SUMMARY:TAKE 6
DESCRIPTION: FEATURING: Claude McKnight III\, vocals Cedric Dent\, voc
	als David Thomas\, vocals Mark Kibble\, vocals Alvin Chea\, vocals Joe
	y Kibble\, vocals  Being patently original\, with a timeless musical a
	rtistry can only define one group- Take 6. Take 3 parts Gospel + 1 par
	t Jazz\, +1 dash of Pop +1 touch of R&B = 6 parts of soulful harmony. 
	Take 6s new album Feels Good ingeniously blends all these genres in a 
	delicious\, spirit-soaring feast of sound. With the release of their m
	uch-anticipated album Feels Good\, Take 6 returns to their rich musica
	l heritage bringing the listener along for one of their most uplifting
	\, funky and inspirational joy rides to date. Feels Good makes you fee
	l just that good. Its warm sonic tapestry weaves around the soles of y
	our feet and up until it tickles the very baby hairs on your arms. Tak
	e 6 began crafting Feels Good a year and a half ago\, yet this project
	 represents everything that devout Take 6 fans\, over the years\, have
	 come to love and expect from this multifaceted sextet. With a nod to 
	their history\, Feels Good boldly looks forward attacking Acapella in 
	new exciting ways. With a staggering eighteen Grammy-Award nominations
	\, Take 6 is the most nominated Gospel\, Jazz\, Pop or R&B artists in 
	Grammy history. Yet along with their solid 10 Grammy wins\, 10 Dove Aw
	ards\, one Soul Train Award and two NAACP Image Award nominations alre
	ady on their mantel\, Take 6 have set yet another challenge for themse
	lves. The group has recently launched Take 6 Records\, and is now capi
	talizing on\, not only their 20 years of collective experience in the 
	creative side of music\, but also\, by taking a more proactive role\, 
	in the business of music. Member Alvin Chea says\, "This was a natural
	 progression for us. Traditional record companies want to lock you int
	o a particular category. If you are slightly askew of that\, they real
	ly dont know what to do with you. We decided to take the reigns on thi
	s project and in our careers so we could position our projects in the 
	marketplace by how we felt lead." In the music industry\, Take 6 is so
	 universally recognized as simply being the best\, that they have virt
	ually owned Downbeat magazines readers poll having won Favorite Jazz V
	ocal Group 9 consecutive years. In spite of this\, Mark Kibble states\
	, It is important for us to continually challenge ourselves musically 
	in order to keep our music and creative spirit fresh. Take 6 has recei
	ved some of its highest praise from the music industrys icons. Mega pr
	oducer and longtime collaborator Quincy Jones\, has described Take 6 a
	s "The baddest vocal cats on the planet." In their stellar career\, th
	ey have been honored to perform with numerous music legends including 
	Ella Fitzgerald\, Miles Davis\, David Foster\, Al Jarreau\, Stevie Won
	der\, Denyce Graves\, The Yellowjackets and Wynton Marsalis among a ho
	st of others. The Take 6 style has also reached todays pop culture. Th
	eir musical style and tight harmonies have influenced pop groups from 
	Boyz II Men and Backstreet Boys to *NSYNC. As wonderful as these honor
	s and accolades are\, Take 6 is still committed to using their music a
	s a ministry. Claude McKnight (founding member) beams\, "Im immensely 
	proud of the fact we have had only one personnel change in the group w
	hich was founded 20 years ago. It is very much a testament to our comm
	itment to one another and spreading the gospel through our music."
