  To everyone...you don't need to know what he's saying. This man is clearly showing that the voice is an instrument first and foremost and that it can be transformed into anything you want. He's immitating basslines masterfully, singing in violin ranges, creating natural effects that give off an ethereal vibe, all while chanting. Normally people need a whole ensemble to do half the things he's doing. Chick Corea is already a freak of nature but, Bobby McFerrin is also a legend. Don't try and label his talent or try to approach it like some science project. Don't call it 'noise'. Just appreciate great music.

  I'm old, so I remember both of these guys in their "prime".  And now?  These are actual Jedi Knights, no question.

  Back when I first moved to LA I used to work for Chick and Gayle Corea at their home in Hollywood. I was their Estate manager. I ran the house and grounds for them. At that time I had a backstage pass to any show he played anywhere. I utilized this when ever I could! An an amazing performer and an sweet guy.  I did catch a show of Bobby and him at a small theater in Hollywood. What a show. Most of the audience were singers and gladly sang along when Bobby asked. I'd never  been in an audience of  that many great singers! They all sang on key and followed Bobby's directions like they were in his chorus. A sweet memory I'll never forget

  Look at Chick smile and look at McFerrin knowing he is one of the best rhythm sections he has ever played with.

  Just hearing of Chick Coreas passing. This is one of the finest examples of a man truly joyful in his art, and of course Bobby is supremely talented as well.

  Their first album together, “Play,” is one of the finest examples of improvisation ever.   No rehearsals, no plans, just two world class musicians on stage, listening, and “playing” together.   It is a work of real genius.

  Also it was awesome what Bobby Mcferrin did with the microphone in the beginning. I've never seen that technique before.

The beauty of jazz, the improviser can never truly be ready for the wonders that await in each adventure...no matter how masterful they are or how many times they&apos;ve played a piece.
