You should collaborate with Jacob more in the future Jacob!

[@PlektrumPlays]

True

[@GuyWhoLikesTheSnarkies1435]

Nah, he would be fine only collaborating with Jacob from now.

[@VincentSteenstraToussaint]

Please don't change Jacob. You're a gift to the music industry.

[@VincentSteenstraToussaint]

Indeed! The music should always come first, like you say. What I meant to say was that I think Jacob could have a very positive influence on the current industry with his awesome grooves and delicious harmonies. Something other artists could learn from, and implement in their own work. =)

[@modernlacuna]

He's going to be one of those artists who isn't that well-known among music listeners, but is a huge influence on his and coming generations of performing/creating musicians. I mean, take one look at his fan base already - Jamie Cullum, Herbie Hancock and Quincy Jones!

[@apouw]

[@Proghead88]

3:05 is one of my favorite musical moments ever. Listen to the Hi-Hat!!! I always crack up every time he goes from the quintuplet all the way down to 1 note per beat. Even more interestingly, the subtle shifting gives the illusion of the next subdivision before you get there. Perfectly imperfect. Like a controlled demolition. You're hilarious Jacob.

[@erinwilliamsmusicbwu]

He is AMAZING live. I would definitely recommend going to see him if you ever have the chance.

[@erinwilliamsmusicbwu]

Some of it is playback but I would say most of it is live performance. He even shows how he layers beats together and performs multiple parts in real time using looping pedals and things like that. It is really awesome.
