I once heard it said that Jacob plays his voice like an instrument, and I really think that’s the best description of his singing I’ve ever heard.
Gregory Porter is one of my favorite singers and I didn't think I'd see him with Jacob Collier. For his part, Jacob Collier is undoubtedly one of the best musicians of recent times. I think that since Stravinsky or Piazzola someone like that has not been seen.
Miles Davis? Keith Jarrett? Bill Evans? John Coltrane?
There have been many great musicians since Stravinsky to match this level of musicianship and vision
@@piotrzdunek7282they are definitely phenominal but there is a dangerously small border between what makes a musician flawless and what makes them legendary, I think that's what's in discussion here. All of those will go down in history, but there's a different caliber here. Almost complete mastery of such a multitude of instruments, the ability to write for every one on the planet, and pretty much entirely self taught, and he's barely older than the youngest professionals in the field right now, all while competing with modern billboard artists and winning grammy after grammy. A mastery of musical ability vs. an aptitude of the musical language
@piotrzdunek7282 you forget Errol Gardner, as you like
@@chrisdudleytrumpet jacob would say john and miles are better. miles ahead ;), the factors of being a great musician is not only about skill (which jacob MORE than has) but also influentiality and songwriting. i personally think for that reason they are better. the songs and musicianship are a whole other level. jacob (at this age) is a little bit of a show off, and tends to lean for the hardest possible things in music, (which ofc miles and john etc also did) but they didnt utilise it in their songs. simplicity is nearly always better than extreme complexity as it contains a form of beauty and catchiness you just cant get with playing the bebop scale at 218 bpm. i however do think that jacob is scarily good and will only become better and mature later in his career. at that point, he probably will be better than the greats.
@@ijkolpkml well said
Jeez Jacob's vocal range is insane! And that piano playing, genius... he blows my mind every single time!
3:45 when they match the lowest note, Jacob gave it! 👏👏👏
OMG….THIS IS OUT-FREAKING STANDING. WOW!!!!!! I had to hold back the tears of joy for how beautiful this new rendition of a classic comes off. Whew!! Two super talented cats. I just hope there is a forthcoming album or more singles like this at the very least.
In his purity of voice and sensitive piano virtuosity - Jacob can stray into genuine Nat King Cole territory whenever he wants to and pull it off.
Jacob was insane in this. He's so good.
I love his phrasing and the voice is so unique, don't you agree?
Ouff... that voice, and those chords...
Increíble versión.
So beautiful! It would be great to see more of Gregory and Jacob working together.
C’est magnifique. Jacob a une voix laiteuse, des changements d’octaves sont impressionnants. Gregory est magnifique et magique. Merci Messieurs et Bien à Vous et à Nous Tous ! 🙏🏽🍀🎄🏆💫
He is just so good, such a good taste on what notes to play
3:44, what in the world was that? He sings from that deep to all the way up that high?! That is amazing.
and how deep is it ? he missed the note lol. that a B2 or there abouts... typical error of people who cannot sing low but try - they just change the timbre and not the note.
Gregory was half an octave lower
and then he goes up to fourth octave ... so 2 octave range is actually pretty weak - but most songs don't call for more... it rarely sound good anyway.
@@agnidas5816 Collier and Porter have wildly different approaches to singing. Collier tends to be very clean with his notes, Porter tends to be a bit more free and hovering in both tonality as timing. There is a strong difference in how they are shaping their notes, it is however the same F2 note. Jacob then does a run up to D5, making it 2,5 octaves, but it's a bit silly to assume that this is his total range... Or to make a point about his range, because who cares.
It's perfectly fine to prefer Porter over Collier. They're both quite individual and therefore slightly polarizing musicians, but music isn't a contest.
I think the commenter definitely meant jacob, as he goes from way deeper to way way wayyy higher then his counterpart
A unique moment ! Thank you from Montréal, Canada.
match made in heaven! two of my fav musicians and one of my fav christmas song!😊 i'm the luckiest human being that i've had the amazing opportunity to saw both of them in real life concert in Budapest! 🥰
Jeez when is the album coming out. Just pure magic 👏👍👏👍
Unreal
They made my day and hopefully my year, big hug to all who need oneYves B.
WOW I never thought I'd see these two together, thank you for posting this!
A jewel............
My top two artists of the year. What a gift!
Careful about judging a man by the hat he wears.
great comment, this applies to both of them
Careful with that axe, Eugene
Best combo I could ever imagine, beautiful, from heart and professional. Gregory technique working with that microphone is just something that many singers just don`t do, or just ignore. Perfect balance in distance between source and microphone, all the time.
So beautiful. Love both. Collier moves me to tears.
This is simply magic, this duo is so complete, wonderful talents ❤️
two of my very favorite artists. what a way to end 2021. thank you!
Interesting hat choices
This is wonderful
Beautiful!
Beautiful

Jazz. Beautiful Jazz.❤
beautiful!!! MUSIC
Beautifull. A song made concert 😊
Absolut Great
Greetings from Germany 🎄👍
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
Next year all our troubles, will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
Next year all our troubles, will be miles away
Once again, as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Will be near to us once more
Someday soon we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Boys with funny hats
3:47
Unbelievable.. so happy someone else appreciated this as much as I did. I backed it up at least 20 times to hear it again!
@@Divi9ine me too
This was amazing
Same ! 😁
très d'ambiance et doux🎆
❤
Guys in funny hats ❤
I love Jacob Collier so much and this was great. But check out the one he did with Tori Kelly😳
❤ ❤️🎄👏🏼👏🏼
This plays like a skit about 2 musicians each trying to play the last note in a song😂
For real, everything jacob collier does sounds like he's trying to one up everyone.
❤🎶💕🎶🎤🎹🎶
🎉
Wear awesome beanie --> sound awesome! Ha haaa
Yo Greg!
Foi muito frio interior ? O cantor e o pianista têm orelhas refrigeadas .
Mas eles cantaram bem 👏👏👏
Was it too cold inside? The singer and pianist have cooled ears.
But they sang well.
gotta say.. This is two geniuses.. doing each of their thing, each on their own. I think it sounds a lot like they haven't rehearsed much together. Not taking any talent away from either, but the combination doesn't work right here, I think.
Both artists enjoy improvising. It's quite rare for them to duplicate a performance. Clearly they've rehearsed enough. There's still a bit of exploration and a slight bit of tension as is ok with improvisation. It all comes together and I really enjoy the different textures their styles and voices bring.
@@Bebop_2962 That's what's exciting with music, I think. In my perspective they don't come together at all and yours they do - proof that it's just at matter of the ears listening!
It‘s not about perfection, it‘s about innovation.
@@anton_ctn30 yea, but I think innovation isn't a goal in it self. It's just the tool :)
@@victorpetermusic deep
Is he..wearing a scuba diving suit his under his regular suit?
Lol
This is such a beautiful ironic juxtaposition between the yuppy audience and two musicans having a ton of fun with each other.
somebody transcribe this so I don't have to

Why is his head wrapped in cloth
Ok, who got the big dopey hat idea from whom ??
Gregory Porter wore the hat to hide some scalp injuries, and he hasn't been seen in public without it since. He might feel uncomfortable since he had surgery and had to wear a hat, but now that his injury has healed, he might appear normal wearing a hat. The hat is a Kangol Summer Spitfire with a strap that has been adjusted.
Love Jacob, but I have an irrational hatred of balaclava man.
For all of his public appearances Gregory wears his now famous hat to cover up scars he has from surgery.
The musician calls the flat cap his "security blanket" and refers to it as his “jazz hat.”
Jacob really needs to understand when less is more
If he wasn't famous ... just randomly wailing ... and with technique that you cannot hear without a mic cause he is doing it QUIET... most of y'all can do it you just don't have a microphone around.
Jacob Collier is obviously insanely talented, but he seems to be unable to play and sing a song in a straightforward manner. His wacky vocal embellishments and flourishes add nothing to the song, it’s just musical masturbation.
I hate Xmas songs……
They are good. It looks staged.
Hat on pianist doesnt look right....hes dorky.
