    Anyone has noticed that his hairstyle is according the octave he's singing? The spiky hair is the higher melodies and the bass line (low melodies) is the hair down.
    p.s: I don't know if the English is correct, I'm from Brasil.

      @Some Phaggot I mean, you're the classical musician who's tastes are from renacentism to a not experimental romanticism. You should hear some avant guarde music to nearly understand the why of the complexity. I should recommend to you: Xenakis, Rautavaara, Schoenberg, Poulenc, Ravel and Bartók, just for start.

    This guy is a genius. I don't how anyone could dislike this. He is definitely advancing jazz harmony into its next phase, hence advancing jazz. A direct descendant of Bud Powell, Lennie Tristano, Bill Evans and Gil Evans. He is only about 24 so look for some great compositions to come out of him. A revolutionary force in music from the north of England I think. Who would have thought.

    Whoa. Here's my analysis:
    - 0:00 - 0:41: Rhythm is 8/4 = 10 * 3/16 + 2/16, starting on the second sixteenth in the first measure (and hitting the first sixteenth in the second measure).
    - 0:25 - 0:29: The melody is transposed a half-tone upwards.
    - 0:46 - 0:48: ...
    - 0:55 - 1:01: The base is 5 over 4, then 6 over 4, then 7 over 4, then 0 over 4 ;)
    - 1:06 - 1:10: The metre changes from 4/4 to 7/8.
    - 1:07: The melody transposes by a whole tone upwards.
    - 1:10 - 1:21: The metre alternates between 4/4 and 7/8.
    - 1:30 - 1:33: Shifted patterns in 7.
    - 1:51, 1:58: Syncopated 3/4-patterns.
    - 2:04 - 2:10: Repeated 3/16-patterns.
    - 2:18 - 2:21: 2 over 3.
    - 2:23: The melody is now in E major instead of Eb major.
    - 2:43: Rhythm gets slower by a factor of 4/5?
    - 3:02: A IV in the bass, just like in "Crazy She Calls Me". The notes are probably D, A, F#, B, E, G#. And there is the most grinning face I've seen in a while :)
    Jacob, if (as you said) there is something like "too many ideas" and it is like this, I would love to hear it!

    I mean... Just listen to this! The chords he plays on 1:44 like "I don't give a ... about anything anybody else plays." And the harmony in 1:51 is just like the Absolute Jazz SWAG, the emotions it contains in such speed. just whaaaat?! And the balls to play those three seconds at 2:04... I mean, this guy creates a musical peace of just three seconds just by putting it so off context... Last time I was excited about musical complexity like this it was with Emperor (black metal) or Igorrr (break core). This is everything. And the "from the time of bedROCK" (not sure what he says really, but this is in the original) in 2:31.. The ROCK part (actually sounds like BAGHDAD) is so OUT of the current melody, it just WAKES YOU UP. The whole music of his, is all about being completely awake while you listen. There is no moment of boredom, no moment of "yeah I know this, I heard this 3 seconds ago and it is going to repeat 8 times now". It is still "WHOA this and WHOA that!"
    I tried to look for anything sounding like this with Pandora, Spotify. NOTHING. Dude you are just ONE of a kind. And he had a concert in Bratislava, like just a hundred kilometers away from me, but I did not kNOW HIM! A friend actually talked to him. Jeez I hope he comes to Prague or somewhere close again soon!

Because that's not something you can actually feel, you make that up about certain music (likely when it's more complicated than you're used to). All this then does is make it so you shut yourself off from enjoying certain music because you don't want to like it. It's akin to disliking music when it's made by certain people or for certain reasons. It ignores the actual music.
