	Bobby McFerrin
		Bobby, the a cappella legend, may have crossed the line into the land of accompaniment on "Beyond Words," but let us just say that there is accompaniment, and then there is Chick Corea on piano, with musicians of similar stature on bass, percussion, drums and guitar, and Bobby himself playing the Roland XP-80 synthesizer.
		Bobby McFerrin is known to commercial audiences by virtue of the monster radio friendly hit, "Don't Worry, Be Happy." However, to judge him by that one song is like evaluating all automobiles by the Edsel.
		Listen to "Blue Bossa," where Bobby's gutteral growls menace and alarm; or the heat-infused "Friends," which is a sultry Al Jarreau type contemporary jazz tune; "Spain" is a tour-de-force, where the singer alternates between providing the percussion and bass accompaniment to the piano with a panoply of vocal sounds.

		McFerrin is a serious musician, in the sense that he treats each note with skill and love for the genre (classical).
		McFerrin is a master of jazz vocalise and improvisation, while Ma is a master of straight classical work: Up meets Down, In meets Out, Over meets Under, Scribble meets Straight Line, Improvisation meets Structure, and the results are a beautiful Between.
		Bobby uses his voice as a fantastic sounding 'instrument' to sing notes much like an instrument playing a duet with Yo-Yo; sometimes his voice sounds so much like a real instrument that you even forget that you are hearing vocals--I don't even know what other vocalist could pull this off.

		This consistency is a germ of a musical idea, which Bobby apparently taught to the singers by rote -- one of the main tenets of the music herein is reliance on "oral tradition" as the means of communicating the music from one performer to another.
		The last album I purchased by Bobby McFerrin was "Medicine Music", in which he explored everything from Latin grooves, to old time Spirituals, to celestial choral chamber music.
		Let me say first that Bobby Mcferrin is my hero, not only for the ground he continues to break in the music industry but for his great improvisational and virtuosic talent.

		McFerrin is talented, engaging, fun, and yes, often refreshingly silly.
		As with the Ave Maria song, McFerrin was most appreciated (at least by me :) when he sang with the whole audience, or -- in several cases -- with several individuals who were thankfully quite competent in holding a steady bass or other counterpart with McFerrin's duet'ing.
		McFerrin is definitely one of those performers who is well worth seeing live due to his winning charm, talent, and friendly charisma.
