Musical polymath, multi-instrumentalist, harmonic badass, and all around cool dude Jacob Collier's insanely impressive cover of All Night Long.

Jacob Collier previously and previously-er.

If you love the spicy chords be sure to check out Adam Neely's reharmonization of Thank U, Next.

This has warmed my cold cynical heart today.

It's neat to see him with a group like Take 6 who is obviously an inspiration for the type of things he does. Seeing them reminded me of their collaboration with k.d. lang for the Dick Tracy soundtrack "Riding the Rails", a song I hadn't thought of for probably 25 years at least and is making me feel very warm as well.

Thanks for sharing this.

I was like, "MAN this sounds like Take 6." And then I was like, "Oh, it is!"

Thanks, I added a Take6 tag!

Haha, I also thought, Wait, are those guys Take 6?

What an amazing kid, and I didn't expect such a deep voice to come out of someone who looks so young.

Gonna have to watch this about 20 more times to catch all the cameos and intricacies. .
