xiii. COLLIER, Jacob: Moon River

xiii. COLLIER, Jacob (1994-       )

Moon River (2019)
Jacob Collier, vocals
(8:50)

From Djesse Vol. 2


Composed by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer in 1960, 34 years before Jacob was born.

Since there are no clunky, well-tempered instruments to get in the way, Collier uses microtonal modulation in his vocals. The Grammy-winning arrangement is already legendary for its extraordinary production.

The video is gorgeous from start (sung by a 144-part choir) to finish.
