Agreed. Amazingly, Jacob Collier is a self-taught instrumentalist and composer. In concert his musicians are not improvising but, as with the music of Quincy Jones, all parts are pre-specified in full symphonic scores with vocals, melodies, harmonies and rhythms that are micro-tonal, sophisticated, complex, and emotionally moving.
In comparison, most musical "artists" sound like wannabe Tiny Tims serenading their Miss Vickies on the ukelele.
