He's been called the Mozart of Gen-Z, which IMHO discounts his genius.

This guy is incredible on the Piano! Corey Henry and him are the only two I can trust for an out of this Galaxy Solo! Definitely worth the price of the ticket!
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.Quote:

Corey Henry is not of this earth.Quote:

Not Detroit related, except for a concert appearance... :confused:
It's a big deal because only a few years back an artist of his stature would have by-passed Detroit entirely -- instead might have appeared in Ann Arbor. I'm confused as to how you presume to be the DYes gestapo...:confused:You're like the busy-body neighbor who watches out her lace curtains to ensure no children step on her lawn :eek:Quote:

Thanks for the heads up. He's a loose affiliate of the LA based soul/funk/jazz revival thing going on, that includes Louis Cole, Vulfpeck [[technically from Ann Arbor) Snarky Puppy, Scary Pockets, etc...Quote:

Now if this guy came here to kick things off at the concert at the 6.6. 2024 concert at Michigan Central Station... it would be more newsworthy on DYES...Quote:

Yawn! With all due respect, if readers become aware of Jacob Collier's performance only when D'Yes publishes its weekly list of fun things to do, there won't be any tickets left. Concerts and celebrations are fun, but hearing a world-historical composer is possibly a once in a lifetime opportunity. The experiences are incommensurate.Quote:

It's fortunate that Jacob Collier won't be at the Fox.
Western civilization can sustain the loss of Yolanda Adams, Patti LaBelle, Lil Duval, Mike Epps, E-40, DJ Quik, Moneybagg Yo, Daniel Tosh, and their fans, but it sorely needs the Mozart of Gen Z. Every generation needs its genius.

Ilitch Sports and Entertainment stated "the balcony was built to flex and withstand such activity, just as it has for decades."
^ The Fox has the largest unsupported theatre balcony in the world, with a 170 ton girder that spans the long distance from side to side. When C. Howard Crane designed the Fox in 1927, he knew what he was doing... :rolleyes:
Whenever the Jonas Brothers came to the Fox, they always had the fans do a stress test on the balcony...

Balcony shakes at Fox Theatre during concert performance
Quote:
The balcony shaking at the Fox Theatre during rapper Gunna's Detroit concert has gone viral as the theatre swayed to the beat of one of his smash hits.
OK, start the concert without me. I can live without hearing Gunna. I was the guy smoking on the street corner outside the Grande Ballroom while my deaf high school buddies partied with the sweaty lizards inside when the Ballroom's sole criterion for booking an act was that it was LOUD.Quote:
