Yo-Yo Ma is... Yo-Yo Ma. Bobbie is improvisational, vocal-sound-effect, jazz-pop - could already smell the funny chemistry. It's said that the album was planned as "children's pieces". Definitely it is very easy listening, and excitement is found everywhere. Hey, aren't these something grown-up would be thankful too? All good music and a lot of fun.
