When Herbie Hancock played his melody, I thought, "He's trolling! There's no melody in that!!" But it was clear that both him and Jacob can hear endless opportunities for paths and harmonies that far exceed what I can
Lololol right and looked at the camera as if Jacob couldnt live up to the challenge. I like he reharmed and also played the whole riff on the bottom screen as well lmbo
I imagine jacob and herbie have a sort of friendship where instead of sending each other memes they send each other densely layered musical ideas and I am here for all of it.
In addition to Jacob's "WTF? Where did that come from?!" intro, what amazes me is how Jacob took a rather brooding and meandering melody and made it into something gorgeous that made melodic and harmonic sense. It was like a creative move in a friendly game of musical chess. Herbie says, "Check." Jacob smiles and replies, "Check. Mate." ;^D
Girl let's start things off casual And avoid a big surprise By just taking things from day to day Yeah I can see it in your eyes It might just be a figure of speech But if you want we can figure it out with me While we start things off Casual.
When Herbie Hancock first played that melody, it did sound strange. Once Jacob added his backing, it sounded like the melody was meant to be, and it sounded beautiful. The power of backing music and a brilliant mind.
Ethan Richmond from New Zealand where are you?? Even without Jacob that song is smoking but I can't find you anywhere on the net. Would love to hear more stuff....
@dylan foley lol cheers lads.. thats my little cousin.. and i dont even know if hes seen this.. idk how it works. but my first time seeing it.. dope. ill hit him up n show him though.
The raw material for some of these creations is horrendously difficult. (Miss Nolte?) But somehow Jacob makes it work. His absolute mastery of harmony is jaw-droppingly astonishing.
Ethan 0:37 I love your song! your chords and your melody are so beautiful! Jacob what you did for his song it's just perfect and so beautiful! Will you harmonize new Melodies in 2020? I will be so happy to be part of it! God Bless you Jacob you are an amazing artiste and so beautiful and humble guy! You have my all respect!
This man has mastered accompaniment, harmony, and instrumentalism as a whole. God bless you for being so gifted and putting your talent, skill, and experience to good use. I wish I could collaborate with you one day.
Am I the only jazz fan that's geeking out about the legendary uncomparable Mr. Herbie Handcock at the end there!!!!! Great work Mr. Collier I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next.
6:25 Fun fact: Jacob did actually understand this German song and did everything that they sang, I think he learned German in school 😍 Brother Jacob Are you still sleeping Don't you hear the bells ringing Ding Dang Dong
Has anybody seen the ted talk "worlds ugliest music?" I would LOVE to see jacob reharm that, as it would be a big challenge, and also a good lesson in what makes Jacob's harmony tick.
Absolutely Brilliant Jacob. Wonderful use of the harmonic, rhythmic musical language and imagination, tastefully filling in gaps where required. I really love videos like these which inspire musical creativity showing what's possible with higher level harmonic knowledge and skill. I also love what this kind of thing is inspiring everyday people as well as other musicians to do (I heard quite a few excellent ideas from people on this video). I also love what you did with Herbie's wonderful test melody at the end (I could just imagine him rubbing his hands in anticipation and glee). I'll be definitely putting this video on my playlist and will be taking notes. Again excellent upload. God bless
got dang working with Herbie Hancock! I know I shouldn't be surprised since you work with snarky Puppy and Quincy Jones but still. mad respect and mad skills
There are so many beautiful things coming across in this project, not just music but far beyond as well, which is the same thing I feel when I listen to Jacob's music or hear him talk about anything. This is a humanitarian mission transmitted through musical collaboration. Thank you Jacob for putting so much love into the world.
That bit with Herbie is just incredible. Turned an unappealing dissonant melody into a beautiful masterpiece. I've watched just that bit over and over. I don't understand how you do that man, but keep doing it. You are incredible.
How can you explain Jacob to someone when you haven’t quit figured out what he is, or does???? His talents are endless.... Thanx Jacob Collier for all you have done, and continue to do....
The fact that Herbie Hancock is tickled enough to challenge Jacob with a pretty unique/strange melody is just awesome by itself! Jacob is in the major leagues since quite some time ago, hands down! Period. End of story. See ya.
WHAAAT THIS IS SO COOL!! I laughed out loud at his harmonized responses to Boden, fully did not expect (and was very impressed with) his Chinese harmonization with S.T., and was amazed at how he matched each of the backgrounds of Hanks, Kiki, & Gaku (looool at his panting/running at the end). Spent over half an hour watching this because I kept replaying the clips - time well spent!
Yaaaaay!!! Despite my personal bias toward Vol. 1, this is hands down my favorite #iHarmU collection so far! These are all so great! 0:04 Nice, upbeat, morning ditty! (And I vote with Team Beardless, if votes are being taken, lol.) 0:37 Ethan, if you’re listening, the WORLD NEEDS YOUR MUSIC, DUDE!!! Just take our money already!!! 😄 💵 1:32 Simply heartwarming. When I watched this one on a sentimental day, Boden’s purity actually moved me to tears. ❤️ Perfect song selection. 3:17 You better scat, Aimee! 6:04 I’ve only listened to this one about a hundred times (and counting), hehe. So creative. 6:45 Gigi’s serving some Beyoncé vocals circa 2003, lol. Jacob’s harmonies on this one…I can’t deal. 🙌🏾 7:51 Chloe’s voice is so sweet! Love the understated vocals. 10:41 Only someone with Jacob’s genius-level musicality could make such a peculiar melody make so much sense. Without a doubt, these are two LEGENDS. 13:16 yaaasss for the outro!
Mechum22 My man! Appreciate the kind words a lot, it means heaps - and the same goes for anyone who's thrown a compliment my way, thank you 🙏 Feeling very humbled for real. Gonna have to slyly take the opportunity to bring up your Vol. 1 outro too though! haha the funk that came about as a result is the kinda stuff that gets me up in the morning, keep doin your thing brotha ☺
Ethan Richmond Mos def, I appreciate it, sir! I don't know what's in store for you or what you aspire to do, but I definitely encourage you to keep creating as well! And yeah, that outro Jacob added completely blew me away! That kid is insane, hehe. I love this whole project because it shows how fun and collaborative the creative process can be, and it demonstrates that it doesn't take expensive/elaborate bells and whistles to make something inspiring.
Yeah man, exactly! Thats precisely how I feel about the whole thing too. Best part is that we've still got 60+ more of these beauties on the way! Life's good haha
I'd love to know more about Jacob's process for harmonizing/accompanying these submissions. I wonder, does Jacob have to listen over and over and play around with multiple ideas? Or does the idea come straight away? Does Jacob transcribe them? Which ones are hard, which ones are easy? So many questions.
When Herbie Hancock played his melody, I thought, "He's trolling! There's no melody in that!!" But it was clear that both him and Jacob can hear endless opportunities for paths and harmonies that far exceed what I can
Agree totally!
Man I wanted to comment this. I just couldn't place it anywhere, but when the harmony came on it made so much sense.
fuckin hell
HA "you're welcome"
dodie likes jacob collier?! YES.
doddleoddle Its hard not to feel inferiority on Collier videos, unless you channel it as inspiration
doddleoddle WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE. THIS IS AMAZING.
You underestimate how happy it makes me to see you around here! ;)
This is simultaneously the trolliest and yet nicest series ever
goddamn this is the greatest series
rdavidr is it weird that I don't know anything about drums and don't play but still subscribe to you?
woah wtf you're here
You are everywhere!
rdavidr IKR
You ain't lyin' !
THAT BASS PLAYER THOUGHT HE WAS BEING SLICK N HE GOT SLAPPED WITH THAT HARMONY SO DAMN HARD
He was, IMHO...and the result was NUTS!!! ;-)
Jacob is like a super-intelligent being from another galaxy who has just come here to mess with us
Frederico Malaman is one of the best bass players in the world curenntly. Check out some of his work, The guy is awesome!
Lololol right and looked at the camera as if Jacob couldnt live up to the challenge. I like he reharmed and also played the whole riff on the bottom screen as well lmbo
omg the reply was amazing
2:09 something about Jacob harmonizing his own responses is just so wholesome
I imagine jacob and herbie have a sort of friendship where instead of sending each other memes they send each other densely layered musical ideas and I am here for all of it.
he deserved that grammy he got
Both of them!
2 grammys man, 2
Understatement of the year award goes to you ;)
yeah
And he got another two yesterday.
Herbie was like like "Got eemm" and Jacob
was all like "easy"
Chris Adams ikr smdh
LOL!! 4 REAL.
That said this needs to be realsed as a title track on someones cd. Such a beautiful melody and voicings together
Very well said Chris.
In addition to Jacob's "WTF? Where did that come from?!" intro, what amazes me is how Jacob took a rather brooding and meandering melody and made it into something gorgeous that made melodic and harmonic sense. It was like a creative move in a friendly game of musical chess. Herbie says, "Check." Jacob smiles and replies, "Check. Mate." ;^D
I don't think hancock expected him to fail haha
1:05 I wanted to hear this one as a single
Yes, SAME!!!
Devonis Whitaker I really agree with you bro !!!
Thats right!;D
what is the name of the song ?
Me too!!
1:05 'Casual' should be a hit!!
Then "Boden" one killed me..Absolutely fantastic..
2:43 "you're welcome" has never made me quite so happy.
6:43 dog visual harmonization, this is some next level stuff
1:05 is the smoothest one. That needs to be an actual track.
DJESSE
Why am I just finding out about this in 2019??!!!!!!!! This is gold
Me too😂💔🔥
gh1Mikie yea I’m late too
@@godmused my question exactly!! haha
Same!
I just saw it
Jacob Collier's just filling our lives with the toppest of vibes these last few days
YES!
Nice name!
God Lord this is epic
1st like😂
That Ethan Richmond part was straight FIRE!! That needs to be a full song.
Girl let's start things off casual
And avoid a big surprise
By just taking things from day to day
Yeah I can see it in your eyes
It might just be a figure of speech
But if you want we can figure it out with me
While we start things off
Casual.
Tom Misch vibes
That harmonization at 5:28 just kills me.. so soothing
When Herbie Hancock first played that melody, it did sound strange. Once Jacob added his backing, it sounded like the melody was meant to be, and it sounded beautiful. The power of backing music and a brilliant mind.
Wow Federico Malaman 2:45 in is incredible! Possibly the best arrangement even including the wonderful Mr. Hancock.
The way jacob ran to match the harmony of the breathing of the dog...he's hilarious😂😂😂
Bruh that song with Ethan Richmond 🤯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤯
3:01 is the hottest mario kart track of all time
Herbie Hancock for the win! Talent overload right there. :)
Irony?
@@BuddhaofBlackpool no he's a genius
Tears at Boden & Jacob 01:31. So sweet.
Loved Ethan Richmond's voice. Nice little song too! All the best Jacob, incredible job as usual. You never disappoint.
Ethan Richmond from New Zealand where are you?? Even without Jacob that song is smoking but I can't find you anywhere on the net. Would love to hear more stuff....
I totally agree.. Plz Ethan Richmond, put your stuff on youtube!
@dylan foley lol cheers lads.. thats my little cousin.. and i dont even know if hes seen this.. idk how it works. but my first time seeing it.. dope. ill hit him up n show him though.
@@ItzK4M1 please give us his socials. His Instagram would be cool.😂
I know right! I still watch just him in 2019 x
amazing sound he is really good!
I came here for Aimee Nolte, and I was not disappointed!! That intro from 3:47-3:49 was just... 🤯!!! How you harmonized with her scatting was amazing!
Thank you for the great opportunity to be in the same video with all these awesome people!
Jacob this is unbelievable. All the series is one of the most astonishing things I have heard in my life.
The conversation with Boden... so pure... so positive...
Back at ya, Herbie! Returned that serve with an ace. Wow.
Thank You Jacob for choosing our planet to live! :D
Amazing...
The raw material for some of these creations is horrendously difficult. (Miss Nolte?)
But somehow Jacob makes it work. His absolute mastery of harmony is jaw-droppingly astonishing.
The Herbie Hancock one floors me every time. 12:34 is like a fucking epiphany, I should have that moment on repeat for the rest of my life.
Ethan 0:37 I love your song! your chords and your melody are so beautiful! Jacob what you did for his song it's just perfect and so beautiful! Will you harmonize new Melodies in 2020? I will be so happy to be part of it! God Bless you Jacob you are an amazing artiste and so beautiful and humble guy! You have my all respect!
8:15 that bass is literally most amazing bassline i have heard a long time
He went all out with the dude at 1:05
Was the best if you ask me
5:10 OMG that microtonal modulation! JACOB U R CRAZY
he’s actually not human, i think ... bc no other way to explain this
This man has mastered accompaniment, harmony, and instrumentalism as a whole. God bless you for being so gifted and putting your talent, skill, and experience to good use. I wish I could collaborate with you one day.
7:50 I’m kind of obsessed with this girl’s voice on its own
Same ur the only one I see talking about it lol
is it an actual song? if so, do u know the title?
@@GEMOTO yoo thanks a lot
Am I the only jazz fan that's geeking out about the legendary uncomparable Mr. Herbie Handcock at the end there!!!!! Great work Mr. Collier I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next.
Right! He's insanely talented, is managed by Quincy Jones, and is friends with Herbie Hancock! Talk about winning!
6:25 Fun fact: Jacob did actually understand this German song and did everything that they sang, I think he learned German in school 😍
Brother Jacob
Are you still sleeping
Don't you hear the bells ringing
Ding Dang Dong
Aimee Nolte!
alexanderswisher Check her newest vid with Jacob, singing duet together!!
4:05
Man, Herbie's melody 11:06 sounds so atonal. Wish we could hear whatever chords he imagined under it. Would be cool to compare it to Jacob's version.
look at the url
Has anybody seen the ted talk "worlds ugliest music?" I would LOVE to see jacob reharm that, as it would be a big challenge, and also a good lesson in what makes Jacob's harmony tick.
That would actually be really interesting
Publio Delgado already did! /watch?v=7KznWelbjDw
The only man who truly has a right to say "stay tuned" at the end of a video
No words to say how amazing you are...
Love the videos of mimicking the dog at 6:44
More genius at play. I've never, ever encountered a talent like Jacob Collier before! He should get a special Grammy for his "#IHarmU's."
Jacob’s rhythm on 4:01 is epic!!!
I was looking for this comment..He is from another dimension!
He can harmonise everything....even Herbie' s melodies. Piece of cake for him.... 🙂
Absolutely Brilliant Jacob. Wonderful use of the harmonic, rhythmic musical language and imagination, tastefully filling in gaps where required. I really love videos like these which inspire musical creativity showing what's possible with higher level harmonic knowledge and skill. I also love what this kind of thing is inspiring everyday people as well as other musicians to do (I heard quite a few excellent ideas from people on this video).

I'll be definitely putting this video on my playlist and will be taking notes. Again excellent upload. God bless
WOW, the Herbie section just shows Jacob is a special kind of genius.
Thirteen minutes of pure pleasure. My smile just got bigger and bigger. Keep 'em coming!
got dang working with Herbie Hancock! I know I shouldn't be surprised since you work with snarky Puppy and Quincy Jones but still. mad respect and mad skills
5:20 literally beautiful
thi is tooo madddd!!! the way you transformed the boys voice, made it sound so angelic
So I've searched for Ethan Richmond everywhere!! Is that an original song? I neeeeed a full version of that song!!!!
elisia jones its an original :) not even completed, he made it up on the spot 😂
Jordan how do you know
There are so many beautiful things coming across in this project, not just music but far beyond as well, which is the same thing I feel when I listen to Jacob's music or hear him talk about anything. This is a humanitarian mission transmitted through musical collaboration. Thank you Jacob for putting so much love into the world.
My body is ready
Jacob, please don't get bored with us human beings...You're incredible!
Ethan Richmond please show up ad give us the single!!
pozzillone ethan richmond is super talent waiting to be discovered. usher or david foster are you there?!!!
Seriously where is this guy? Best track by far
All over YT, thankfully!
Jacob is simply out of this world man..
the one starting at 8:40 is a masterpiece!
Alyssa Smith harmony sound so great man. Lord have mercy
2:09 i was expecting him to harmonise the "hi" and "my name is boden", but what he actually did was ~100 times better
That bit with Herbie is just incredible. Turned an unappealing dissonant melody into a beautiful masterpiece. I've watched just that bit over and over. I don't understand how you do that man, but keep doing it. You are incredible.
Pure joy. Saved the best for last!
There's more coming soon!
I meant the Herbie Hancock bit in this video :)
It's unbeliveble !! Jacob God of harmony!
awesome with Herbie Hancock
How can you explain Jacob to someone when you haven’t quit figured out what he is, or does???? His talents are endless.... Thanx Jacob Collier for all you have done, and continue to do....
1:05 Is super dope! I would love if it was a whole song
Aimee Nolte fan right here...goooo, Aimee @ 3:17...Brilliance Jacob...you guys ROCKED IT!!
The fact that Herbie Hancock is tickled enough to challenge Jacob with a pretty unique/strange melody is just awesome by itself! Jacob is in the major leagues since quite some time ago, hands down! Period. End of story. See ya.
Those changes for the Herbie harmonisation...Jacob you beauty!
1:05 *puts sunglasses on* ooooo yeah
Hahaa yeah! This dude from NZ can definitely sing! What a voice!
Collier, you are the definition of a 'beast'...
You're a wizard, Jacob.
The one with Boden was the cutest thing ive ever seen my heart just melted help
Ethan Richmond's part OMG 😍😍😍
HOW!?!? HOW does this man not have AT LEAST 1 millions subs by now..... BRILLIANT i tell you...... BRILLIANT.
Gigi Radics....Wht a voice!!!!
Ajo Mathew Yes!
Nah trying too hard.
@@Sora-o she's a professional singer in our country, she usually doesn't sing too much. At least not like that.😅
@@bodogschwindt6407 lol ok
I loved her voice!! Beautiful!! 😍😍😍
ugh. cant stop smiling! the one with boden was so adorable
6:45 she took it STRAIGHT from the Fighting Temptations movie - that's Beyonce's line!
WHAAAT THIS IS SO COOL!! I laughed out loud at his harmonized responses to Boden, fully did not expect (and was very impressed with) his Chinese harmonization with S.T., and was amazed at how he matched each of the backgrounds of Hanks, Kiki, & Gaku (looool at his panting/running at the end). Spent over half an hour watching this because I kept replaying the clips - time well spent!
the one starting at 10:40 is a hypermasterpiece!
Tears in my eyes. Just so beautiful. Thank you, Jacob.
Yaaaaay!!! Despite my personal bias toward Vol. 1, this is hands down my favorite #iHarmU collection so far! These are all so great!

STOP THIS MADNESS
My heart will explode
This is what music is all about.
PS loving the micro's, especially in the Chinese love song, they're so colourful
This guy is literally bringing harmony to the world
1:05 is this what heaven sounds like?
Elenusky1996 Right lol. I need a full version asap
Man your Harmony Heals My Depression My God your Amazing
Ethan Richmond 😍😍😍😍
OMG what lovely people,and what a beautiful and talented man Jacob is to have done this! Thanks.

So many questions.
AlanKey86 I would pay a fortune for a masterclasses with him!
Check out June Lee's videos on Jacob's harmonic theory. Mind-altering stuff.
June Lee's videos are fantastic. I must've watched that music theory interview 5 or 6 times now
lol forgive me!
There are several on YT. Look for them.
"Girl, let's start things off casual..." The world needs this song.
