ake 6 brings its Grammy Award-winning fusion of gospel music, R&B, pop, and jazz to the world on this, their debut. The vocal-harmony group is blessed with gorgeous voices and armed with a strong belief in God (they are all Seventh Day Adventists), who blessed them with a genuine feeling for close harmony singing and jazzy improvisation.|

The vocal sextet's debut release was critically acclaimed, capturing Grammy Awards in both the jazz and gospel categories. In a diverse selection of songs, Take 6 merges an a cappella sound with gospel and big-band jazz arrangements. Of the ten songs recorded, six are from the public domain, two are group collaborations, and the remaining two are from outside sources. Their harmonies and melodies are consistent throughout this outstanding collection of songs. In addition to being the lead vocalists on most of the tracks, Claude McKnight and Mark Kibble also produced the album, along with tenor Mervyn Warren. Moreover, the other three members also exert their vocal versatility by singing lead on at least one selection each. ~ Craig Lytle
