Jacob may have as much knowledge as Cory, probably even more. But Cory is just better at applying that the tastiest way possible. Jacob just shows us how far music can go and he keeps surpassing his limit.
That moment will be for ever my "f**k you" response to anyone that annoys me! Example: eat this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-teUHOhGo31s.htmlm47s
Many orchestras simply don't cut it with great shit like this, often just not tight enough, maybe simply through their being an orchestra (and consequently spread out across a big stage). Time can become a little elastic and where in a more classical format that is possibly kind of ok, for anything with an element of funk / groove to it can frequently prove disastrous - or at least rythmically pedestrian. So hats off to Metropole and their particularly propulsive drummer and bass guitarist for giving this so much drive in all the right places, supporting Corey's genius and making me smile. Yes, the Hammond should be a bit higher in the mix and Jacob's contributions are virtually inaudible, but otherwise a good mix and as commented by others, an impressive, effervescent performance.
Bingo, oldnoiseboy -- all your points are spot on! It's true that the huge footprint of a full orchestra ordinarily makes pinpoint timing of music like this nearly impossible. Here, the individual monitors eliminate this variable, but what a huge task the soundcheck must have been that day! I doubt that the audience heard the same mix we did. "Our" mixdown was probably done well after the performance. But Jacob and Cory were strangely low in it (especially Jacob). I hope a reworking can be done and released.
Bart Kaptein I am so in agreement. I haven't heard of these guys till I watched Harry Connick Jr. New show On NBC. I saw collier prrform and looked him up. Great show! check it out.
All of these ppl are great musicians and i love Jacob but i dont think ppl undersatand that Corey is not reading the music on most of these pieces, he's playing from memory and improvisation. Tht is a whole other stratosphere of musicianship Corey Henry is a BEAST!!!!!!
Wow! Amazing version! Thanks for share it! Impresionante versión del "Call Me Mr Tibbs", que Quincy Jones compuso para la película "They Call Me Mister Tibbs!" de 1970, en manos de la Metropole Orkest junto a Cory Henry y Jacob Collier durante el North Sea Jazz de 2017, con arreglos y bajo la dirección de Jules Buckley . La película era la segunda parte de una trilogía protagonizada por Sidney Poitier como el policía Virgil Tibbs y la banda sonora de las dos primeras partes eran obra de Quincy Jones. #BigBand
It's wrong much Jules is enjoying his job! Some of us have earthly jobs and studies! We can only watch while they have a time of their lives. Imagine, if we're enjoying this so much, how much more the performers must be loving it!
I doubt he was intentionally muted. He wasn’t featured in it anyway. And sure, he may have added something neat in between somewhere maybe, but I’m betting he didn’t.
Le bassiste nous a fait une cavalcade à la Jaco. Bravo a tout le monde, je crois que je vais aller faire une petit tour à Rotterdam pour vivre ça la prochaine fois
Steve Murray Agreed my friend. The BBC says there are copyright and contract issues which only allowed 30 days free access. Take a look at the BillieJean from the same prom.
Great performance showcasing two geniuses unfortunately let down by lousy mix ... Jacob almost inaudible. Was there no mic on the piano? Engineer asleep? Unplugged cable?
Every time I listen to this I feel like somewhere on the Mediterranean coast someone is breaking into a safe of a corrupt rich old man and getting away with it.
dear Metropole Orkest, please change the thumbnail image from one of some random guy in the orchestra to an actual shot of Corey, who happens to be the soloist in this piece. thanks.
