It sounded really disjointed & artificial to me so pretty much unlistenable after about 30 seconds.

[Roland Rock]

Disjointed and artificial can be a good thing, but then I'm into glitchy electronica.


This is a bit muso-fusion for my tastes, but I'm pretty bowled over at how multi talented this guy is.

Very talented guy, but the groove has been processed right out of the tune. Quite a lot of that sounded a bit like a fight in a music shop.

[Dan Dare]

Clever, compressed to death machine music. No doubt he'll do well making commercial jingles

[M@23]

Even if you don't like it. He's undeniably an extremely talented musician.

[ambient]

He's immensely talented, a natural musician.

I think he was studying at the Royal college of music.

He's also now playing for Grammy award winning Snarky Puppy.

[Bilbo]

Can't deny the talent but I find it unlistenable. Hate the affected voice and choice of material (turd polishing?). Talented but misdirected, IMHO.

[Rich]

I'm not wild about it, I have to admit. But THIS is brilliant (IMO obvs):

Nope. Cloying. Not his fault I don't like it. He is a talented guy. I just don't think he has found himself yet.

He has some great ideas and certainly has an ear for harmony.
Excellent musician.

Astounding technician. Musician? Not sure.... Don't think he's really got the point. Give him time I guess

I'm sure he'll figure it all out whilst travelling the world amd collaborating with Grammy award winners though, eh?

Or maybe he has found himself but you just don't like it?

The god-like Martin Taylor referred to young Jacob as "the most incredible musician on planet earth at the moment", so he must be doing something right

[bubinga5]

Hes excellent, but i can't help thinking he's not really thinking about the song, but more of his technical ability as a showcase.. He ruined PYT imo. Its just empty.

Well, it worked, job done.
He got a gig with Snarky Puppy.

[bubinga5]

Well i can't argue with that. His musical ability isn't in doubt, i just don't like the way he's put the music together. But if Micheal League likes him who am i to talk sh*t.

We all talk sh*t here on Basschat, BB5, so I wouldn't worry about it.

I'd much rather listen to Martin Taylor.

[leftybassman392]

Not really my thing either, but undeniably impressive technically. These look like showcase pieces to me - letting the world know he's out there. Seems to have worked too by the sound of it.

Good luck to him; a talent like that needs a home.

[RhysP]

It reminds me of the multitracked jingles Kenny Everett used to make many years ago.

[ambient]

If you look on Youtube there are quite a few videos of him playing 'normally'.

There's a nice one here with the WDR big band. I'm not a Stevie Wonder fan, but this is quite a cool arrangement.

Just spotted another thread about him on BC - oops!
Anyway, it links to a glowing live review and this sentence seems to sum up the feedback on this thread pretty well...

"One day Collier will cotton on to the telling power of simplicity. When that happens he will be really something"

[/quote]Now thats what i like. that cements to me what a great musician he is.


I love Falsetto but i would like to hear( which I'm getting snippets of), him sing lower in the range. but yep. he's great. what an accomplished jazz pianist he is.
