Take 6 redefined contemporary a cappella when they emerged in the 1980s, blending jazz harmony, gospel roots, and meticulous vocal arranging into a sound that earned six Grammy Awards and a permanent place in music history. Their approach to voices as instruments capable of producing complex textures, rhythmic precision, and emotional depth has influenced generations of choral musicians and arrangers.
Mervyn Warren, a founding member of Take 6, brings decades of experience as both a performer and arranger. His arrangements reflect the group's signature aesthetic: sophisticated harmonies, rhythmic vitality, and an unwavering commitment to vocal excellence. Warren's work for choirs captures what makes Take 6 special: the sense that voices can do anything.
