Jacob Collier: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

- The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
July 9, 2020 | Colin Marshall -- Polymath musician Jacob Collier has been championing this style of one-man-band music videos since 2012, singing every note and playing every instrument. His cover of Stevie Wonder's "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing"earned him a devout CZcams following at the age of 19, and he hasn't slowed down since. The London wunderkind owns four Grammy Awards already, including two at the age of 22 in 2017, and his evolution as a bandleader has been evident in his live performances ( like when he came to NPR for a Tiny Desk concert last year). Now 25, and with nearly a decade of experience producing every aspect of his own music from his home, Collier is uniquely positioned to crank out his best work from quarantine. In this video, each of the four parts was recorded in a single take. Pay close attention ; it's easy to get tripped up inside Jacob's head as he arranges this Rubik's Cube of a video production, which feels both like a magic trick and a no-strings-attached bedroom session.
Since the pandemic hit hard in March, Collier has been hustling in his Internet-famous room. He's played duets over Instagram Live with the likes of Chris Martin, JoJo and Daniel Caesar, recorded a song in his bathroom, and he's in the middle of releasing his ambitious four-volume record, Djesse. The last song in this video is the premiere of his new single "He Won't Hold You," which will appear on Vol. 3, due out later this year.

it's so rare to see a band where all members are equally talented.
Um, this is one person. The same person playing all the instruments.

@@anthonyscott5134 wow seriously? 😮
@@dakalbino , Yes, seriously.
I’m a professional musician - studied classical music at college and all that, so I’ll make an educated judgement here. All I can say is: it’s unfair how talented you are.
actually it is not. because he could also be talented and being an investment banker doing no music at all. the miracle is, that people are born with that gift, and actually be aware of it!
@@hurtnar And … have the opportunities to nurture and develop those “inborn” abilities. Education, a loving home, hierarchy of needs met.
I wonder how many potentially brilliant children never got a chance because their circumstances failed them; poverty, war, unsupportive parents, no parents.
@@tigeechan2040 true| He was born into a familiy of musiscians so his inate talent was nurtured and educated...he was born "speaking" music.
A.K.A privileged.
@@polyo4038 omg, shut up.
If there's ever a galactic music competition, earth should send this guy
YES
Along with a cloned J. S. Bach.
SHOW ME WHAT YOU’VE GOT
This is not only one of the funniest comments i have ever seen, its also probably the best way to describe Jacob Collier. Like if someone asked about who Jacob Collier is, you'd respond with this comment. lol
nah, he'd get disqualified for his inhuman abilities
I can see that each of them have their own grammy.
this is the best comment on this website
It did just happen! For at least two of them ahah
Wait, there's 4 Grammy's on the Rhode, there's 4 of them in the room. Theory confirmed!!!
And their own granny! Swiss Uke
add one more to the list 👀
the really cool thing about Jacob is that we haven't seen his best work yet. he's young, still learning about himself and what he wants to say.
that's so true🥺if he's this good now imagine how incredible he's gonna be in like 20 years
Exactly. This has been my main comment on him. It's like Mozart writing an opera at age 10; an astonishing feat. And great music. But at this age you just haven't physically lived enough to gain certain experiences. (I just realized e.g that at age 10 Mozart had not even entered puberty.). But the stellar sense of harmony, melody, rhythm, the ear, - all that is in place. JC will only get better. graycrom, have you seen the performance of JC with Snarky Puppy doing 'Don't You Know'?
Or things might go downhill from here. Nah don't think so
I, on the other hand, suspect that he will only perfect his musical talent, but will never have anything to say. I admire him for his technique but he doesn't give me any emotion.
@olio sutela that's what it is! That's why i can't quite get into him
I don't think enough people have an appreciation of just how freaking incredible this production is. Jacob created a 16 minute music video with multiple tunes, all incredibly complex from a harmonic and rhythmic perspective, yet he a) has no sheet music to guide him, and b) he recorded it four times in order to create this final project. We are not worthy... ;) It's all in his head!!!
Did he create each individual part in a continuous take of all the songs? That's insane.
Agreed agreed. Even just knowing when each Jacob should speak or start playing is difficult enough. The man is a master craftsman and well as musical genius.
Agree. It’s amazing. But I do think quite a lot of it is in a click system in his headphones.
@@Ikbeneengeit I was asking myself the same thing. The way around it if I was thinking like my non musically inclined self would be to record the unedited version of each position, but then record separate audio and just play the perfect version of the audio for each instument/vocal. You see the constant footage for each version of him, but the audio has no mistakes. But we are dealing with a savant, so I imagine it was filmed in 4 successive takes of (video is 16:12 long) approximately 1 hour, 4 minutes and 48 seconds of perfection
@@mogglieI'd be surprised if he didn't have cues along with the click. But its Jacob Collier we're taking about here, could be 16 mins of improv
the four grammys on his keyboard is such a flex
5 now lol
I think he requested each one of them to be tuned to a specific note
It is still HALF of what he deserves
literally just notice them.. 😂
Did you catch where he "dings" one at the 0:36 mark? That's a flex. Just another instrument. Haha.
Bassist: Jacob Collier

Jacob Collier: your favourite musician’s favourite musician.
Very true
Or your favorite musician if you are a musician.
No i think my favorite musicians favorite musician might be stevie wonder(just guessing, since he said he was his biggest fan)
Absolutely not, collier may be talented but his music just isn’t that influential
@@ethanghoura5551 He is influential to Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones, etc… also… he has four Grammys? 😂 It’s ok if you don’t like his music, and not everyone will, but the dude is undeniably influential and is many musician’s favorite musican. I had a professor at my university break down some of his harmonies in 2014 when jacob was only 19 years old. Dude influences a lot of people.
These guys should start a band. They sound pretty good together.
Not bad tbh, with a little practice they might just make it
isn't that one guy
😂
@@dannyDC01exactly. that's the joke.
I heard they split up due to musical differences. Jacobs' going solo now.
Underrated comment
which one?
this is so sad
@@calebfudrums alexa play despacito
lol
Heard someone say Jacob Collier has big time "home school energy" and I've never been able to stop giggling about it.
I was homeschooled and this makes way too much sense hahaha
@@CalebM-Music same this is actually so funny
lol
Omg so true hahahahaha
Yep definitely.
The guy on bass is pretty good.
The vocalists were on point.
The pianist was killing it
The drummer was bringing it
10:34. He Wont Hold You is simply staggering. I havent been moved by a song like this in literally decades. Sometimes I cant get a song out of my head, but in this case I cant get this song out of me...like all of me. Period. Speechless.
Jacob looks like a kid who woke up on Christmas morning, literally any time I see him
Edit: I was prettyyy toasted when I wrote this comment, surprised to see it got so many likes-
Lol true
lol he actually played Tiny Tim on A Christmas Carol (from 2004), so I can see a theme
That look is always very attractive in a man. Contrary to popular male ego distortion notions...
facts
This is an absolutely perfect description.
can't believe I'm watching this for free.
You’re not
I listen to his music on spotify too and have an abo, so i hope he earn a bit with it.
Dumb comment
@@jdst7080 why?
@@arno_ka how isn’t this free?
I had never heard of Jacob Collier until a few minutes ago when I saw a 2 minute video of him explaining harmonization. I was mind blown. Start searching him on CZcams and come across this gem! Again, mind blown! Now excuse me while I spend the rest of my day off discovering his music!
Same
Welcome to the infinite JC loop!
Same 😭😭🔥
Here from the same video lol
Same
Jacob Collier has now become one of my favorite human beings to ever walk this planet. :D
One of the four favourite human beings? 😅
not only did he go off on every instrument. He had to do all three songs in one take for each instrument and sing correct harmonies for twenty minutes...
I think this is a seriously underrated comment. What he's doing is INSANELY difficult (because of course it is Jacob Collier). Like he's clearly not playing along to any track or metronome because even the banter is done in one shot. So he has to keep track of every single instrument and voice's moment that he's playing including all the ones he hasn't yet played. I'm assuming the piano and keys was the first take because that seems to be the easiest one to build off of, but even then there are so many changing rhythms and dead space in that one part that his internal metronome must be absurdly accurate. This is an absolutely astounding feat.
He’s a genius, underrated af
@@kevinolivares8597 I mean, you say underrated, but he does have four Grammys sat on top of his keyboard 😂.
@@JacobTShipley course hes playing to clicks and cues. Maybe not always though. That doesnt diminish the feat at all.
Actually I think at least the drums aren't recorded live with the video. At 9:15 you hear hi hat and kick he doesn't play in the video, so I think he recorded them before/after, fixed stuff etc. In other parts you can hear overdubbed stuff. So yeah don't get me wrong still super cool, but definitely not all live in one take
The fact that there's four of them actually explains so much.
Is it because there are four volumes of Djesse?
youtubeuserdan 🤔😊
its because of the four grammy he has
thats not possible, its just video editing dude.
@@unfortunatelygnarly nah, that's not true. I've seen them in concert and I can confirm there's four of them.
“He Won’t Hold You” is one of the most beautiful harmonizing I’ve ever heard. Bravo
7:53 even the drum stick falling out of his hand onto the ground kind of keeps adding an interesting little rythm
Yep. Loved this moment. Dropping the drumstick, picking it up and keeping on rolling with it was such a 'live gig' moment. He rolled with it like a champ, and it makes it all the more amusing and impressive all at once :)
This is how the only smart kid from the group feels doing ''group'' work
i couldn't think of a more descriptive metaphor, thank you
the middle jacob: "not true"
Aside from the incredible writing and musicianship of these songs. The fact that this video isn’t edited is absolutely mind blowing. This means he did all of this in one take, flawlessly... four times. Even more impressive, remembering the in between conversation. When people do these types of videos where they have multiple versions of themselves, there’s a disconnect between the versions. This actually felt like there where four of him jamming and talking to each other. Very hard to convince and he did it. Didn’t know there could be so much talent in one video. Truly remarkable.
This time a thousand. I am continually in awe that I live in a time with this genius on the same planet.
He's been doing this for years, it shouldn't be a surprise. And then, he's Jacob Collier, is there something he can't do?
Yeah i'm imagining there are plenty of outtakes on this one to get it right but probably less out takes than most humans would need
Tom Veselý the ussual videos are not one take. And also he record the audio first and then the video clips.
@@cokecl He definitely did not record audio first and then the video after - he's too good to waste his time like that
This somehow feels live. I don’t understand how that’s possible
My God. Honestly. The pants alone are amazing. Dude’s a genius.
It's 2 am now. I'm gonna get married at 10 am. I can't sleep. Wish me luck, guys.
Great choice of video to watch before your day. Hope you had a great wedding. 👌
Hope you had good time!
Congrats!
If you need luck wished then maybe it’s not the right choice 😂 I wish someone had told me that before I got married!
congrats how did it go?
Somehow hearing Jacob refer to himself as ‘we’ feels completely normal and sensible.
Lol LITERALLY😂
He contains multitudes
@@Ojisan642 I think they’re referred to as “octaves”
0:00 - All I Need
4:29 - Time Alone With You
10:34 - He Wont Hold You
I come back and watch this a few times a year.
At 7:52 Drummer Collier drops his drumstick, and a few seconds later Bass Collier looks at him. If that was staged that was pure wit. If it wasn't that was pure wit.
He probably recorded the drums first and after he made the mistake he decided to throw in the look
What Futility the bass seems to be the last record. Is which speaks over the other in the pause ( he knows how much time has to wait)
He just happened to turn his head to that direction.
@@DobBylan_ yeah looked like he wasnt looking at the drummer just the general direction
you can tell in which order he recorded by the ''my name is jacob collier'' part. the bass came before drums, so it i'm sorry to inform you, all it was was wit. groovy wit.
Would not doubt that he has actually cloned himself. Hes just that good
For real. He has the technology and brain power.
If youre just that good you’d have the ability to Clone yourself
Man of M U L T I P L E Gifts/Talents
it's his prestige
Not true
"I never was misunderstood, baby, since the day you met me" I honestly teared up a bit here. Don't know why, never done that before.
I understand!!!!!This is a remarkable song. I sent it to everybody I have ever heard of! Shine on!!!Shine on!!!
I love the fact that the Jacob on the floor denies everything the Jacob on the piano says. these details make it even better
*No editing has been made to this video; Jacob's just figured out how to duplicate himself in real-time
as one does
I don't dare like this
Musical (and possibly a theoretical) genius 🤣🤣
For anyone who watches John Oliver: he does the same thing the Olsen “twins” do, go back and forth reeeaaally fast
Kage bunshin no justu - Jacob knows the ninja way
Legend says there's nothing playing in those headphones. He timed the whole thing by himself.
They’re just a style choice
Legend? That is a scientific fact!
Brilliant
I'm afraid so, lol
Universal knowledge
This video alone should win all the awards. He makes it look easy but this is incredible.
While I am here trying to figure out how to make a decent sound with a triangle, Jacob multiplies himself and jams on every single instrument in the picture. Even his voice sounds like polished mahogany. Legend. I am pretty sure he can see music. That's how good he is. Thank you for making the world a better place, young man!
He may be the most successful guy who still lives in his Mom's house in history
hahahahahahah
Billie eilish

Pete Davidson idndidndkk
Hahaha so true and for some reason seems totally appropriate lol
So nobody's gonna talk about how he played his own Grammy as an instrument at 0:36?
good catch hahah
I completely missed that the first 3 times I watched it...
@Ryan Ward I thought the grammy was making the bell noise not the water drip.
Somebody already did
Casual thing to Jacob
this version of "He won't hold you" is still my favorite one.
Love watching Jacob play with himself
That made me laugh
Ayo
Being Jacob is like wanting to be yourself.
A beautiful thing
Well said
What does this mean?
@@55jemmz5it means not being afraid to be different and following the norms set by others, but do something YOU think is music... no standards here :)
If you want to be an a-sexual music virtuoso

2nd tour: With a band of friends
Next tour: *Duplicates himself*
Would be so cool if he could do holograms at a show and every song he switches instruments
Does a Logic breakdown at home while on tour
1st tour was all about duplicating himself
Andy Chamberlain Music But this time in 3D
Matt Smith he literally did that
They have great chemistry together
Jacob is a Sound Engineer/Producer's dream, but they will never know.
i know 🫡
He mastered the shadow clone jutsu like he mastered every instrument ever.
Well, soon he'll be kage above all kages. Ahahaha
Kage bunshin no jutsu!
if jacob was an anime character he would have every power. he would also keep getting better every day
thats how he mastered all instruments. Made a shadow clone for each instrument, and began his journey to become hokage of the sound village
I love how the four best musicians alive collaborated in one song
I just hope they don't spread the virus to each other, it would be a shame to lose any of them
Not to distract from the genius but i was the 69th like on this conment
That hit really hard when all the jacobs started fading away and he was left in his room alone. Excellent art in what was such a hard time. Thank you NPR and Jacob!
Jacob is the future, and he's not the only, luckily. I deeply love his hyper natural instinct with music and how to use it to join people together and commit them into unbelievable performances. He's a true genius.
What other talents of the future would you recommend? I’m on discovery mode :-)
@@RainbowSunshineRain there are many more... well, some of them play one instrument only, but they have all the future in front of them to do amazing things.
imagine being so good that flicking one of your four grammys as percussion actually just comes across as cute and fun and not arrogant. Never loose your spark Jacob. You're magic
I hope he looses his spark even more often! But never loses his spark :)

He is just casually flexing his four grammys like they mean nothing. I love this man.
and he used them as a triangle 0:34 😂
Just found Jacob today from a recommendation and am just blown away.
This is about my 6th vid now and just proves his genius.
The only person I can compare him to In outright talent is prince, only Jocob is a new generation.
At his age doing this?
He could be our generations Mozart.
We are really blessed living in a time where some of the greatest geniuses in each area can freely explore all their potential due to almost no concerns about equipments or basic human needs (food, medicine, security, etc.).
We could enjoy the most of it if we only admire them and stop thinking we never could match their abilities.
Well said.
Well... not all actually
The guy in the back kinda looks like the guy on the left
Nice catch!
Now that you say that, the other 2 look quite similar too...
It’s the lighting.
They are obviously brothers
Kamari Rain Jacob said cousins
There are now like 4 versions of "All I Need" with 3 of them being recorded and videoed since quarantine haha
5 versions:
studio version
Jimmy Kimmel bathroom
tiny desk
jools Holland
BBC acoustic version
he record all of that at the same day haha, he's fcking jacob fcking collier
@@nathanielatkin304Also an alternate snippet of it he posted on Instagram before the doorbell interrupted
Do you have a link to the BBC acoustic version?
And every one of them being excellent and equally re-listenable. Just facts.
he should be classified as a band category in google
These harmonies make me feel like a warm bowl of soup on a cold winter day.
7:55 Jacob on drums makes stick fall, Jacob on bass just look at him like "man be careful".
This is just genius, we have no idea how ridiculously skilled you have to be to do a one shoot 16min live session with yourself, including talking in between song, synchronizing every Jacob to play on time, memorizing the whole live set..
It is humbling to say the very least.
Man i just realized that im so mind blowed
Yes, I have an idea ! It's out of this world !!!
I've been thinking about this from the very beginning of the video and I think I have a good idea: he recorded the keyboards first, then the drums, then the bass and then the vocals. Due to his amazing memory (which we all know he has) he was able to remember what happened in which previous take and reference it later (also letting his future self some room, like the bass player talking before drums).
This is all that I wish I could do, but would take me waaay too much time and effort that might be better spent elsewhere. :)
What an intelligent artist. Complete alien.
@@maldivirdragonwitch I'm pretty sure he has a 16 minute click-track set up for the whole performance, which he hears through his headphones. The click-track also probably include good cues on when exactly to say specific things, et cetera. It wouldn't surprise me if he even made 4 separate click tracks with demo versions of all the instruments, e.g. when he records the piano he hears the demo version of the drum, bass, hang and the other vocals. That's at least how I would do it and I cannot really think of a different way to do it. Still it's absolutely incredible how tight all of the parts are given that everything has to be single-take, this performance is really really awesome.
I like how “sassy floor-Jacob” is mocking the other Jacobs.
He is FLOOR GANG
jazzy malazan
I love when sassy floor Jacob gives bass Jacob the stank eye for playing a too busy fill.
(Not true...)
betinho cai matando you know me so well 😆
0:34 I know this man did not just play a grammy
I love when Jacob plays with all of his brothers!
His mom taught him...WHOA!!!
drum stick drop at 7:50 makes me think its still possible he's a human being
the recovery tho
Didn't even notice that! As a drummer that recovery made me laugh out loud!
i want to believe he recorded the drums before the bass take and bass jacob is giving drums jacob a casual "nice recovery man" look at 7:58
It’s not how you drop stick, it’s how you pick stick up again
omg i didn’t even see that 😳🙈
I feel bad for whoever's scheduled for the next Tiny Desk Home Concert...
It’s Tom Misch and Yussef Dayes- we good!
@@globalsoundconcerts The legend sound engineer!!!!!
Knowing that Tom and Youssef are next nearly made me cry fr, this channel is just too good
I JUST noticed the panning in this. My God, the attention to detail...
I've said this since I first heard about/saw this guy LIVE several times a few years ago: He's truly the FIRST Musician who's effectively, musically & creatively synthesised the past 60 years of Music into a very personal, unique and compelling style. A TRUE Original who's "stolen" from everyone while continuing to make it happen! I LOVE this guy!
If everyone was Jacob Collier, there would only be peace and harmony.
Definitely a lot of harmony
And negative harmony
We would also have interstellar travel and flying cars. History would record him developing the relevant technologies at lunchtime, on a Tuesday, whilst enjoying a cup of tea.
And everyone will have perfect pitch
NPR producer: This is a four person job
Jacob: got it...
I found this really rather moving. Clearly an exceptional musician and performer, but the way it concluded, in particular, struck me. Like when you taste something you need to savour, not taint. It left me sat in silence. Wonderful - you have a new fan.
I sat here and then repeated it about five times!!!!
3 years later and this continues to be my all time favourite video on all of CZcams
0:34 Jacob plays his grammy without anyone noticing, and at that moment, he won music.
no way. Didn't notice, that's amazing.
Nice catch - subtle flexes are the best flexes.
I noticed that!! I love him so much
Wow, i did NOT see that haha
I remember hearing that but I just assumed it was made by the percussionist Jacob on the floor
HE HIT THE GRAMMY FOR PERCUSSION.
I died and came back twice 😂😂😂
He's been using the Grammys as instruments since back in the IHARMU days, when he only had 2 of them (and yes, they are tuned differently and make different notes! LOL) They're probably all over lots of his other music too, as background noises that just don't make it into the videos.
I missed it, what time did this occur
He's already won a Grammy for a song that had a Grammy as percussion ("All Night Long") 🤣
@@antoniohatch5170 0:32 (for context, actual grammy hit at 35)
What a talented family. I wonder it worked out that they all learned different instruments? Must be a joy creating with your family like this.
Show Me What You Got!
Earth: we present Jacob Collier
He's becoming too powerful. Jacob Collier is reproducing mitosis-style and soon all of us normal musicians will be replaced by the hivemind. We are doomed, but it's an apocalypse I gladly welcome
Resistance is futile...
I, for one, welcome our Collier overlords
LEGEND!
At 7:41 he literally looked over at an invisible version of himself to acknowledge the tasty bass lick... There is nobody like Jacob.
Lol true! 🤣💯
Yep, and bass Jacob turned around to look at Drum Jacob after the latter dropped a stick. This guy is superhuman.
Muy bueno. Soy de Chile y la he pasado muy mal en estos días, pero siempre que quiero subirme el ánimo escucho esta joya
I keep going back to this. The healing power of this concert is magical.
When I listen to his music, I know that I'm witnessing a really nice human being who doesn't show an ounce of narcissism or self-absorption who just happens to be gifted and skilled like a super-natural being.
There is a small line between self-confidence and narcissism. And Jacob manages to never transgress it. (Because he isn‘t capable of)
a true narcissist wouldn't let you see that about them lol. Some of the most talented and compassionate people are geniuses at appealing towards others though there are different levels due to intellect but yeah man you get my point. I am not saying jacob is a narcissist just letting you know
You read my mind. Jacob is undoubtedly one of the finest musicians this generetion will see
I wouldn't say he is gifted - rather he worked hard and really honed his craft through an unsatiable desire to learn. I would say the craving to learn and improve yourself like Jacob does is the real 'gift'. We could all be Colliers but we lack motivation which is sad
@@RayyanKhanRayyanKhan no. Most people even with his work ethic couldn’t reach a level like this.
Introducing the most innovative musician/video editor/director. No way this man sat through 4 sets of the same performance with perfect timing on ALL songs, jokes, transitions. No way. And then looked at the himself when they were talking.
The previous tracks are in his headphones , not that difficult
@@boarderking133 Yes, but the first track would have to already consider what was going to occur in the future tracks. There are no sheet music or scripts. Put it like this: Imagine he was doing a stand-up comedy routine, with himself as the audience. And the audience were heckling him and he's responding to that. He would have to keep time to something that hasn't happened.
Jacob has shown his editing innovations in several other videos, but this video was most definitely created with the assistance of Ben Bloomberg. They both posted about the room mics on Instagram, Ben probably helped with setting the clicks and cues.
I know was able to do it. But that he was able to think of all of this and the perform it. Imagine getting to the third song on the last take and dropping a stick or hitting a wrong note (probably impossible for Jacob tho). Just amazed at his precision in timing.
0:35 I love this part and I’m going to keep repeating it
This is so crazy 🤯🤯 all of the Jacobs seem to be enjoying each other’s presence and playing off of each other like a band!! 😅 I’d be so curious to know how long this took to record all the parts!!
Every part in a single take?!?! Yoooo
He won't hold you is absolutely breathtaking
King of the masking tool and playing every instrument.
Perhaps the only home concert from these series that was recorded in an actual home
Editing the video around the stick-drop must have been really fun
I have the feeling that this will be his most popular video yet. The illusion of 4 Jacobs is so strong that that the comments are jokingly gonna be like “it IS 4 Jacobs”, because it’s THAT good. It really DOES feel like there are 4 Jacobs in front in the camera. He pulls off the feeling of a live concert while it be pre-recorded. It demonstrates both his musical and video-editing abilities (and above all, patience) in one vid. I really think this is the performance that has captured the entirety of his skill that EVERYONE can understand. This is the video I would show to anyone who is unaware of him, which, thankfully, is getting increasingly difficult.
there really is something special going on in that brain!!
"which, thankfully, is getting increasingly difficult" - but not in my country, in the Russia! )) Поэтому я покажу его всем ))
Incredible artist that boy is....He is definitely up there in my favorite artist list
Not just musical and video-editing abilities, but also planning abilities (although that might not seem as cool). I'm pretty sure he's already recorded each track, and then muting the one he's recording video for so that he can be in complete sync with the other tracks. Basically, I think he recorded this concert 8 times (4 times audio only). I could be wrong though, he probably has a bunch of tricks that he's learnt over the years.
i believe its two jacobs and two twins...
Man his attention to detail... even made sure that the wide angle mirror showed both the drummer and the piano player in real time.
🤯
congratulations for the editor who made the images together, with the right to easter egg
Francisco Marcano same person recorded at different times
I don't think that's editing... At this point I'm pretty sure Jacob is able to create real copies of himself to perform with him
Wow! I didn't even notice that. Good catch.
Tiny desk has gone way above ❤
Just incredible. Looking forward to the new record.
I'm so impressed with how his songwriting has evolved. This is some of the most soulful writing in the game, and he's using his technical proficiency to support the songs rather than overpowering them with 'look at how good I can play'.
Maturing exponentially...
...only JC!
Well said. 👏
mark prater I agree so much, that’s the major improvement between now and Djesse volume 2. In 2 he’s kind of just flexing his musical skills and doing everything to the extreme, whereas now he’s simply making incredible music!
@@DHawkBeats I think that's more of a thing in In My Room and maybe in vol. 1 but I felt vol. 2 was really subdued when it had to be, and the grand stuff was justified and kept coherent mood with ups and downs in the album. I mean yeah Moon River was extreme but it was definitely good extreme.
I think you’re confusing ego with imagination. We’ve all gone through the days where we were all just so excited about different sounds that we just put it all in there.
...only Jesus Christ!
Great playing, but he is setting a terrible example by not properly social distancing from himself while playing.
It's okay, they live together
He has formed a pod with himself. All good.
My thoughts exactly!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😭😭😭😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Jacob’s music never fails to give me hope and happiness, and that’s what I appreciate about him
