    Peter would probably like it and Ben is flippin’ in his grave! 😉

  • Max says:

    This man is the biggest living musical genius. Period.

  • Ruben Greenberg says:

    I’m not so sure he’s a “jazzman” per se. He is -as Duke Ellington used to say -beyond category.

  • Anonymous says:

    His grandfather would be very proud – Joseph Collier, excellent violinist and teacher.

  • NYMike says:

    As the son of professional music parents, Jacob’s had every advantage in fostering his fantastic musical talent. I’ve followed him on Youtube for the last number of years, being bowled over by his multi-instrumental and vocal videos.

  • Peter San Diego says:

    Touching music, touching words. Thank you for sharing that!

  • Mary says:

    By rights, he shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near it.

    A triumph of the ego over self-awareness. Would benefit from 3 years practising Czerny and studying Fux.

    This is what happens when a choral scholar studies the Real Book of Jazz..‍♀️
