I could have also dropped this onto Edgar's bird thread. But I already bomb his lovely animal thread with digressions of art and music.
Absolutely no idea who Moondog is. Fitting name for an artist from the 1960s apparently. And I'm sure this mix isn't original but a contemporary remix from this decade.
I'm working on this tune now and really liking it:

@izzythepush,
Pretty tasty jazz recording. A throwback kid. How old is he? He looks like he's 15 yrs old? Apparently he'll be 24 in August.
Here's his Wiki bio:
Quote:
Jacob Collier (born 2 August 1994) is a British singer, arranger, composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist based in London, England. In 2012, his homemade split-screen video covers of popular songs, such as Stevie Wonder's "Don't You Worry 'bout a Thing", began to go viral on YouTube. Since then, he has attracted a worldwide following, accumulating tens of millions of views across multiple social media platforms.
Collier's style fuses elements of jazz, a cappella, groove, folk, electronic music, classical music, gospel, soul and improvisation, and often features extreme use of reharmonisation. In 2014, Collier signed to Quincy Jones' management company and began working on his one-man, audio-visual live performance vehicle, designed and built at MIT in Boston.
On 1 July 2016, Collier released his debut album, "In My Room", which was entirely self-recorded, arranged, performed and produced in his home in London. In February 2017, Collier was awarded two Grammys for his arrangements of "Flintstones" and "You And I", both from the album.
