He's been called the Mozart of Gen-Z, which IMHO discounts his genius.

This guy is incredible on the Piano! Corey Henry and him are the only two I can trust for an out of this Galaxy Solo! Definitely worth the price of the ticket!
Agreed. Amazingly, Jacob Collier is a self-taught instrumentalist and composer. In concert his musicians are not improvising but, as with the music of Quincy Jones, all parts are pre-specified in full symphonic scores with vocals, melodies, harmonies and rhythms that are micro-tonal, sophisticated, complex, and emotionally moving.
In comparison, most musical "artists" sound like wannabe Tiny Tims serenading their Miss Vickies on the ukelele.
Um... shouldn't this topic be in DYes CHIT-CHAT ROOM??
Not Detroit related, except for a concert appearance...
It's a big deal because only a few years back an artist of his stature would have by-passed Detroit entirely -- instead might have appeared in Ann Arbor. I'm confused as to how you presume to be the DYes gestapo...You're like the busy-body neighbor who watches out her lace curtains to ensure no children step on her lawn
Not my idea of a good time.

Thanks for the heads up. He's a loose affiliate of the LA based soul/funk/jazz revival thing going on, that includes Louis Cole, Vulfpeck [[technically from Ann Arbor) Snarky Puppy, Scary Pockets, etc...
Here's Collier, Louis Cole [[Drums), Sam Wilkes [[Bass) jamming out Elenore Rigby:
Now if this guy came here to kick things off at the concert at the 6.6. 2024 concert at Michigan Central Station... it would be more newsworthy on DYES...

Yawn! With all due respect, if readers become aware of Jacob Collier's performance only when D'Yes publishes its weekly list of fun things to do, there won't be any tickets left. Concerts and celebrations are fun, but hearing a world-historical composer is possibly a once in a lifetime opportunity. The experiences are incommensurate.

Well then, if he is anywhere near as good as your hyperbole of him, then maybe... but yes he is very good.
I had never heard of him before this "thread"... but then again, I'm just a boomer.
