The music that got me through 2020

Jacob Collier invites us into his music room to play music that's got him through lockdown this year and performs something himself.

Jazz musician, composer and songwriter Jacob Collier has spent most of 2020 in lockdown in his legendary music room in north London surrounded by a myriad of instruments - a change from his hectic life on tour, giving gigs around the world and releasing multiple albums. It has got him thinking more about music that inspires him, and discovering new sounds. In the first of two special programmes recorded remotely in his music room, Jacob shares music that has got him through this extraordinary year, from jazz, folk, classical, including music by Sir John Tavener, Sam Amidon, Flying Lotus and Scott Walker. Typical of Jacob's eclectic interests, there's an extraordinary range of music of all different genres from all over the world, from Israel to Algeria, Brazil to Northumberland. And as a special treat, Jacob will perform a song himself at the piano in his Music Room.

Jacob Collier is a Grammy-winning jazz vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. He became an Internet sensation in the early 2010s with his layered performances on YouTube, which caught the attention of Quincy Jones. His debut album, 2016's In My Room, reached the Top Three of the Billboard jazz chart. In 2020 Jacob released the third part of his four-album series Djesse which features collaborations with musicians from all over the world.
