Personnel includes: Bobby McFerrin, Robin Williams, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, The Manhattan Transfer. Bobby McFerrin is heard in prime form throughout this date, which was the follow-up to his classic The Voice. A few of the numbers are taken unaccompanied, and these include memorable renditions of “Thinkin’ About Your Body,” “I Hear Music,” and “Ma?ana Iguana.” Pianist Herbie Hancock duets with McFerrin on “Turtle Shoes”; “Another Night in Tunisia” (taken from the Manhattan Transfer’s Vocalese album) features McFerrin with the vocal quartet and Jon Hendricks; soprano saxophonist Wayne Shorter interacts with the vocalist on “Walkin'”; and an eccentric “Beverly Hills Blues” has “assistance” from comedian Robin Williams. A continually intriguing release with plenty of wit from the innovative singer. ~ Scott Yanow
