Bobby McFerrin and the Pentatonic Scale
August 3rd, 2009, 3 Comments »
Today I happened upon this delightful video from, oddly, the World Science Festival 2009:
World Science Festival 2009: Bobby McFerrin Demonstrates the Power of the Pentatonic Scale from World Science Festival on Vimeo.
While I expect he’s made a great deal of money off of “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”, it’s unfortunate that that’s what most people think of when they hear McFerrin’s name. I don’t know much about jazz, but every time I hear him he strikes me as this remarkably capable and original vocalist.
