Take 6 is an American legendary vocal sextet formed in 1980. The band has won as many as 10 Grammy awards, with the first one for its 1988 debut album “Take 6.” The group currently consists of Claude V. McKnight III (first tenor), Mark Kibble (second tenor), David Thomas (third tenor), Joey Kibble (fourth tenor), Khristian Dentley (baritone) and Alvin Chea (bass). Take 6 should unquestionably be considered a jazz band, while in the sound of the sextet one can catch obvious inspirations and ideas drawn from soul, gospel or pop music. During the concert in Ostrów Wielkopolski, which took place on November 6, 2024, the musicians in the packed hall of the Cultural Center sang such compositions as “Back In Love Again”, “Got To Get You Into My Life”, “I've Got Life”, “Spread Love”, “Sailing”, “Change the World”, “Stand By Me”, “Fly Away”, “Roof Garden”, and as an encore - which came after a long, standing ovation from the audience – “Biggest Part of Me” and “Alleluia”. For the participants of Jazz at the Museum, this was the second concert by this formation, as years ago Take 6 accepted an invitation to Ostrów, leaving a special musical mark in the memory of the audience - as they do now.
