Whatever Bobby McFerrin does, he breaks the mold—as a composer, arranger, and bandleader… as a conductor of symphony orchestras…and, of course, as a singer and improviser who expands our ideas of what music can be. He is that rare thing: a great entertainer and a groundbreaking artist, showing us that there are virtually no limits to what can be done with the human voice. For more than four decades, Bobby has broken all the rules – and made up a whole bunch of new ones.
A ten-time Grammy winner and a NEA Jazz Master, he has blurred the distinction between pop music and fine art—goofing around barefoot in the world’s august concert halls, exploring uncharted vocal territory, and inspiring generations of a cappella singers and the beat box generation.
