Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
Vocalist Bobby McFerrin, best known for his pop hit, "Don't Worry, Be Happy," is a talented vocalist and all-around musician. Beyond Words is a true reflection of his genius, and it takes jazz fusion to another level. Joining McFerrin is the great pianist Chick Corea, with Gil Goldstein on accordion, Cameroonian bassist Richard Bona, Brazilian percussionist Cyro Baptista, and drummer Omar Hakim. Their music is a 21st-century blend of Return to Forever and Weather Report. McFerrin's superhuman vocalese investigates and invigorates a number of musical genres. Corea's spellbinding piano motifs grace the calypso-like "Invocation". McFerrin and Corea turn in a beautiful duet version of the pianist's waltzing jazz standard, "Windows". "A Silk Road" and "Desert Field" are laced with Afro-Eurasian and Arabic colors. Bona's Jaco Pastorius-influenced bass lines anchor the hip-hop oriented "Taylor Made", named for McFerrin's son, whose human beat-box vocals pepper the track. Bobby McFerrin's voice sings, scats and constructs a musical language that's understood by everyone. --Eugene Holley Jr.
Chronique amazon.fr
Bobby McFerrin mélange allègrement les genres, chante au-delà des mots et des modes une musique sans paroles dans laquelle les onomatopées se prennent à danser. Il n'en fait qu'à sa tête. Ses quatre octaves lui autorisent d'inconcevables vocalises, de déconcertantes prouesses techniques. Le re-recording lui permet de chanter a capella avec sa propre voix, de constituer des chorales aux délicieux murmures. Le monde onirique qu'il invente est issu de multiples sources. L'Afrique en est la principale bien que les musiques et les traditions de la planète entière l'intéressent. Il se disperse et c'est tant mieux si ses visions le portent à faire le tour du monde. Ce disque est son douzième. Bien que largement dévolu à la world music, le jazz n'y est pas oublié avec "Invocation", Fertile Field" et "Ziggurat", des pièces que le piano de Chick Corea, la basse de Richard Bona et la batterie de Omar Hakim rendent particulièrement attrayantes. --Pierre de Chocqueuse

Caught me by surprise,
By Bassplayer "rwhamann" (Windowless room with no portable electronic devices) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beyond Words (Audio CD)
I've been a rock fan most of my life, but since I've been playing bass I've been listening to a lot more jazz. I bought this disc because Jazz Times gave it a good review. It's a great jazz album, but I was totally caught off guard by how much I enjoyed the world music aspects of the disc. Bobby's silky smooth lyrics just grabbed me, and the disc is now a permanent resident in my cd-changer.
