Last night Calibaby and I went to hear Bobby McFerrin, Chick Corea,
and Jack DeJohnette in concert in Ann Arbor.
Bobby McFerrin has an amazing vocal range.
He can go from bass to well up into the usual women's ranges. The program said he can stretch four octives. 
Chick Corea, of course, is a renowned jazz pianist.
John DeJohnette is a god of percussion.
Together they were just...amazing. Awesome. Extraordinary!
Ninety minutes of 100% improv, with those three jazz geniuses...playing. As in having a lot of fun with their music and with each other and with the audience. At times all three of them were scat singing, and bringing in the audience to scat sing along with them. And at times Corea played drums along with DeJohnette, and at times McFerrin played four handed piano with Corea.
In the end, after their first encore, they came out again and took questions from the audience. How cool is that?
