We Wish You a Merry Christmas

He is Christmas	Take 6	Feels Good When you are the world's greatest jazz, R&B, soul/gospel acapella vocal group, people have a difficult time describing your music. it always seems inadequate. Beginning in 1989 with their self titled debut, Take 6 has been hard to categorize. Selling a million records, nominat...	So Cool Die-hard fans of this Grammy-winning team will celebrate when they hear the sixth album from Take 6. After a blatant attempt at out-and-out commercialism via their marginally successful 1996 album Brothers, the sextet is back on solid ground, returning to the basic a cappella sou...	So Much 2 Say
The Greatest Hits When Alvin Chea, David Thomas, Claude McKnight, Cedric Dent, and Joey and Mark Kibble burst onto the scene from a small Alabama college in the early '90s as the vocal group Take 6, their gospel-inspired vocals and all-embracing musical outlook blew listeners and categories away w...	Beautiful World The mother of all jazz vocal groups is not really a jazz vocal group at all. As if their 11 Grammy nominations in seven categories don't underscore that point enough, Take 6's 10th album is a collection of well-known pop hits from the '60s, '70s, and '80s, all with a spiritual me...	Join the Band	Brothers	The Standard A cappella powerhouse Take 6 marks a new jazz vocal milestone with The Standard.

Excellent CD
This Christmas CD is another one of Take 6's display of "FLAWLESS" Acapella, rich and unique sound, phenominal Contemporary Gospel/Jazz/R&B music in it's purest form.

Merry Music
This CD will definitely contribute to a Merry Musical Christmas. Nobody does it like Take 6.

Just fabulous!
The singing and arrangements on this CD are some of their best. I've heard a lot of Christmas music lately (Dec 18, today) and this is by far my favorite. Although all the songs are standard Christmas songs rather than originals, each one has been rendered in a fresh, original, and wonderful way. Unlike some Christmas albums, the arrangements aren't weird or contrived; they fit the spirit of the songs beautifully, within the unique style and talent of Take 6. One of my favorites is "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas", which is rendered with sort of a doo-wap groove. It's hard to describe, but it just works. I guess you can listen to the samples. Honestly, I'm perplexed at why some other reviewers don't like it. This is one of 8 Take 6 albums in my collection, and I'd rank it at least in the top half. It is on the jazzy size of their work, as opposed to some of their religious albums. But, it's really nice to listen to. I listen over and over and never get tired of it. Highly recommended.

Not the same group they used to be...
Thier 1st Christmas cd was about God, and featured 1st class jazz harmonizing, and sophistocated vocal arrangements. This cd makes them sound more like any other vocal pop group today, they just don;t swing like they used to, they sound so commercial and sappy. Get He Is Christmas instead, as well as thier self titled debut cd, and thier 2nd cd, but everything after that is commercial pop sounding.

What a Shame!
As a lover of good accapella music, I wish I could report that this is one of this groups best albums but I must be honest. This is a waste of good talent. I am very sorry to see the decline of this former powerhouse sextet. They just seem to have lost focus on what was so important and what made them famous in the first place. They just don't sing like they use to. Don't waste your money here. If you want great music by Take 6, please buy their first album or even their second album. After that every album gets worse and worse. I really hate saying that because Take 6 was one of the best accapella groups I'd ever heard. This won't make your Christmas very merry!
