled Water" is a great showcase for this.
I should have clarified, because I see there are actually some 'Bridge Over Troubled Water" live performances from Jacob on RUclips too, but the version I'm referring to is the studio version released on his Djesse Vol. 4 album. It's the completely opposite end of the spectrum from his live performances in that it is fully composed and constructed from many takes, each phrase recorded separately and layered. It showcases "composer"/"arranger" Jacob much more, and "performer" Jacob a bit less, though he still sings all the backing tracks. The singing from the leads is spectacular, so there will still be plenty to comment on from a vocal perspective.
Yes! I am going to the London concert too. Bringing my wife and son, think it will change their lives! Saw him in Bristol with my wife and it was like nothing I'd seen before.
So authentic and real ... very very nice. I've played 4 instruments and appreciate the absolutely unique experience that Jacob provides, but you do as well by your authenticity. Thank you again.
Every time he begins to conduct the audience as a choir, and I understand that immediate uniting of human spirit, will, and mass communication… I’ve become teary-eyed. Jacob is unwittingly or wittingly, making people work together with ease. He’s doing something that politics can’t achieve and religion has dropped the ball on for millennia. I’m not putting Jacob on a saintly pedestal, but I think that people that want to change the world should take note and find ways that cause people to want to cooperate instead of trying to make them do what you want. When you’re already doing something amazing, people want to participate. ❤❤❤❤❤
I'd love to see you react to more of Jacob's music! His talent knows no bounds. Maybe listen to his arrangements of 'The Flintstones' theme song, Stevie Wonder's 'Don't You Worry Bout A Thing', 'Moon River' and/or 'All Night Long'...And those are just the very tip of the iceberg!
Jacob's progressions are often surprising, even in his re-harmonizing of familiar songs. This was relatively simple, but the recurring Sus-2 served to add his trademark uniqueness. And why oh why does his audience involvement ALWAYS make me cry??? 🙏
I saw Jacob live a few days ago and got to experience a crowd of 8,000 people singing with him. It was unbelievable live. One thing about the crowd for context, I'd guess that 80% of them have had some musical training (myself included). I'm not sure that just any musician could do that kind of thing
Thank you so much for bringing this to every one of us. I'm not a religious person, but sending prayers and all the best to you, your family and your father.
Vocal coach John Henny also just reacted to this video and he said a lot of the same things that you are saying - that everybody can sing. He said something very interesting, that before recorded music, everyone sang - at home, at church, wherever - but once recorded music came along we got used to listening to professional singers and it became "they can sing. I can't sing." ruclips.net/video/W34CvrTUGqM/видео.htmlsi=IINs7TOYAebi7yHB&t=715
Greetings, just wanted to bring to your attention, if you see this, that Jacob has recently posted the official video of the the first live performance of Bridge Over Troubled Water with both Tori Kelly and John Legend included. I think you'd enjoy it greatly- however, I'd definitely recommend listening to the album version first on Djesse Vol. 4, since it sets the stage for how impressive the live performance really is...
To get familiar with dodie's voice :) ruclips.net/video/YicG50VjWIg/видео.html or from the same performance with Jacob: ruclips.net/video/RHx-GHbV-CE/видео.html Oh, or her tiny desk: ruclips.net/video/CG3XDu8aAf8/видео.html
If you want to see Jacob in NOT a low register, check out his 8 and a half minute video recording the Tori Kelly's vocal parts for Bridge Over Troubled Water (which you should do a video on anyway just because of how completely insane Tori is), but he sings all the parts to her and she then sings them back in her insane voice, but in singing those parts, he hits an Eb 5. :)
1. Thanks for your comments on this performance, it is definitely not one to pause and analyze on a first listen. 2. Laufey graduated in ‘21 and got her first Grammy this spring, go see her live if she tours near you. 3. Three of my favorite musicians together 💜 4. Next, maybe listen to Angelina Jordan singing Unchained Melody last year ruclips.net/video/8LAMPz57Aqw/видео.html, it’s quite the performance. 🎼🎶🖤🎵
Thanks so much for sharing this reaction, I do hope you actually go down that rabbit hole, Jacob's music deserves it. There's SO many facets to him you still haven't heard because he's a musical chameleon and I hope we get to ride along :) My vote is for his original song Make Me Cry, the Mahogany Sessions version---it's mindblowingly beautiful
Great reaction as always. If you want another from Jacob, this here is incredible: ruclips.net/video/OFVVRyFH1vs/видео.html This is Jacob at the BBC Proms, a very prestigious UK concert that is hosted at the Royal Albert Hall in England.
As others have said, Moon River will change your life. The dynamic range on that piece is extraordinary.
Watch him on solo piano at his home with his version of "Fix You". Hearing the hammers on his upright just adds to the emotion. Never a dry eye.
I’d pay for this reaction lol

@@stewiegriffin993 that is one of my favorites from him! I second the Make Me Cry reaction
I just noticed Jacob's mother Suzie was playing violin in the orchestra!
They did a performance together prior to this! It was such a treat!
For the love of goodness Jacob you’re gonna break my heart completely if you keep doing this. God bless you son. ❤️
Why can't this be mainstream, brings ne hope to see young people perform like this.
This transcends into more than a song...

Yeah we need this one for sure

@@carcolevan7102 yeah, definitely listen to the album version
Conducts the audience and they finish in perfect pitch to rejoin the orchestra. Genius.
An underrated suggestion is In The Real Early Morning, live on BBC with the Metropole Orkest
As the comments are suggesting, the Jacob rabbit hole is deep and amazing. Have fun, can’t wait for the reactions. ❤️
I watched this concert video about 10 days ago, I simply loved it, sooo beautiful!
Jacob collier is a pure genius!!! And I’m so excited to see him in December!!!! Also with tori kelly supporting!!!!
Yes! I am going to the London concert too. Bringing my wife and son, think it will change their lives! Saw him in Bristol with my wife and it was like nothing I'd seen before.

I love Jacob ❤❤❤ kisses from Italy 😘😘😘
Kudos to Jacob and Jules Buckley for the orchestral arrangement, which he did at his concert at Royal Albert Hall several years ago.
Thankyou for reacting to this video! It makes me cry every time I listen to this cover. I love it so much

You have to listen to Jacob's cover of Moon River. It's the only musical masterpiece I've heard so far in the 21st century.
There's a lot of good stuff grom Jacob, dude, don't need to focus on one specificly.

Thank you so much for bringing this to every one of us. I'm not a religious person, but sending prayers and all the best to you, your family and your father.
He's also an insane multi-instrumentalist! You should react to his video of Hideaway or All Night Long!
