Take 6 - So Cool - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Not just a cappella fans but the whole musical world perked up their ears when six young singers transformed the Gospel world with their Jazz arrangements. The beautiful harmonies and sophisticated arrangements immediately set a standard which has been endlessly copied ever since.

InchWe wanted this to be a celebration of music,Inch Jones continues. InchI think that informed some of the bolder decision making on this record. At a time when music was so distant, it felt important to make an album that sounded hopeful, celebratory, ambitious and beautiful in spite of the heavy subject matter in some of the songs.Inch Jones adds InchIt was almost like we needed to shout louder than before because we felt that there were more barriers between the audience and us.
