@don hosepipe I think you will love this, Quincy Jones' newest discovery. Jacob Collier (18) www.jacobcollier.co.ukHe plays every track of the song (voice/instruments) in a few month work and puts it than together. He studies jazz piano at Royal College/London where his mother is a professor ( violin) With this cover "Don't you worry bout a thing" he was discovered by Quincy Jones and Herbie Hancock. Pure Imagination Isn't she lovely I saw three ships Oh what a beautiful morning The Road not taken This year Mother's day with his mother Suzi Collier My one and only love or last year Here's that rainy day

@andreea If you are in London in August this could be something for you- Good people. I'll be singing and playing some songs at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club late on August 8th as part of the International Piano Trio Festival. If you are in town, bring friends and join us! And come and say hello afterwards – it would be crazy fantastic to meet you all.

www.third-story.com/episodes/2014/12/4/episode-20-jacob-collierJacob Collier is a singer, multi-instrumentalist, arranger and youtube sensation. He’s primarily known for a series of music videos that he posts online, in which he creates ingenious arrangements of songs by composers ranging from Jerome Kern to Stevie Wonder. In the videos, he records himself singing elaborate and ingenious harmonies, and films himself singing each of the parts, dressed in a slightly different shirt and hairstyle. There’s something very sweet and almost naïve about the visual presentation – it’s definitely homegrown and handmade, but the music is so sophisticated, so hip, so smart and at the same time, so beautiful, that the combination of the visual presentation and the music delivers a massive punch. Our conversation feels like a document of a brilliant artist, still early in his development. At only 20 years old, he’s already beyond most musical minds I’ve come across. But he’s also still totally curious, filled with an enormous amount of wonder and enthusiasm for new ideas, musical or otherwise. Here he talks about his personal approach to learning, music and harmony, what makes a groove work, the role of technology for him and his generation, and handling early cyber-fame.

Sorry to say this, but the promo of Quincy Jones Production seems to be a disaster.First video since he has a contract with Quincy Jones and suddenly it is not available in Germany. Georgia on my mind Perhaps they do not want any Germans in Montreux or any visitors in the German concerts. Sorry for my harsh words. His old videos are available. If all this is in the interest of Quincy Jones artists i have my my doubts.Normally I would have linked it in Germany.....but no!!!

http://instagram.com/p/18898eGFka Friends, yo. Finally able to share some very exciting news!!! I am opening for Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea on the main stage at the Montreux Jazz Festival this summer, July 16th. Right now I'm at MIT in Boston, building a mighty machine capable of looping, harmonising, grooving, and on-screen-displaying me all at once, in a solo performance format that has never before been seen or heard (on Earth), enabling music creation directly from the mind of Jacob. This gig will be the debut show. See you there. www.montreuxjazzfestival.com/fr/artist/jacob-collier
