      Thinking about paralel fourths, perhaps it was inspired by the Javanese gamelan debussy saw at the world expo. The only other explanation would be if he heard a rock musician play power chords.

      You could argue Clair wore it better. But the comparison is apples and oranges, aesthetically speaking. One is an arrangement of one overdubbed skilled human voice many times, the other, an orchestra of many skilled players resonating in the same room. The aesthetic difference is huge and therefore, the comparison almost moot.
      Also nothing is new, as Debussy was doing this 100 years ago. We all steal.

    I think the context is just too different, it's so hard to say. I think if it's just the individual phrases I prefer Clare's arrangement, but I absolutely adore A Noite as a whole. It feels like a much more compete piece. Considering A Noite is basically it's own track then that isn't exactly surprising. The passage that leads into the phrase you talked about in your video is just so dissonant and crunchy, I love it (ua-cam.com/video/4PIMR_oGRcU/v-deo.html). And using that to almost descend/calm out of it into the bossa style track is just so clean. Would love your thoughts on that?
    Although there's no doubt Jacob's taken massive inspiration from Joao's music, and definitely potentially that piece specifically.

    Whether or not JC had this in mind, it's too brief a moment to describe as 'stolen' in any dishonest sense.

Interesting observations should not be used as pretexts for false alarms.

    Indeed, the list of "almost stolen ideas" is pretty huge (no offense). I used to be a big fan when I listened With The Love In My Heart (and I just got waay stunned) but slowly I started thinking there's some kind of "emotional barrier" he simply can't break through. It's like he seems or feels more like a performer and arrenger trying to be a sing-songwriter and suddenly you just don't feel anything. I do not intend to fall into the classic cliche "music doesn't have to be complex to be good", I'm a jazz musician myself but there's something nearly wreid with his music lately. In a nutshell, I look forward to Djesse vol 4 buuuut

Although there are several examples of songs, musical motifs, or Jacob's melodies that are very similar to previous ones, the important thing is the subsequent development that is given to the song, which Jacob knows how to give us. What I feel lately is that his emotional genuineness is almost nil. His songs sometimes seem more like a "salad of ideas" where the emotional is totally overshadowed.This, although it is a personal assessment, is something that I share with many people, especially Spanish-speaking people, like me.
