We need some Suuuuuuuunnnnnn in our lives!

3/25/2020

 
So who here knows the English-born brilliant arranger, composer, producer, player of zillions of instruments, etc. etc. JACOB COLLIER??  He can provide a little sunshine for me when I give him a listen!  
​Quoting from Wiki:  Collier's style fuses elements of jazz, a cappella, groove, folk, electronic music, classical music, gospel, soul and improvisation, and often features extreme use of reharmonisation. In 2014, Collier signed to Quincy Jones' management company and began working on his one-man, audio-visual live performance vehicle, designed and built at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[3]
In 2016, Collier released his debut album, In My Room, which was entirely self-recorded, arranged, performed and produced in the small back room of his family home in Finchley, north London.[4] In 2017, Collier was awarded two Grammys for his arrangements of "Flintstones" and "You And I", both from the album.[5]
In 2018, Collier began working on Djesse, a four-volume, 50-song album featuring more than two dozen artists and ensembles. The first album, Djesse Vol. 1, was released in December 2018; and the second, Djesse Vol. 2, was released in July 2019. In January 2020, Collier won two Grammy Awards for his arrangements of "All Night Long" on Djesse Vol. 1 and "Moon River" on Djesse Vol. 2.  
PLEASE give a listen to Jacob on youtube (I couldn't link all my favs)  Let me know what you think at your lesson!
