    His ability to convey chord progressions and melodies with his voice is incredible

    It's all a trick of the mind. He establishes just enough of a melodic/harmonic line for your mind to fill in the gaps while he goes to another part. That's why he's so amazing.

    As a vocalist, McFerrin often switches rapidly between modal and falsetto registers to create polyphonic effects, performing both the main melody and the accompanying parts of songs. He makes use of percussive effects created both with his mouth and by tapping on his chest.

    I absolutely adore Bobby McFerrin, he's been in my collection since I was about 16 or so (I'm only 27 now), and I was raised on the "classics" like Pink Floyd, Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Ray Charles, Buddy Guy. I've seen tons of the greats live (Including the aforementioned Ray Charles and Buddy Guy, as well as Grateful Dead with Jerry). But to discount new music on account of it being new is as ignorant and close-minded as those you accuse of being ignorant because they don't enjoy older music.
