A vocal ensemble that blends gospel, R&B, and jazz into intricate harmonies.
For a quick sense of their range, try 'Spread Love' and 'Someday We'll All Be Free.' Both show how they handle rhythm and harmony without ever picking up an instrument.
Take 6's sound is a tight weave of gospel, R&B, and jazz, all without instruments. You can hear it on 'Spread Love' and 'Get Away Jordan,' where the voices do everything. They've worked with Herbie Hancock and performed with orchestras like the Atlanta Symphony, but the core is still those six voices in a room.
They started as The Gentlemen's Estate Quartet at Oakwood College in Huntsville, Alabama, around 1980. Over twenty albums later, including 'Join the Band' and 'Beautiful World,' they've kept that a cappella foundation while branching into collaborations and philanthropy.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
