Great for kids!

This was one of my favorite tapes as a kid and am glad that it is still around so that I can give it to my sister for her kids. Who doesn't love a good excuse to sing along and make noises all at the same time?


Classic/Jazzy

This is a great c.d. from two of my favorite musicians. It's amazing where Bobby McFerin goes with his voice, and Yo Yo Ma never fails to please; a lot of fun to listen to, and well worth the purchase.

You can hear the fun the two are having

Some recordings sound polished and elegant. Some sound like the artists are having a blast while they're recording. "Hush" is a delightful mix of both.

Most of the songs are pretty quiet save for my three favorites. You've got a lot of traditional and classical music with Master Ma's beautiful playing and McFerrin's incredibly versatile voice.

My favorites:

"Hush" with lyrics by McFerrin
"Hoedown" with vocal riffing by McFerrin
"Flight of the Bumblebee" probably the most fun the pair had

Yo-Yo & Bobby...How do I love thee

This music has a song that I was obliged to have played as my wedding march. The musical is etherial and loveable. Our favorite!!!

The idea here was to put two masters together--one classical cellist, one improvisational singer/sound-effects performer--and voilą! instant amazing, unique, hip--and, hopefully, hit--record. The intriguing setup was to see what would happen when each led the other through the unfamiliar territory of his own specialty. The success of this recording lies not so much in the music or even in the overall performances, but in the fascinating and fun opportunity to sit in on the musicians' good-natured, respectful give-and-take, to witness an uncommon form of artistic chemistry that allows each performer to expand his vision and even his technique. On one hand we get Bobby McFerrin's impressionistic, improvisatory jazz/pop; on the other we enjoy Yo-Yo Ma's highly refined, formalized musicianship. Originally planned as a disc for children, Hush goes far beyond its initial premise, with each of the 13 tracks demonstrating these musicians' unique gifts and showing that, whether it's Vivaldi or jazz, it's all music and it's all a lot of fun. --David Vernier
