This mailing list is not about religion...it's about Take 6. Although they are deeply connected to religion, we should not make this newsgroup about religion. This newsgroup is exciting to me becuase for years I have followed the group and have always appreciated their work. All the fans out there should speak up about why they like the group. Also let's discuss issues about Take 6's future. Does anyone have an interesting story they would like to share? As for your comments Steve, I think that Take 6 has explored several different styles of music over the years. I think it is a matter of taste, but for me Take 6 has offered up a wonderful variety of music. I have never found myself disappointed in the group. Remember that the group's style of music is almost impossible to categorize meaning that they draw upon several styles of music to make their sound. On the "All Access" video I heard them call it "Contemporary-Christian-A Cappella-Pop-Jazz". Does anyone out their have a group or record a cappella music a la the Take 6 sound?

I too believe that Take 6 has explored several different styles of music. And yes, it is a matter of taste. I have heard some of my favorite groups try to keep up with changing times and it completely destroyed the originality of their sound. "I'll Fly Away" on the latest Take 6 CD was a totally different sound for them and I thought it was a total success. As far as a question of religion. I think that the discussion was taken out of context. Someone asked a question out of curiousity and it wasn't meant to spark a dialogue. I think we are beyond that questions at this point and ready to talk more about their music. I had the pleasure of meeting Claude McKnight after one of their performances in New York City at the Blue Note. It was awesome. If anyone out there has recently attended any of their most recent tours, let me know what you thought of the show. Sharon From ???@???

I went to see them at the Blue Note in N.Y. last month. I really liked the performance. I liked it so much that I went to several other shows on other nights. Before N.Y. I saw them in Tampa, FL at a huge Billy Graham Crusade. They sang 3 songs: "So Cool", "Fly Away", and I forgot the last one. Anyway there were about 100,000 people in attendance. They sounded great even though they were outside in a football stadium...not the best venue for a cappella music. I also saw them in Baltimore, MD in a SDA church. That was a very special concert because it was their first time performing music off of "So Cool". Also they had recently had a crisis when Vinnie's mom had fallen ill and they were called in South America to come home immediately. They seemed so upset on stage but I later found out that she survived. That concert was very emotional because throughout the concert at least one of the singers was crying at any given time...Cedric Dent especially. I also went to Sarasota, FL and saw them in a medium sized concert hall. This was the first time I had seen them in many years. They were singing some of the old songs and the "I Got a Life-Spread Love medley". That song is a real crowd pleaser. I noticed that in Sarasota which I think was 2 summers ago, "A Quiet Place" could have sounded better. But after the show I spoke with several of the members and they were telling me that their new personal monitors (ear phone monitors) were affecting the way they perfomed. Each and every time I have seen the group perform, I have gone away inspired. An extra plus is that after every show, they always take time to talk to their fans. I recall the very first time I went to see them perform live back in 1990 in Ft. Lauderdale, FL at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, they were promoting their Christmas Album "He is Christmas". At that time I was just 17 years old and very active with my own a cappella group. After the show they didn't speak to fans but I found a way to pop my head in the car for just enough time to exchange words before some security guy pulled me away. I have followed them for many years and always enjoyed their albums and performances. At the Blue Note Club in N.Y. just last month, I established a closer contact with Mark Kibble. He and I are communicated trying to work out details to get the group to perform at a big event in Miami, FL in November at the Miami Arena. Also I'm trying to work out details with them to get them some merchandise to sell. My wife saw them perform in Japan back in 1996 where they are very famous. Mark and I discussed this and would like to have some t-shirts, posters and other merchandise to sell especially in Japan where they will be performing in a few months. Also I would be remiss if I did not ask all of you if you would be interested in buying some of this merchandise if it were available on line or at concerts in your area. I have other Take 6 stories but I'll stop here. If anyone out there has stories of their own they would like to share please write to the group. I'm interested to learn more about how this group has touched your lives. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From ???@???

If you do, post a link or something so we can all hear your music. Well, having listened to perhaps 2,000 a cappella CDs, I can't say that I've heard anything like Take 6 other than from them! Glad does lots of marvelous Contemporary Christian a cappella, and it often has jazz progressions (plus they did a Gershwin tribute that's fantastic), but they don't have Take 6's soul. The Real Group is an amazing vocal jazz ensemble from Sweden, and they do lots of sophisticated arrangements, but they perform jazz and pop standards as well as some pop originals. Again, not really like Take 6. m-pact has some of the most harmonically sophisticated arrangements among pop groups ... their Christmas album (which will be coming out on my Hot Lips record label) may approach Take 6 artistry, although I haven't heard it yet. Probably the closest I've found is mixed group Straight Company, a Christian/pop group out of North Carolina, I believe. I'm a real fan of their "So Excited - A Cappella" album. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Don Gooding Mainely A CAPPELLA http://www.a-cappella.com don@a-cappella.com P.O.

I'm sorry if I did - no harm meant. I recently heard a group called Vox 1 and was impressed with their a cappella ability. And I also heard a Cuban group called Vocal Sampling and these cats are really cool. I can't recommend any albums by either group since I have yet to get to the record store to find any. I'll let you know or if anyone out there knows drop a line. Steve From ???@???

As far as take 6 goes the reason this was created was because they are good at what they do and what they do best is a cappella and thats what there fans love and that is how they caught the eyes of the world by there unbelieveable sound of hamony there is plienty of other types of music out there and not enough gospel and harmony and the two mixed together is just mind blowing I can listen to take 6 until my ears fall off thats just my opinion on how good they are.

What greater subject could anyone sing about? Illicit love? Violence? Infidelity? adultery? drugs? That's the stuff most chart music is made of. Take6 sings songs that are uplifting, lifesaving, and a blessing to millions. They should have to render no apology for doing what they do. There is no greater calling. Listen to the song "The reason we sing" by First Call for more perspective on this issue. If you watched the movie "Chariots of Fire" you will recall that just before Eric Lidell ran than epic race, someone handed him a tiny piece of paper that read "The Lord honors those who honor Him". May the Lord continue to honor take6 as they continue to honor Him. And all the people say ......AMEN! Olay ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From ???@???

This group is quite tight doing the afro-cuban grooves (i.e. imitating the instruments of the rhythm section and the brass section) but the singing isn't that in tune and the harmonies are pretty basic. But nonetheless the CD is well worth getting just to hear what other a cappella groups are doing out there. I just bought another CD by Vox 1 (also a cappella) called "Chameleon" though haven't listened yet. I still think Take 6 can keep their message about God but just couch it in a different group arrangement (i.e. a CD where they teamed up with other artists on every song). And I think on this CD they could let the other artists have a hand in the arrangements which might help them experience other harmonic voicings and styles of music. So, who could they team up with on each song. 1. Sting and Take 6 2. Branford Marsalis 3. Bela Fleck and the Flecktones 4. London Symphony Orchestra 5. Al Jarreau 6. Yo-Yo Ma 7. Michael Jackson 8. Zakir Hussain (plays tabla) 9. 10. 11. Any other ideas for 9, 10, 11? The list could go on and on and I think the sounds that these creative people could come up with together would really be fresh for Take 6's sound. Steve From ???@???

I suggest you go to http://home.earthlink.net/~ddas/take6.html to learn more about their efforts with other artists. I like to hear the group alone. They have given us several wonderful albums but I still thirst for more. Collaborations are not what Take 6 is all about yet they have done so many. I think they do it mainly to make money and to get some exposure. I however cherish their own albums much more than their collaborations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From ???@???

And my religion is far from the same as theirs, which shows how important the music is. Even though I do not follow the same spirituality, I still think their religious content is admirable and beautiful. Everyone should appreciate it for what it's worth.
