Joy,
By Earl Hazell (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Play (Audio CD)
I once played "Spain", the Corea tune on this CD for my girlfriend years ago when this CD first came out, and on the first three notes of Bobby Mcferrin's entrance after a poetic introduction by Corea, she burst into joyous laughter. This CD will make everyone from the straight ahead jazz purist to the every now and again jazz appreciator to a six year old child laugh and dance. There is beautiful work on this CD...and hearing it now is a reminder of what is missing on the radio today...when you comin' back Bobby M?

THE Standard by which others will be judged!,
By Dale M. DeSteffen (Manitowoc, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Play (Audio CD)
This is a MUST for jazz enthusiasts. Like anything exceptional, most people won't like it, so don't bother playing this CD for friends unless they share your tastes in music. Excellence in any endeavor has a narrow audience, but for those who appreciate greatness, its appeal cuts deep. This recording cuts to the bone!! McFerrin is precise,inventive, and able to vocalize like an instrumentalist with an immense tonal range and expressiveness. He has no peers. And Chic Corea plays jazz piano with instrument mastery usually reserved for world-class classical pianists, but it's REALLY jazz, not Yoyo Ma (a master of the cello, world class) trying to play jazz, displaying amazing musicianship, but showing he just doesn't understand what jazz really is. By contrast, both Corea & McFerrin are masters of technique but are jazz masters as well.Most of the cuts are note for note arrangements of earlier jazz classics: Spain (Miles Davis);Blues Connotation( Ornette Coleman). " Even From Me" is a collaborative composition by Corea And McFerrin based on a 4 note vocal bass riff repeated over & over, creating a foundation upon which each weave their unique jazz creations. The entire selection of pieces sound improvisational, but are tightly arranged. Perhaps the best reason this is a "must have" recording is that the music is FUN. It makes you feel wonderful. It's not depressing bluesy (that can be good stuff too). It's not the frenetic dissonant cacophony of Thelonius Monk. It's just the best piano/vocal stuff I've heard. And it's fun-- they just play. Just buy it. Don't worry, you'll be happy.

A must for fans of Chick Corea, Bobby McFerrin, and jazz. It's hard to belive this is just two people. Get it now!
