Jacob Collier (UK) + support
On 8th April, Acropolis Palace will become a concert venue for a young musician Jacob Collier, whose show will be undoubtedly one of the most interesting music acts this year. Just 21 years old, this British artist will feed our senses with a spectacular show, featuring the variations of well-known iconic songs of Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson or Ray Charles. Jacob Collier is acclaimed for his ability to master over 10 instruments during his shows, and during his career he has performed with such legends as Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea or Becca Stevens, to name a few. His music blends jazz, groove, folk, trip-hop, classic hudbug, gospel, soul and improvisation. For his fascinating vocal harmonies, inventive and inter-genre approach to music Jacob attracts more and more listeners worldwide and his upcoming album on which he is collaborating with Snarky Puppy belongs to one of the most anticipated music projects of 2016.
Despite his young age Jacob Collier fills in the festival headliners around the world (Montreux Jazz Festival, London Jazz Festival or Love Supreme Festival) and is one of the current YouTube stars. He is coming to the Czech Republic for the first time to perform on the second festival night. Do not miss it!
