- PEOPLE, Page 64Yo! Bobby!

- BY MICHAEL QUINN
-
-
- One is a jazz singer who fashions his voice into a musical
- instrument; the other, a classical cellist whose instrument
- sings with the soulfulness of the human voice. Hush, the
- charmingly offbeat collaboration of vocal innovator Bobby
- McFerrin and concert artist Yo-Yo Ma, hits the record racks this
- week: a mix of McFerrin originals and classical standards
- tailored to the talents of the singular duo. As the son of the
- first black baritone to sing at the Met, self-described "opera
- brat" McFerrin needed no introduction to Bach or Vivaldi. While
- Ma lacks a similar background in jazz, his partner observes, "He
- has the courage to improvise."
