Summary:

Jacob Collier's first words for this 2019 masterclass at La Petite Halle in Paris are "How's it going? Good to see ya." It is a full seven minutes before he speaks again. In the meantime, he conducts the kind of call and response harmonic dialogue that only he could pull off with as much charm and sincerity. In fact, this kind of audience engagement is becoming a hallmark of Collier's live appearances. At times, the swell of sound and clapping can seem hectic, indistinct. Yet despite this, Collier's capacity to chart precise tonal pathways shines through. It is a theme that he continues throughout the rest of the session, covering topics from harmony to rhythm, and finally: life. Throughout, he fosters a spirit of spontaneity and freedom, willingly giving the floor to anyone, at any moment, who wants to interject. Particular highlights come when Collier demonstrates his points through showing specific examples of the music he loves to listen to. **Rowan Standish-Hayes**.
