FEATURED PATCH: LA Custom C7 Grand
www.spectrason...
Jacob is using a Roland A-88 to play Keyscape in this video. The keyboard stand is a custom Gibraltar build.
the future is here. thats a perfect natural piano sound. its like all the harmonics and feel is there!
oh, and jacob just being jacob. hes from the future too.
So much truth in this.
All the software piano one could ever need.
Axe Man For a digital piano/keyboard that's quite close to a natural sound, if you substract everything that's create from surroundings, f.e. echo.
+brunhilde haha, never heard this one before. i like it :P
You play it through a good interface and speakers....yeah, it sounds pretty damn good.
he's at that level where you can see his hands trying to go through some chords before deciding on one.. must be overwhelming to decide what chord to use when your mind tells you hundreds of options.
And each decision provides the context for him to have hundreds more options for what the next chord will be
well... not for JC. Genius in live action...
It’s like being Doctor Strange
It's exactly like speaking, we all are geniuses :) but some people use a more sophisticated vocabulary
It's like how we walk. Our legs know where to go without brain thinking about the landing position.
Jacob Aang: The last jazzbender. Master of the 4 elements (phrasing, melody, harmony and multi instrumentalism)
HE HAS RETURNED
bro it's emotion, melody, harmony and rhythm since phrasing is inside melody and rhythm is WAY more important then being a multi instrumentalist
Fernando Beltran phrasing is melody, and multi-instrumentalism isn't important dude
Whether or not you "master" multiple instruments or not, playing more than one instrument can give you a wide sense of your space and roll in the music. It makes you empathetic, not sympathetic musically. Jacob Collier's grasp of most instruments at this early age shows a holistic understanding of what music truly is.
Phrasing is not the same as melody.
Phrasing is a key element inside of melody and rhythm. To become a master of melody, you must first become a master of phrasing.
4:52 "I think that's the best piano sound I've ever heard." ~ Jacob Collier....Spectrasonics needs to plaster that quote on everything.
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the fact that Jacob Collier is alive and making UA-cam videos for us, Mozart and Beethoven couldn’t do that back then.
Facts !!!
to me it looks like he's playing a bit randomly dude ;)
@@mr.fantasee then you clearly just havent got the musical skill and knowledge to understand his art yet... learn more and come back in a few years...
@@juliengmusic
He has deep emotional intelligence and the musical knowledge and skill to express it. I wish he'd release a solo piano album
He is about to this Thursday...he just announced it today
hes released his piano ballad performances on spotify at least. its some of the best performances iv'e heard from him. something i wish i can hear for the first time again
The piano monks gave this guy a magic shirt?
ikstephan 😂😂....... I have to comment on this
ikstephan hahahaaha
ikstephan 😂😂😂😂
ikstephen They didn't just give the shirt to Jacob. He had to earn it by snatching a pebble from the master's hand.
thrifty
sometimes i think im clever for adding a diminished chord here and there then i watch this guy play and im just like damn lol
Keep adding awesome diminisheds :) then two different chords on top of each orher but spread them out :)
i'm just happy when i can sneak in some chromatic notes lol
im lucky if i can hit a triad
@trentwaterman7049 I feel that
THIS is how you make an ad. Where can I buy a Jacob Collier? I mean KEYSCAPE****
Joyce Chahine - Pianist gold comment 😁
I want to carry a pocket Jacob with me at all times. Unfortunately out of stock :(
@@aknopf8173 Well done: Priceless. Wow!
Yes, I need a Jacob too 😆💕
@@twoot63 we can buy a ticket to one of his shows tho 😆 it's one of my dreams to see him live and make friends w him too 😊
3:40 please give him a medal or some kind of award for that phrase.
hippest chords and swingest rhythm
ah fratm ma sei italiano
@@GrumpyStormtrooper ahah si
Somehow that reminds me of Toy Story
@@eldj3594 ahahahah
He doesn't play music, he IS music.
A.J. Miller the music plays him
Let's not exaggerate , he's good but he's far from being music itself
whenever I start to believe this life ain’t worth it, remind me to RUN back to this video. wheeewwww boy
lollll
!!!!
Run!! Always
Come on back.
reminder to sprint back
This man´s brain is outstanding. Love to see how a person is able to think of such a spontaneic, beautiful sound and translate inmediately like magic to his hands.
BTW: the change from a heavy intense ambient 2:17 to a delicated calm one in 3:05 is so freacking smoooooth
1:26 transposing is brilliant too!
Check out Glasys
And that's what "effortless mastery" looks like, folks. Just wow.
Jim Wilson Music you know it ;)
I honestly think he’s the most important pianist since bill evans, truly innovative and original soul with the wisdom of the oldest of beboppers and the inquisitive sensitivities of a child.
Wonderful
jesus molina is also brilliant
@@CTNMusique Jesus can just play ridiculously fast lol
Keith Jarrett? Brad Mehldau?
I agree, but Cory Henry is better for me.
Robert glasper?
This improvisation became my personal Hideaway.
I see what you did there
He will go down in history as one of the BEST....
Collier is the man. I get so excited thinking about where he'll be in 10 years. Such a fantastic player.
+1492paulo You mean the best in any generation
Nah. He still has to learn restraint
@1492paulo To: 1492 Paulo: I am in agreement. Yes, by all means, if money can be made -- make it! One always a need to consider money as a root to all necessities. If one is great, and the best in his field, he will need to present to people the need to drive and -- look *up* to his domicile of denizen in order to avoid those who are far less, to be dumping down on his disproportionate degree of dowry.
Andrew Tucker says who?
He’ll be back to his home planet
"I wish I knew how it would feel to be free" right there at 2:23
Brilliant gospel voicings as per usual from Jacob
Daniel Radford was just about to comment that!
Yeah, and I noticed some Nina Simone techniques in there.
I sound so damn stupid saying this; I'm a violinist and composer. Wish I could understand how jazz harmony works. I wish I could live out the feeling you get when playing jazz.
So start listening jazz
Hahah I do...but I want to be able to play it so bad. I have a lot of fun creating my own, usually bossa nova sounding type of progressions. But I have no real knowledge about how to play this kind of harmony.
Check out Aimee Nolte's videos. She is a huge help. Never too late to start learning! Trust me on this ;)
• pearl of a girl • Girl also if you already master Aimee Nolte's lessons, you can have a little try for looking some June Lee Harmony videos and analysis, they are pretty crazy :")
Truly, listening and enjoying jazz is the best way to learn it! Once you start to really feel a tune and love it, try to learn it by ear, it'll build your jazz ear strength, and your vocabulary, all the while look up the chords and changes for the songs you're listening for, keep doing it and having fun playing improvising on simple parts of it, like keeping it on one note, then thirds, then between the chords, then eventually let yourself go and I can assure you, that feeling is every bit worth it to be able to lose yourself in the music of jazz, with everyone you play with!!! I wish you the best of luck Keep Your Mellow Chill, you've got this!!!!!
Jacob: I've never been like the kid with the chops
Also Jacob: 1:53
More like 0:00-5:03
He learned how to play like that when he started proper lessons at 16 or something. Before he could only play chords because of how he used to discover new chords and experiment
cant wait till Jacob is like 60 years old and makes a video explaining how to play fourths to travel the 20th dimension
Hahahahha toooop comment
lol
I think if I had to choose only one lesson to show a young student who’s eager to learn what’s “musical playing?” What’s “musicality”? I would show them this improvisation. It has it all.
The way he develops his ideas, introducing these short but very effective and memorable little melodies. Those textures and harmonies, the endless flow of chords and ideas, the unbelievable amount of surprise, the way he flawlessly exchange between sweet classic diatonic harmony and complex jazz voicings, between hymn, gospel and virtuosic runs. It’s music from the first two notes.
And off top of all that totally improvised of course!
Just unbelievable. I find myself returning again and again to this video. Thank you so much
Gsus what a musician. Just listened to his album on Spotify. Best in a looong time! ...also of course awesome sound at the piano but that I already knew
dat pun
when I first heard him my first reaction was to yell Gsus2
I stopped reading at the pun. It was already worth a like
read that and yelled Gsus4 good
The favourite chord of a cantor ;)
Everything about this piece is fucking astonishing...That ending melody he starts playing at 4:09 totally kills me, insanely beautfiul!
pusztai777 i know right, like it's amazing he can come up with a melody like that out of thin air , it's so catchy
It might be referencing to the Beatles "Black Bird", the ending part"you were only waiting for this moment to arrive". He used to finish his shows with that song.
It also sounds like John Mayer's Daughters, "so mothers be good to your daughters too....."
That melody is "tuppence a bag" from feed the birds from Mary Poppins. It's the end of that song.
Man that made my anxiety go away for a bit, amazing
Power of music
This was an improvisation played when he was 22-years old.
Imagine what's next when he will get older... jeeeeeeeeesh!
You should now put on to the box of Keyscape "AS PLAYED BY JACOB COLLIER"
HarryVarthakouris And inevitably transcribed by June Lee.
Fucking now!
In this video he was 22, man that's crazy, can't think about that. I think that the way he expresses himself and the way he voices sensations translated in music really shows how he is a master of this language. This is what I see when I look at his face at 1:39 for example.
His smile at 1:35 always makes me smile too, it just shows how much he enjoys music
It's GAME OVER for piano plugins.
And 30GB for a Lite installation. I say that's doable.
@Maafa 1619 Funny, I never found Pianoteq that inspiring at all. Keyscape and Addictive Keys did it for me. I've never found modelled Piano's that good. Arturia's Piano V is okay ish but just doesn't feel alive and needs so much tweaking. Pianoteq felt the same to my ears.
"Multiple Grammy-winner" yesss Jacob
I've listened to this session upwards of 100 times now and every single time I listen to this I get chills throughout my body.
exactly the same for me!
Jacob is SO BRILLIANT that we have to revel in this single instrument moment. We may never get one again.
Amazing piano improvisation by Jacob Collier!...A touch of Keith Jarrett and Herbie Hancock with a great gospel soul!
I would say Ray Charles too. Great for sure.
The moment I first discovered Jacob's music, it was like seeing a new colour in the world for the first time.....and now he's playing my favourite virtual piano. Wowwwwwwwwww. Thank you, Jacob, thank you Eric.
This is basically what every musician does when composing music. Only difference is that any of Jacob's improv can be a final product.
I will never be able to play the piano like that. Never. But to witness someone else doing it is truly incredible.
one of the greatest of our times.
If someone asked me what love sounds like in music, then I'd show them this clip. Thank you Jacob for always sharing your talent sonically with the rest of the world
Jacob, can you release an album only for keyboard improvisation? @.@
I'll buy just to play before bed or during love making
I would seriously love it
You should check out his performances that he does at home in front of his piano only.
I think Calm now has it
Jacob revived my dream of learning to play piano.
A huge compliment from Jacob ! This grand piano really has soul, depth, drama and all what you want as a player!
This is like when someone does math and I’m like “I’ve heard of twelve”
It’s fantastic watching Collier deliberate over every note, what a guy
Seeing him live just last month was such a privilege. Such a talented human being. He finds so much joy in sharing his gift with other people and I appreciate that with my entire being.
He took all the good stuff from the most satisfying jazz piano improvs I ever heard and rolled it all into a 5min tune.
Please tell me what jazz piano you listen to. The switches from bluesy to gospel and the jazzy dancing in between is wonderful.
@@codectified all of it.
@@timmo491 lol no seriously this kind of music i'm poor of and looking for charity. it's the sudden switches to plagal cadences that i really enjoy.
This is how many people want Jacob to pull a Keith Jarrett and do an entirely improvised solo piano concert... BEST BELIEVE I would buy a ticket. Rest assured a lot of others would as well.
Jacob definitely knows a language all his own,he makes that piano speak,all the right runs fills and jazz and blues chords I ever heard all wrapped up in an impromptu situation.
That run from 2:02 to 2:11 is true genius
That's what I'm saying broo
Scales bro
Not so much
Incredible good. Jacob for me is a prove for cosmic energy which has found him as a valve to be expressed.
I am green with envy as a jazz muso myself. Well done. It's great to see such a young guy playing jazz. And so well.
Jacob (now 22) has been playing 12 hours a day (average) for at least 15 years. Probably one of the most committed, music-driven, hard-working most talented jazz musicians in the world today. Ask Quincy Jones! He endorsed Jacob 100% three years ago. Frankly, we ain't seen nothing yet!
Bouncybon where did u hear the 12 hours a day thing?? I don't even know how that's possible
The album IN MY ROOM is the clue. It's a celebration of the many years Jacob has spent in his music room, undisturbed, throughout his teens exploring harmony and rhythm and deepening his mastery of the keyboard and other instruments. He says "sometimes you break for a bit of food or something". That's how the hours slip away.... As a boy he had the 'luxury' of this freedom at home. Ideal conditions!
A luxury and a curse. But on the whole a youth well used. Most waste it on computer games. They play more than 10,000 hours of GTA and Assassins Creed and the like, before the age of 21. Spent by a piano, Collier happens.
Bouncybon p
That keyboard is a real piano and Jacob is an absolute genius. Absolutely No doubt.
His sense of style is uniquely impeccable.
I just can't get enough of this, I watch it atleast 10 times a week.
this might be my most favourite 5 minutes of jazz piano! (a little bit of Keith Jarrett in there somewhere) I love it!
The Keith Jarrett inspiration is definitely in there! What an incredible improvisation.
The best 5 minutes anyone can spend listening to piano music
one of my favorte videos on internet. Thank you Spectrasonics and Jacob! Wish you love!
He's gonna be big...Very big...
Bruder Tak He already is!
He is.. Also, his shirt.
Bruder Tak what's sad is he won't be really big.... He is ALREADY big amongst the smart, musically inclined people but he's never gonna be a giant celebrity.
The world isn't just.
I'm sure he doesn't want to be a giant celebrity, he's definitely getting the bills paid and having fun with it
@@spaghe7 He's gonna be big enough to properly fit into one of those shirts!
Straight up no flaws. Just a natrual and pure piano sound. Just one preset out of many and it can show more than enough emotions. I love it!
Thought I was listening to Keith Jarrett for a moment. Stunning!
4:05 till the end😍😍 was so soothing.
I hope some day I'll be able to make people feel the way Jacobs music makes me feel
How great is it that we get to listen to him for many years to come. THAT was fantastic!!!
That was so beautiful. I had chills the whole time, so smooth, so perfect. The fact that he can improvise something so soulful and from the heart is truly incredible. He’s better than most full time pianists who play ONLY the piano. Talk about multi talented. We are truly blessed with his presence on this earth.
I think I’ve listened to it about a hundred times and I still can’t get over how amazing this is!
My soul is touched, I'm alive! THANK YOU JACOB!
I always come back to this video bc of Jacob. He really is one of the best musicians in the world ❤
I come back here frequently. Obvs for the musical genius, but also for that off the shoulder number he’s wearing. You go, JC. I’m all in.
So much depth to his music that can easily go overlooked because it's THAT good.
Jacob Collier always KILLING IT!
Anybody else hear those Art Tatum, Lennie Tristano influenced lines in there. And the chording at the end? Bill Evans, maybe? or some of those dense voicings that Herbie uses? Like damn, this kid has studied the masters and mastered the art and he's doing The Thing at 22. It's lit.
Mccoy Tyner as well around 1:42
And of course Jarrett too.
I hear it too. Art Tatum around the 3:00 mark
Some Victor Borge right at the end there. Great man.
Bill evans for sure i heard
Master Jacob Collier, graces the software, with but a few gestures, from his oceanic reserves of genius
I have listened to this more than i'd like to admit.
If I were able to play like this, I would probably never leave the piano.
I agree with some others here. I would love for Jacob to do a CD of just piano improvisations like this. I could listen for hours. Of course, this virtual piano doesn't suck either.
Ahhh, those progressions. Pure magic.
I mean, sounds really nice but can we just appreciate the fact that Jacob Collier is just unbelieveable?
I bought keyscape recently and I’m very very happy i did so ! It’s the best I’ve played so far. Though, I don’t have the skills like this guy perhaps i do think it’s important to get an accurate sounding piano because it boosts your creativity so much !! 👌❤️
3:04-3:12 that musical moment is stuck in my head
This video brought me to buy Keyscape for myself several years ago and to this day it remains as one of my best purchases as a composer and pianist. No other sound library comes close to the richness and fidelity in sound that Keyscape has to offer, and the wide selection of different keyboards available is paramount to the program's uniqueness. To say that Keyscape is one of the best virtual instruments on the market is an understatement, and these videos that bring in a wealth of talented players showcasing the capabilities of the program was an incredibly smart decision by Spectrasonics. Thank you for this excellent product!
Just when I think I can't be more amazed by Jacob Collier...
Beyond words!!! The best improv I've heard in a long time.
true and Jesus molina 😳
im sure his hands have brains of their own
Excellent 👌 😂
one in each finger
LOL !!!
OMG...this dude is from another dimension YIKES!! Phenomenal!
Fantastic sound. The natural, subtle pedal noises add a lot to the vibe too. And Jacob, always inspiring!
Beautiful. Goosebumps.. Nearly crying.
This is the guy you need when you want to showcase a keyboard/software.
reminds me of long trips to my tai chi mentor who lived in the mountains
i would drive my car with all the windows open and look out at the very vast and beautiful yet very lighthearted and comforting view with the smell of nature and wind in my face while i was playing a different solo keith jarret concert each way there and back. something really lovely i've been lucky enough to experience, thanks for reminding me jacob
Wonderful.... No other words to describe his playing. Thanks Jacob
The very first video I ever saw of him. I’ve been looking for this one for around 4 years now, thank God for UA-cam recommended😂
most beautiful piano song I have ever heard - genuis!
He said „sound“
One of my new favorite musicians!
any note sounds amazing the quality is so good
I have played this so many times. Does this exist on Spotify? Or like, how can I listen to this over and over for the rest of my life without having to come to UA-cam. Also, mom if you’re reading this and I have slipped into a coma, please bring headphones and put this on.
This was video was my first time seeing Jacob. Since then, I've seen a ton of his videos, I've been inspired as an aspiring musician, I've seen him in concert, and he continues to mesmerize me with his profound harmonic fluency.
I look forward to getting this software! (once I can afford it...)
Thanks for a great video :)
In 2020..Still the best sounding ..All spectrasonics products..You buy once and use it like forever..
He's too much of a genius, too good for juliard even. LOVE this guy's style and way of perceiving the world of music. I think he deserves every single Grammy he owns, would be an honor to work with someone as whimsical and talented as Jacob Collier.
#"totally heavy" 👏❤️
4:10 I like those 'coming home type chords'
this is pure magic. i don’t even want to call him a genius or whatever. he is just magic. stuff like this makes me want to live.
His music is especially refreshing and very moving. I am so touched. Great piano sound as well. Way to go KEYSCAPE. Cool sound colors at 1:42-1:52. Neat idea!, Jacob!
