Jazz sensation Jacob Collier to play Dublin

Grammy-winning jazz prodigy Jacob Collier is set to bring his one-man-band live show to Dublin this winter.

Collier became famous for his trademark YouTube videos where he sings all the parts, plays all the instruments, and visualises every component with a mosaic of screens. His live show uses a range of technologies, developed at MIT, to mimic this effect and hits The Academy this November 23.

Collier has spent the last couple of years working under the wing of legendary producer Quincy Jones, and has opened for jazz titan Herbie Hancock on a number of occasions.

Collier released his debut album, In My Room last summer. The album went to #1 on iTunes Jazz in 23 countries. It also debuted at #1 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Album chart.

Tickets €27 including fees are on sale now from Ticketmaster and other outlets.
