Jacob Collier on swing percentage

[snappy_.]

When Jacob explains swing percentages, he gets an applause from the crowd. When I do it, people say it’s boring and that they can’t even tell the difference. It really is inspiring to see someone so brilliant talk about this tho!

After Jacob explodes your mind and you don't know what to say: "Can we get a round of applause?"

Grammy but still prefers no shoes, nerf him.

My classically inclined cronies still have not heard of Mr Collier. I do hope he gets the wide recognition richly deserved. Old uk duffer here :)

the only madlad that goes to an interview barefooted-

i absolutely adore this man 💖

[davidmceathron]

This is my favorite video ever to have existed

[yoosh]

that's ok... how many velocities does it have though?

The fact that his perception of swing is through the numerical representation is enough to reason the tediousness of his ‘jazz’. Like, if that’s the precise way of perceiving swing, then AKAI S1000 can do that better than us.

Whiplash: you need to get a higher swing percentage, buddy, or we won't make it to nationals.

Clicked solely because JC is barefoot. Not disappointed in the least.

I like how they changed the chairs after the Bill Burr interview

Oh, is that Kevan Kenny? lol I recognize him because he once also interviewed Dimash for MTV 💜

Try Scottish 2/4 marches, the swing percentage on those are through the roof I think

[SelfPropelledDestiny]

"I eat BPMs like that for breakfast! So perfect!"

What happens when your parents tell you that you are great at everything.

[GhANeC]

I guess he needed to go there barefooted

[DanFlashes]

so he's played around with swing quantization in his DAW... not exactly deserving of applause but ok
