'Mouth Music' has a photo of a smiling McFerrin, thinly-wrapped dreadlocks hanging down, in an incongruous white tie and tux; and the first cut is Overture to 'The Marriage of Figaro' by the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra-conducted by Bobby McFerrin. The 2nd cut is the jazz standard ''Round Midnight,' with Bobby's smoky, faux-trumpet solo lead, Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on bass and Tony Williams on drums. Next is 'Song for Amadeus,' Bobby's improvisation on Mozart's Sonata No.2 in F Major,' with Chick Corea on piano. The 4th and 5th cuts are 'Pavane, Op. 50' and 'Minuet' from String Quintet No. 1 in E Major, Op. 13, with Bobby conducting the Chamber Orchestra and providing soaring, joyful vocals, especially on 'Minuet.' The wonderful, rhythmic a cappella 'Circlesong 1' and 'Circlesong 2' are followed by a sublime 'Hush Little Baby,' 'Flight of the Bumblebee' and the surprising 'Hoedown,' with Bobby's freeform vocals accompanied by Yo-Yo Ma. When we have a tendency to think that singers and other musicians aren't really so special, a CD like 'Mouth Music' will show us exactly how extraordinary they can be. A beautiful CD from Master Bobby and his talented guests!
