The first live release from the group widely acknowledged to be the one that sets the standard for vocal harmony arrangements, recorded at the Blue Note in Tokyo, Japan. Though considered contemporary gospel, that may be an obvious categorization, but in fact their sound spills over into a variety of genres. Witness "How Sweet It Is," a pop tune that1s voiced with jazz chordings and a swinging rhythm, or their wonderfully limber "All Blues," which features accompaniment by a jazz sextet, the members of which are, surprise, Take 6 themselves! The delicate touch of Cedric Dent1s piano graces several cuts, such as "Smile," one of three songs never recorded by Take 6 before, and new for this CD. Favorites like "Spread Love" and "Mary" (with a new arrangement) are included in the set, but rest assured there1s a lot of fresh sounds to get into - and the production and musicality are immaculate.
