[@nizzaz]

Thank you Jacob... Growing up, "All night long" was a song I'd only ever heard on the radio, by chance, because no one played that kind of stuff at home. But it had a massive impact on me. I thought it was so good that I recorded it on my mini cassette player. I was fascinated with everything in it.... that intro... the magical summer evening feel, the strings, the backing vocals, the restraint before the hook, the "play on play on play on play on", the instruments I couldn't identify... When I first watched this video about a month ago my brain became overloaded with sounds and images and I didn't get it at all. I thought I didn't like your cover. Yet for the rest of the day it was stuck in my head. So in the evening I had to come back to listen again. And man, when the strings came in I just started crying. I couldn't stop! I was overwhelmed with emotion. You'd brought to light what this magical song is all about, with such love and care, and I was feeling it on such a deep level. What a true celebration of music this is! What a forever fiesta... I am so grateful. Thank you for your love of music and the joy you bring

Mozart was not a genius because he could play instruments at the age of 5, but because of his own original melodies. He wrote 600 original pieces that will never be forgotten. Jacob is an extraordinary musician but he’s not pushing the music scene further, he is recreating songs with advanced arrangements, but I cannot think of one song of his that could be called as a genius melody that will never be forgotten. You don’t have to be a genius to do genius music. I hope He realises that soon and starts doing something original and innovative.

He’s not a one man band, he’s a one man orchestra, in a league of his own. The man is music itself. He’s been inspired by many but he’ll be an inspiration to musicians for centuries to come. Keep doing your thing Jacob ✌🏼❤️🎵🎶

Today, on a day I consider to be the first day of the 5th lifetime within a lifetime that I live and I only heard this piece by you at 5ish pm in Oz. Lionel recorded and released one is the most I influential pieces of pop history with All Night Long at a time when I was just beginning to find out who I am and I couldn't think of a better anthem for that period of my life. I'm 58, I'm a child of Disco, I'm an HIV+ survivor of a war still being carried out against my community and you are bringing together the best kind of "army" (yeah, I hate it too) to push back this last gasp of the 19th & 20th Century "old guard" that have always tried and always failed to hold back the human spirit. Sing Hallelujah!! (90s dance classic) and let the Rhythm of the Night (another 90s masterpiece) carry us all forward!!! Dance my Children, DANCE!!!

Very late to the party, this is spectacular. Right up there with Prince. I'm going to be stuck to my chair for the next 24 hours scrolling through everything he's ever done. Feel like I've just entered a parallel universe, music is the master, Jacob is the king.

Dude better late than never!

Beyond prince.

[@JonnyCooper]

Prince would only have wished for a fraction of this genius

[@SolarMumuns]

I think Prince was just as much a genius in terms of style (I think a better lead singer too by a long way), but Jacob's genius niche is his stretching of the fabric of music in the way Bach did with harmony. All three geniuses, just in different ways

[@patrickbujard4983]

Quel magnifique arrangement et quel beau clip. Nous serons la pour écouter et chanter le 26 juillet à Marciac. Merci

[@artysanmobile]

I’m so impressed by your commitment to use an orchestra, the greatest musical instrument, to realize your fantastic arrangements. I know well what it takes to go that extra hundred miles. Time and money requirements are just a whole different world. Word Of Mouth was my baptism by fire and remains, 38 years later, my proudest achievement largely because of the time and attention devoted to the orchestral work. Beautiful and inspiring, Jacob.

[@lisabadger7910]

What I keep thinking, enjoying his work repeatedly, is that Jacob is making unbelievably complex jazz that is warm & uplifting, not angry or dark, the ever-trendy option. He doesn't exclude us, but welcomes us.

[@ophello]

Music’s purpose is to bind us together and to elevate all listeners beyond where their feet could carry them.

[@thabodennis]

I love how even in the complexity of the arrangements , there's still that groove that regular music listeners can dance and enjoy.

[@Nowhy]

Regular music listeners never dance, except when they were a toddler. They also don't enjoy anything (always on the rush or drag or lost in an eternal moment aka. the illusions of youth), because they are lost in nostalgia and memories (which have nothing to do with enjoyment) or romanticism about another time than the past (most live in the past though) - in short, they just imagine to enjoy.

His music ability is obviously out of this world, but the fact that he's able to be so charismatic. It allows him to take everyone with him on a journey into his mind. Truly one of a kind. Now don't let mainstream media ruin him. :)

The thing I love about this is that all with the technical brilliance and genius ideas, the love and joy of the song is still front and centre. It's musically so dense and complex, and yet still so full of feeling. It expands and amplifies the feeling. Not an easy feat. What a legend.

[@adilbektemirkhanov6750]

Jacob, I am a musician, keyboardist, pianist and music producer with visual impairment here in Brazil. I came to your channel on the recommendation of my music teacher, who spoke very well of you. What spectacular ideas of arrangement, my friend! What a beautiful thing. You’re literally a genius. He managed to make a sensational arrangement at the height of the song. You are living proof of how it is possible to be creative and listen to songs like this (known) in a different and fun way. I vibrated a lot at the moment the solo of metals, piano and bass appears. It gave me a pleasant feeling of joy, happiness, ecstasy.... Very good indeed, fantastic! And those "take 6" voices? Just great. I’m still looking for decent samples of voices like that for my keyboard. Who knows, all of a sudden, we’re partnering to create a realistic take 6 sample with expressive joints like vibratos, etc. Already imagining the next arrangement for the song "Cidade Maravilhosa" (anthem of the city of Rio de Janeiro) in Jazz... :) All the success in the world for you. I’ve become your fan!
