Program notes
Immerse yourself in the unique and extraordinary musical universe of Jacob Collier at the 2025 edition of Jazzopen Stuttgart! When he was still just a teenager, Collier’s creative and extraordinarily elaborate, multi-layered covers on his YouTube channel won the young Londoner millions of cross-genre fans, including the likes of the legendary Quincy Jones. The renowned jazz trumpeter joined Collier on stage at the premiere of his first album, In My Room, an album of original songs and covers written and produced by Collier himself in 2016. Between 2017 and 2025, the multi-instrumentalist and genius of complex harmony amassed eleven Grammy nominations, winning five. His eclectic, experimental musical style; impressive four-octave vocal range; vibrant personality; and ability to make music accessible to all make him one of the most talented and admired musicians of his generation.
