      I kept being upset when the camera panned away from dodie because I just wanted to watch her watch Jacob! I've seen performers like that before, where even when they're not actively playing/singing they really elevate the experience by being visibly happy/moved. One violinist in particular (Gil Shaham) just GRINS ear-to-ear when he's not playing and the energy is really infectious, and I felt similarly watching dodie.

      It’s cool, isn’t it? McFerrin discovered that we naturally sing pentatonic scales in this kind of situation. Jacob has also figured out how to get people to sing notes outside of the key (without telling them to), but it takes some clever chord movement and a slightly modified hand direction. Check out his masterclass in Mexico City from April 2024.

    If Jacob is not the new-born Mozart - who is then? He is the same out-of-the-box genius as Mozart was in his period. Simply amazing …

    The way Jacob controlled the audience like a piano was breath taking. To keep track of what each section was singing and give clear enough directions that they could all follow it was ridiculous, and then for the orchestra to come back in and everything was still on pitch. But I suppose he knew that would have made microtonal adjustments to the audience if necessary or a big choir is a self regulating pitch instrument.

    I was so close to tears watching that. I've loved Dodie's work for a long time, only fairly recently found Laufey (via a Tiny Desk concert) and Jacob (similar means of discovery). Jacob Collier is a gift to us all. Wow! Mesmerising!

  • @skidroe83

    Caught this show on PBS last night. Absolutely astounding!! I have Ben Folds music in my library, but I had no idea he was so into symphony music and also encouraging the younger generation of musicians. These 3 performers were amazing, of course, and watching the NSO perform was so enlightening. But the topper was Jacob's idea of directing the audience to sing. I've never seen such a thing and it's hard to believe, really, that this random audience could perform like they did at his direction. I'm so glad I recorded the TV show and have not deleted it yet. I gotta watch it again!

      Jacob does this at all his concerts. It's come to be known as the Audience Choir and it's well worth your time to check out the innumerable UA-cam videos of him doing this at concerts all around the world. If you like this, you should check out the Mahogany version of his song Little Blue on UA-cam. If you aren't crying by the end of it, there's something wrong with you. (Make sure it's the Mahogany recording and not the album version.)😉

    • @tactus72
      @tactus72 Місяць тому +6

      Yeah, Jacob is like a musician’s musician. Except for collaborations, he generally plays every single instrument on his albums. His career began with those fantastic choral arrangements of Stevie Wonder and the Flintstone covers that got him discovered by Quincy Jones. So, I’m guessing he attracts a lot of musicians to his concerts (me being one of them I used to sing in a classical choir).

      Ben has a long history of working with orchestral setups, seeing this comment a month later. Check out the Ben Folds Five album "The unauthorized biography of Reinhold Messner", specifically the song "Magic". He also has an album with yMusic, a sextet, and there's a great recorded concert of Ben Folds with the WASO orchestra live in perth. A lot of his later Ben Folds Five and some of his solo work has been a lot more compositional.

    There is some thing about singing together that is a real sweet spot for humanity. Instant connection and joy. I wonder if it's not really so much about how the audience choir sounds, but how it feels to them😊
