This guy is incredible. My roommate showed me his "Fascinating Rhythm" and "Don't You Worry Bout a Thing" videos and it's crazy.

Plus, I really enjoy things like this whenever done well. He also has some of his own original music, as well as the covers he does.

Thanks a lot for sharing this! Haven't listened to the interview yet but I've been exploring Jacob's video output and it's incredible!

I am fascinated by this kid! He is only 21 years old! I am just astounded at what he can do.

Check out this video of him improvising after a 2.5 hr concert at the Blue Note in NYC. He sits down with Mathis Picard who is currently touring with Wynton Marsalis, is Julliard graduate and another absolute genius in my opinion. They play for almost an hour! This is epic stuff in my opinion. I love how they just seamlessly switch back and forth.

Aimee Nolte filmed it and if you have not checked out her channel, do so. Aimee is a beautiful soul and is a very talented jazz pianist and scat singer and she has put out some great educational videos. Check out Jacob scat singing with her at the end!! The guy is tireless.

Scatting should be outlawed.

Yeah. He's obviously talented, but I find his shtick gimmicky and a bit silly.

Still earned him two Grammy Awards.

The kid is amazing!
