Generalprobe der WDR Big Band: Michael Pipoquinha spielt gemeinsam mit der WDR Big Band unter der Leitung von Thorsten Maaß seinen eigenen Song "Cearensinho". Als Solisten sind Chris Mehler an der Trompete und Flügelhorn; Jacob Collier am Rhodes.
"Collier’s YouTube videos are brilliant yet bewildering as multiple incarnations of himself simultaneously create 14-part vocal harmonies and play a daunting number of instruments – clearly this was always going to be a challenge to reproduce live on stage. Yet thanks to his connection with Jones, Collier’s all-encompassing vision has been brought to life by a kindred-spirit in the world of advanced music tech, in the form of Ben Bloomberg of MIT in Massachusetts. He’s created a highly sensitive vocal harmonisation unit and found a way to seamlessly blend real-time performance with sophisticated backing tracks – while enabling Collier to loop various percussion, bass and keyboard parts on-the-fly without any awkward computer glitches. Adding in the video elements to all this was the ace in Collier’s pack, with a live image of himself projected onto a screen at the back of the stage. This was taken to another dimension when he began playing vocalised chords, each key produced its own Jacob face – momentarily creating a virtual choir that perfectly matched his oohs and ahs. If that was clever then more was to come as he began bouncing Tigger-like from one instrument to the next, on opener ‘Don’t You Worry Bout A Thing’, the smart video technology capturing each successive sample, then, like the music, looped the video in place. The result being a small group of Jacobs playing like a virtual band on the screen behind – and all credit to Will Young and Louis Mustill from Artists and Engineers, who created the technology to do this."

Friends! Many of you have requested lessons and masterclasses over the last few years, so I thought it might be time to host a couple days of online masterclasses, live from my music room at home.
'A Basis of Harmony & Groove' ➠ https://goo.gl/BEUpGO
'Advanced Harmony' / 'Advanced Groove' ➠ https://goo.gl/PH7LXg
'A Basis of Harmony & Groove' will be two large-scale masterclasses broadcast via Stageit. All people and creatures of all abilities are welcome. There are 40 tickets available to each, and anyone with a ticket can tune in from home and participate through a live group chat feed.
'Advanced Harmony Hangout' and 'Advanced Groove Therapy' are smaller sessions, broadcast via Google Hangouts. 9 people and I will talk, face to face with group video chat, about some of the most wonderful and insane realms of harmony and groove, with in-depth live demonstrations and interactive discussions.
More details in links above! See you there, peeps.
