That's got to be the most in-tune public piano I've ever heard

[@GiovanniPaladini10]

It's Japan...

[@mofo888]

@@GiovanniPaladini10 I was going to say the same thing.

[@jcthejfreak]

And there’s reverb too

[@goodfella1605]

crazy

[@musicology2510]

And the most on-time public clapping

[@LofiWurld]

If that clapping was anywhere else, by now they would be clapping in 14/80 time signature

[@zoarath]

A Japanese audience seems to be the best metronome a musician could wish for. Also: Well played. :)

[@pietro3948]

Best metronome, best food, best culture, best all

[@robertmoore7896]

Absolutely right.Western audiences would struggle with that beat😂 Japan /Spain / Corea/ perfect 👌🏾

[@JacobKollerMusic]

Yeah. It doesn't always go like that but they seemed to hold it down for me in Yamagata.

[@GameNationRDF]

Only if they clapped on 2 and 4

[@Dorgannn]

@@GameNationRDF have you heard the chick version? they clap on 1 and 3. this isn't a slow swinger...

[@alexeonbel4304]

I liked how you sort of mixed the traditional take of spain and then Chick's akoustic band take of it. You're super sick.

[@JacobKollerMusic]

Thank you so much!

[@gabethebabe8187]

Rest In Peace chick, you will be missed. Phenomenal playing man, you are an inspiration!

[@JacobKollerMusic]

Thanks Gabe! He surely will be missed but his music will inspire people for eternity.

[@MrLightning20]

Omg I didn’t know he passed 😭 he surely will be missed.

[@HattoriHanzo62]

sad day: we all lost a piece of our heart

[@LazyFA]

It took me like a week listening to this song over and over in different versions and speeds to figure out the timing in that syncopated part. Who knew the whole time I should have just been playing it in Japan and letting the audience clapping figure it out for me!

[@JacobKollerMusic]

Haha. They love this song here.

[@sergiomartinez5946]

The original version has quarter note claps over it, for anyone interested....

[@LazyFA]

@@sergiomartinez5946 yasss that's how I finally got the timing down!

[@mii-mu2751]

ジェイコブさんが、いらしてたなんて！信じられない😂いつも立ち寄っているあの辺…すぐ近くで演奏を聴いてる方々が羨ましいです。

[@xenomuller7322]

in case anyone is wondering, the intro of this bad boi is quoted from the concierto de aranjuez by joaquin rodrigo :)

[@kirakiraeriko2172]

ジェイコブさんが弾く「スペイン」は感情と尊敬が入っていると思います。音もリズム感も最高。 素晴らしいです。

[@JacobKollerMusic]

ありがとうございます😊

[@ashkumar330]

That part of Japan is so underrated for visitors. I randomly decided to visit Yamagata & Yamadera on my first visit to Japan and is it to date one of the most beautiful experiences I've had. The people of that region were quite easy-going as well.

[@user-cj2er6mn1y]

リズムが「そう！ここ！！」って言うめっちゃクチャ気持ちよきところに入ってて聞いてて楽しい…！！

[@JacobKollerMusic]

ありがとうございます😊

[@flyingbeep]

Just imagining Chick's Spain surrounded by the locale of Japanese Jazz, it actually turned out so much more appropriate than I thought. Or maybe I just love Spain haha

[@rogerjamesmusic]

Crowd really energized the performance.

[@hirorororoki]

スペインを聴いて盛り上がらない人は居ないってくらい素晴らしい曲をストリートピアノで聴けるのすっっごく羨ましいです笑

[@jefffelderman2409]

Somewhere up in the sky, Chick is smiling that "eternal child" smile of his. If this wonderful music doesn't make you feel great, nothing will!

[@Hyuntube996]

Unfortunately he was a Scientologist

[@Mrissecool]

The chromatic left hand ascensions gave me goosebumps every time. Absolutely genius. I thought this tune had been done to death and back by everyone already but this is amazing.

[@danieldinkel701]

By the way the crowd is holding the time you would guess his name was Jacob Collier...

[@travo6805]

Lol ya it's funny how Jacob Collier's audience is composed of almost exclusively musicians, and as a result, Jacob is able to do some crazy things with his audience at concerts

[@lien863]

Spain is one of my favorite songs. Your new "Yamagata flavour" version is also phenomenal! I am sure that Chick would have loved this reharmonization!

[@JacobKollerMusic]

Thank you very much!

[@maximecloutier-gravel8908]

Talk about a good crowd, that's why I love Japan !

[@user-zc7mm8sk5k]

先日亡くなったチック・コリアさんも空から喜んで聴かれてたと思います🎵

[@user-cn2ez5pi8o]

チック･コリアの『スペイン』｡イントロにロドリーゴの『アランフェス協奏曲－第二楽章』の一部分を使う事で､音楽の枠をあっさりと取っ払うことで､音楽にはジャンルの区別などないとの音楽本来の持つ豊かさと奥行きの深さを表現する作品ですね｡ 　日射しの強い南欧の國スペイン｡それには敵わないけれど､日射しを一杯に浴びての中での演奏が本当に素晴らしい｡軽やかなリズムとメロディラインの持つ力強さそして所々に鏤められるジャズ独特のアドリブ｡本当に贅沢な一時をたっぷりと堪能させていただきました｡その場に居合わせた聴衆の皆さんが羨ましい｡

[@gabesmith9171]

Wow- if Chick heard this he would say “I know that’s me, but I don’t remember playing this there...”🙌🙌

[@user-vx2em6wu4u]

[@orlando4166]

That's Chick's level, congratulations Jacob; You are global. I have also been surprised by the taste that the Japanese public has for jazz, in fact they have great artists in this genre. Finally, I am surprised that they have a well-tuned and good-sounding piano on the street.

[@user-et6kv7hx5i]

音の美しさやバランスの良さはもちろんですが、圧倒的なリズム感もジェイコブさんの魅力ですよね。山形の皆さんの手拍子もサイコーでした💕最後の決めポーズもカッコよかったです🥰

[@ykkcykkc]

一時期携帯の呼び出し音にしていたぐらいスペイン大好きです！コリア氏亡き後も永遠に曲が生きてることに感謝し演奏してくださるJacobさんに深い敬意を覚えました。

ありがとうございます😊

[@kairusan420]

been going through a lot lately, to say that your performance of this song put me to tears of joy is an understatement, thank you for sharing this

[@bobdelciello1451]

To see him add his own complexity to a technically complex piece is otherworldly. Chick was one of the most technically gifted pianists ever.

[@rosemaryr9332]

This is my favorite performance of "Spain" I have ever heard. I am fascinated by the performance that produces a pleasant and sparkling sound.
