(173 posts)3. Jacob and Chris, a few details for y'all
Jacob is known for "creating" harmonies? My first experience was with the song Moon River (Link below). It is an a Capella version and contains about 30 snippets from guest vocalists, one being Chris Martin.
Jacob creates musical intricacies and involves the audience as an instrument.
Moon River:
Chris Martin is a vocalist, pianist and co-founder of the rock band Coldplay, one of the most popular bands in much of the world. I was fortunate enough to have won tickets to their concert at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena a bunch of years ago. I used to work as a concert reviewer/ interviewer and the Coldplay wrist bands turned 85,000 + people into a living light show, a part of the performance. I've been to literally hundreds of concerts and hadn't experienced anything like that before.

The process and how the audience gets it is fascinating. I've loved Coldplay/Chris Martin from the beginning.
