- What an absolutely beautiful rendition of Lionel Richie's "All Night Long." We learned that it took hundreds of hours literally to create this work of art, and it shows.
We loved this one!

In case you were wondering, the black choir in the video are The Aeolians of Oakwood University in Alabama.
Yep my HBCU and my Choir 👊🏾 8:30 Jacob has written music for us that he flew in and watch us perform live, did a master class wit us and is an absolute gift to all musicians - he learned of the Aeolians because he became obsessed with Take 6 growing up and then learned of Oakwood through them, kept searching and was happy to find the choir doing rich arrangements-brought everybody together for the masterpiece.
that's a great name!
I didn't even notice that it was them! Sweet
@@Navigata1in the making of Djesse Vol 4 he’s cited meeting the Aeolians as a formative point in his career. I found it so deeply moving at the end of the album that the penultimate song ends where vol 1 began. When World O World starts after that, I felt that Jacob was stating that meeting the Aeolians was truly where his Djesse journey started. Thank you so much for being part of that group- you all are truly a force for good in this world
@@misterbadcock Jacob is a Treasure 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
9:25 you basically described how he got dozens of celebrity voices to be on his arrangement of Moon River, he asked them to send a video singing 'moon' in any note of the Bb scale
One of the things I love about Jacob Collier is how he can sound like all members of Take 6 all at the same time when he puts his own harmonies together. And then to do the song WITH Take 6...whew! Check out his cover of "Moon River". And also, his song "Time Alone with You" with Daniel Caesar.
And yeah...you did see Quincy. Jacob is Quincy's protege.
The fun part is many of the people don't know that ofcourse jacob did this whole arrangment but he also did all the video freaking editing and he normally does that for all of his songs
his music is utterly awful.
The guys singing harmony with Jacob was Take 6. An a cappella group that is super well known here in the USA.
I thought that was them!
Gentleman, wonderful, wonderful reaction. Loved your comments, your energy.This is such an epic good vibe song and your reactions were so upbeat and full of joy. Loved it. FYI: Jacob literally did everything in this video. The vocal arrangements, orchestration, obviously a lot of playing skills and he did the entire video himself in his home studio (his childhood bedroom at his mom's house. She made a very brief appearance as the petite woman playing the violin). Jacob has a totally unique command of vibrations and knows just what notes and harmonies to use to get the emotional effect he is looking for. Once again great job on this reaction. Thanks.
That's a sick hoodie, hell yeah brother.
Thanks for noticing the hoodie! -Dre
Guys! Loved your reaction! Jacob is pretty wild. Yeah, that was Q in there holding up the chords. He's been a big supporter and his introduced him a bunch of musicians including Herbie Hancock. I'd love to see you guys react to his versions of The Flintstones, All I Need, Time Alone With You or Moon River. You choose. They're all fire.
It makes your soul so happy, you said. Exactly! Jacob is the only of four singers that absolutely broke my mind when I did not need it and it did not come unexpected like with the others. He makes me (and us!) incredibly happy indeed! 👍👍👍 👍👍👍 👍👍👍
Thanks for introducing me to this! That was a heck of an experience 😲 I'll be sure to share this video with a bunch of me peeps 🙏 Much Love ❤👊
I want to listen to every song in his album with the two of you. The joy you're obviously feeling is what I feel every time I hear anything of his. It never fails.
(And as you might imagine, I have instantly subscribed. Let's do more of this.)
Take 6 is one of my favorite gospel vocal groups from my childhood. It's wonderful to see them still making amazing music.
My first time on your page guys and you just happened to be reacting to someone who IMO just set the bar so high that the rest of the pack's gonna need a pole vault to get even close.
11:28 This is what music is supposed to feel like.
You nailed it ! \o/
omg watching you two right now is making me soooooooo happy!!!!! Magical to see music touch others like this!
Smart analysis. Thank you. Lovely closing sentiment. Sometimes music can have its hooks into many of us, drawing us in and together. JC puts a lot into his pieces, but ultimately with such a sense of space that, as our senses slowly widen to the rich experience, it never ultimately feels crowded. His musical universe is bigger than most, inviting many returns and many visitors.
It seems to awaken many to a yearning for direct musical experience. His commitment to live performance and the direct involvement of his audience, shows him to be a musical pathfinder.
His music is generous and active.
Your beard is to facial hair what Jacob is to music! Wonderful reaction as well!!
Loved your summary of Jacob, De. ❤
Thank you so much for this guys! Excellent work and Jacob has blown my mind until it can't be blown any further!
Jacob said he wrote the arrangement in about 6 hours on a flight. He got off the plain and recorded. It with everyone. He won a Grammy for this. Insane
Some nit-picks. In his video ①, Jacob explains how he made "All Night Long". He said it took about a year. He wrote the orchestral arrangement in about 6 hours *_before_* getting on the flight. He lives in the UK, North London. So the flight time is between 1 hour and 1½ hours to 'Holland' (likely London Heathrow to Schiphol).
He got off the flight, and _eventually_ recorded the orchestral part within 24 hours. He had the help of Vladimir Nikolov to convert his MIDI/Logic orchestration into sheet music for the orchestra.
Later he recorded the parts with Take 6, and eventually 'THE AEOLIANS OF OAKWOOD UNIVERSITY'. Also later, he added the Moroccan Gnawa.
Best Wishes. ☮
① _LOGIC SESSION BREAKDOWN: "All Night Long (feat. Take 6)"_ ua-cam.com/users/liveUAMc4K_NXsA explains what happened.
Seeing these guys just vibe added a magic back to this music that I had since forgotten. It reminded me of what it was like discovering Jacob for the first time, having no idea how he did it. Thank you guys.
Jacob Collier is a musical genius!
Love the reaction, so joyous and pure.....
Jacob's arrangements and harmony structures are astounding. He's finally made enough of a name in the business that if he asks anyone to help on a song, he all always gets a yes now. I see him working as a producer and songwriter for a long time.
This is my first time seeing a video from the two of you and I just have to say, this feels like a top tier professional production. Well done to everyone involved in creating the final product, you guys are amazing!
Wow, thank you! - Dre
@@De.Dre.Universe No problem!! I just watched your reaction to Schism and I think it's a really well done video as well. I tend to listen to a lot of music that gets thrown into that kind of genre (progressive rock and metal), so if you guys ever decide to explore that further then let me know bc I would be more than happy to give recommendations! Metal/rock elitists can be annoying sometimes so I'm trying to get the jump on anyone trying to gatekeep stuff from y'all XD
I am so thankful that Jacob is so young, that I'll be able to hear his work for the rest of my own life. First heard about him when I heard Quincy Jones was excited about working with a new artist, been down the rabbit hole ever since.
Super awesome! More Jacob!!
"AW, YOU PAUSED IT" that totally cracked me!!! LOL Gold reaction, guys!
You NEED to check out Jacob Collier doing Don't You Know with Snarky Puppy. It's like, maybe my single favorite recorded performance from the 2010s. It's insane, utterly unreal.
Would love to see you reactions to the other Grammy Awards he has currently.
Flintstones - 2017
You and I - 2017
Moon River - 2020
He won't Hold You - 2021
He got his "All Night Long" Grammy in 2020 as well.
WOW! AMEN!
Hadn't heard of this guy before but I will look into his work 👍🏻
A lovely Jamiroquay-y vibe, too!
The kid's an off the charts genius who's been quietly picking up Grammys and accolades from a lot of seriously well respected musicians. Definitely check him out. When people say 'today's music sucks' I just tell them they aren't looking in the right places. It's out there.
Boy, are you in for a ride :)
Hard Facts!!! Down the rabbit hole you go!
Yeah look into this guy J C ,you will be doing yourself a favour, as he is truly a 21st century musical genius ! Who is not caught up in his ego, he appears to be one very talented humble dude 💫👏
Thank you for your reaction! 😊Greetings from UK 🇬🇧 ☺️ Subscribed and shared ❤️We are all united because we are music, we are vibrations 🎶
That's Jacob's mom on the violin at about 8:01
Check out Jacob's collaboration with Snarky Puppy.
I usually don't really like reaction videos but what I like about you guys is the commentary around how are you exploring something that for your experience is really new? What I really like about Jacob, and what you are describing and experiencing, is the real experience of musicianship being expressed. What he is doing is what we all used to do before sampling and beats and music programming and all of the tech that goes into creating pop records. Given that he's an extremely high-level Musician, his ability to communicate with a lot of different layers is extraordinary. The thing is, arranging and orchestrating and editing and creating content that has depth and originality is not new, it's just something that a lot of people have forgotten about because everything got down to what's the most basic thing we can do to attract attention and sell records. Jacob is making music to satisfy his soul and he's able to do it in a really articulate way. I really enjoyed seeing you guys entering into that experience and I hope you can find other incredible music that does the same thing for you. I can tell you that a lot of the explorations in modern jazz with great musicians like weather report or Mahavishnu orchestra, Joni Mitchell or take six or any other number of music based content that was not pop based, will be a great jumping point for you. I hope you enjoy the exploration and thanks for the video.
11:46 Jacob quotes from Stevies's Sir Duke
Fantastic reaction......
So glad I found this site.
Wow guys, I’m late to the party but what a great channel! Loved your guys commentary, definitely will be watching more 😉
Jacob Collier is the Mozart of our time. An innovative wunderkind that can do everything most people would deem impossible - and make it work: as a musician AND as a performer. He probably could play half of the instruments used in this video at least on the same level by himself.
Great reaction thanks!
you guys need to upload more.. this is what a proper reaction channel is supposed to be like.
A great Lionel Ritchie tune (who’s holding the chords-sign, btw ☺️) -Jacob has turned it into an epic conglomeration of everything…. in true JC style. Take 6, American a capella group, feature; so does Quincy, a great friend of Jacob’s…the vid took hundreds of hours to edit, and is filmed in every great location in the world, including the best, Jacob’s music room, from where most of his creative ideas stem.
He’s such a powerhouse of ingenuity and believer in breaking rules and breaking down boundaries -one of the things that inspire me no end! I had a ticket to see him this Thursday in Sydney, and I’ve got COVID!!!
Your reaction was just the best, heartwarming and honest and so appreciative
“Next To You” by Dirty Loops:
ua-cam.com/video/rV9uCmlMQ1c/v-deo.html
☺️👍
You just described my play list there! Great taste 👌
@@petertoal371 thanks and wow!
Any chance for a Dirty Loops reaction or analysis vid sometime? ☺️
Would be awesome….. 👍
The guy holding the chord sign is Quincy Jones, not Lionel Richie. That's awesome too tbh
@@person3538 yeah my bad, Lionel holds the circle of fifths sign ;) 👍
If I remember correctly, Jacob said that it took him ONE week to finish this arrangement on his PC. Of course the entire production with all of the singers (The Aeolions of Okewood University, Take 6 including the pre-recorded vocals of his own voice) and the orchestra took much more time not to mention the video editing.
He's just from a different Galaxy who came down to our planet, incarnating here to give his incredible presents of the "Music Of The Spheres" to all of us.
"Just makes my soul happy." Lordie yes I do know what you mean. Great react.
I don't want to say that the opinions of non-musicians don't matter. Of course they do. What I would say that if a particular musician is getting the attention of professional classically-trained musicians, then you should probably pay attention to that musician. A lot of my peers refer to Jacob as a 21st-century Mozart. The guy just has an unfettered capacity for creation.
And yes, that was Quincy! Fun fact: Quincey approached Jacob very early on when he started posting arrangements on UA-cam. In a nutshell, Jacob put Quincy on the back burner until he started to understand what he wanted to say through his music. Now, Jacob basically has a free license to do whatever he wants.
In his video ①, Jacob explains how he made "All Night Long". He said overall it took about a year. He wrote the orchestral arrangement in about 6 hours using MIDI & LOGIC before getting on the flight to record it. ② On arrival, Vladimir Nikolov helped convert his MIDI/Logic orchestration into sheet music for the orchestra. It was recorded within 24 hours of arrival. Later he recorded the parts with Take 6, and eventually 'THE AEOLIANS OF OAKWOOD UNIVERSITY'. Also later, he added the Moroccan Gnawa. AFAICT, he recorded video throughout the year including New Orleans. an audience, and his BBC show.
Best Wishes. ☮

② He lives in the UK, North London. So the flight time is between 1 hour and 1½ hours to The Nether;ands (likely London Heathrow to Schiphol), not 6 hours.
③ Credits: Arranged, orchestrated, recorded, mixed, produced by Jacob in Logic Pro X. Additional orchestration: Vladimir Nikolov. Video edited by Jacob in Adobe Premiere Pro.
Welcome to the jacobian world!!!!!
DO MOON RIVER!!!!! AND TIME ALONE WITH YOU!!!! Your welcome
His best success would be creatng flash mob music and choreographing mob dancing in malls and big public venues.
*agressively pauses* "... You've SEEN this before?!"
The exact same reaction every musician had to every other musician sharing Jacob Collier music with them lmfao
Love Take 6 - there were hot back in the day - good rendition. Was that a brief shot of Q in the background?
Love the Luffy reference!🤣 Straw Hat Pirates for the win! ❤
yall gotta react to his version of moon river 🙏
Loved the video…but the Michael Scott 3rd degree burn reference got the subscribe
Lets goooo!!! You're a gentleman and a scholar
-De
Agreed
Jacob Collier composed and wrote everything in this performance including the orchestra music.
Arranged.
Jacob didn't compose it. He ARRANGED a cover of a song originally composed & written by Lionel Ritchie.
@@gracious1440 I guess you are right. I obviously meant the parts that didnt exist in the original like the orchestral part and the jazz piano
I hope my brother doesn't make love the same way he interrupts the video. He be in trouble! I love the vid! The befuddlement is endearing!
Dudes, truly great reaction and appreciation. Strongly recommend Jacob Collier - Never Gonna Be Alone (feat. Lizzy McAlpine & John Mayer) [Official Music Video]. It'll seriously cut into part of your human essence, 200 proof music.
Also, Jacob Collier, Ancona (rehearsal version)
People over profit, yes. Love Jacob.
This reaction further let's me know that you gentlemen would enjoy Kamauu's treatment of Hometown Glory. 💯
Loved your comments, welcome to the world of Jacob Collier, there probably isn’t another artist like him … check our Don’t You Know by Jacob with Snarky Puppy … also Flintstones by Jacob …
you should check his Grammie's ( 2 ) acceptance speech for that arrangement and also Moon River in 2020
When you said he looked like an anime character, that was Monkey D. Luffy from the anime One Piece.
💜
Watch Jacob with Snarky Puppy..! 💥
Take a look at Stormzy - This is how i feel. BARZ!
If you guys like this one you should absolutely check out Snarky Puppy's "Lingus (we like it here)"
You guys DO know by now that the guys singing with Jacob is “Take Six” right? Cameos by Q , Lionel Ritchie...😊
On a sidenote, Jacob has to have 128gb of RAM in his computer. Otherwise it can't keep up with his brain. That's WILD Y'all
Please Do MOONCHILD Album Voyager! Or The song called Money
note to self: watch Jacob Collier's All Night Long on mushrooms
We want djesse 4 😊
If you guys like him, you should check out Dirty Loops. Signed by Quincy Jones, they are incredible musicians and they know how to make the technical really accessible. Check out Next to you, Hit me, Rock you. You won’t be sorry!
awww you paused it! (yeah, what up wid dat man).
He sings in a way that makes pitching easier. Trouble is, the timbre as a solo is not pleasant at all. Harmonising it’s not bad, bit like a dull or bland version of the beach boys harmony.
"people over profit." comrade? ✊
Meh, just because you know music theory doesn’t mean you need to use every single trick in the book for one song…
Sure the harmonies are technically amazing but I don’t like this more than the original - or even 1/2 as much.
As an exercise in music theory it’s astounding but outside of that I don’t think it has very much utility.
There's always a few people like you and it's alright, but just know you are flat wrong when you say pieces like this are just harmonic exercises. It's complex because jacob knows complex, he's not going out of his way to make it so any more than a regular person makes their song simple. Then as for the taste for harmonic complexity, we need only look at how contemporary classical gets treated by the average music fan to discover that any one person disliking something says nothing of its beauty or ""utility"".
@@dopaminecloud There’s always a few people like you who assume that others are not technically inclined nor have the life experience to make a valid comment on a topic…
That assumption is followed by mild criticism and a cliché “you just don’t get it do you”.
Having been a musician most of my life, played a classical instrument (viola), more contemporary instrument (guitar), and vocal work…I’m more than capable of assessing this piece and I stand by my assessment 100%.
I made a statement of personal preference that was supported with specific detail. You just didn’t like what I said, and that’s ok.
He’s human he can’t play the trumpet.
It should be illegal to use the nickname Dre...
I’m not impressed with this cat.
Quincy and Lionel went to him to learn his stuff
