CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Vocal sextet Take 6 bring their tight jazz harmonies and Christian message to their first live recording, from Tokyo's Blue Note in October 1999. The distinctive a cappella style they established early in their career is preserved in the swingers "If We Ever Needed the Lord Before" and "Mary" from their groundbreaking first album and the luscious "I'm on My Way" and the lickety-split "So Much 2 Say" from their 1990 follow-up. To spotlight individual members of the band, the Miles Davis classic "All Blues" finds Cedric Dent on piano accompanying the five voices imitating instruments, including Joey Kibble's dead-on rendition of Miles's Harmon mute. Fans of the band's more commercial sound, which debuted when they added instrumental support with 1994's Join the Band, will enjoy hearing Dent stay at the piano for Charlie Chaplin's classic "Smile" (though with a lot of jazzy filigree) and "Over the Hill Is Home," a brand-new song by Dent and Alvin Chea that offers a reassuring message of hope though less of a musical challenge. Not everyone enjoys both faces of the band, but the song list has enough variety to please almost any fan. In addition, the 12-minute final track, "I've Got Life/Spread Love," allows the group room to stretch out and get in some interplay with the audience. --David Horiuchi Similar CDs

CD ReviewsOnly for diehard fans S. M. Ferguson | Grew up in St. Paul's Crocus Hill, now in New Jers | 08/24/2000 (3 out of 5 stars) "I love Take 6. Their ministry is an incredible blessing, and listening to their music has brought me a lot of joy and comfort.Having said that, I really think that although the performance on Live CD is amazing, the CD is hugely disappointing from a technical standpoint. The miking is terrible -- popping P's and nasty sibilants and gobs of prox effect on the bass. Just listen to "I'm On My Way" -- the bass is in your face and the lead line sounds like it's being sung from the back of the hall. (Yes it's live, but miking for a cd should be different than miking for sound reinforcement.) I get the feeling that this CD was rushed to market. If Reprise/WEA really cared about the quality of their product, they should have given the project a little more thought. If this is your first exposure to Take 6, buy another of their CDs first, like So Cool or one of the two Christmas CDs." Just heard it and WOW! John Von Glahn | New Jersey, USA | 06/11/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "What else can you say about this group of six men? I have yet to see these guys live and FINALLY a live album! These guys have taken songs that I have listened countless times and continually switch the structures around - it's like hearing it for the first time all over again. Best tracks have got to be "Mary" and "Spread Love"; Alvin Chea is amazing; Cedric on piano - OH MY!; Mark Kibble and Claude McKnight are still cracking glass with those high notes (how do they do that?) - This is a MUST BUY for anyone who loves the art of vocal/a cappella jazz music! (Next time they're in concert - count me THERE!)" Inspiring on many levels Bruce J Murray | Tuscaloosa, AL USA | 01/11/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "The members of Take 6 manifest an encyclopedic understanding of gospel, jazz, R&B, and popular idioms that seems to expand with each album. Couple this to an extraordinary vocal virtuosity, demonstrated stunningly on the "Live" album, and the result is something unique in American music.This is a music and a message of joy and uplift, presented with the greatest understanding and sophistication."
