I could write a thesis on the easter eggs. Of course my favorite is his mom Suzie on violin. I love how George Gershwin's face pops up right as JC quotes Fascinating Rhythm in his piano solo. The cameo by his Moroccan Gnawa friend Hamid El Kasri near the end, playing the wonky gnawa groove which is so similar to the wonky samba groove that permeates the arrangement. The hyperspeed resrospective of his entire career in the first few seconds. The backwards quote of Lionel's original, also in the beginning. How he plays one of his Grammy's as a percussion instrument right after the wiggle wiggle, in a song that itself went on to win a Grammy. Steve Vai and Quincy on chords. How the bass doubles the piano at the end of the super fast piano solo. How the Oakwood Aeolians join in in the mid song crescendo.The bear hat, given to him by Genevieve Artadi of Knower. The African drum he scratches early in the first verse as a shout out to his song Hideaway. If ur a producer you cannot miss his Logic Breakdown of this song, many secrets are unlocked.

Lifelong jazz pianist here. This is probably my 30th view and I still get tears when the music opens into the live crowd singalongs and the hundred JC voices. This is a magnificent opus, and nothing he has done since striles me as deeply - though there is some great stuff, none as powerful or moving as this.
