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 "Mañana 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
