Vocal geniuses tuned to the last note in the band Take 6 have been bringing musical joy since 1980. The American sextet, which has won ten Grammy Awards, an equal number of Dove Awards and has had many other successes, is the most awarded band of its kind in the world. Jazz harmonies and inspirational lyrics. Signs that make the work of Take 6 easily recognizable and unique. In their own words, the members are also united by their faith, friendship, respect and love of music. The musicians, who treat each other like family, have a deep respect for each other. And this can be felt on stage as well, the musical six transmit their warmth towards the audience. The strength of the four tenors, baritone and bass - besides emotion, humility and playfulness - is also in crossing musical genres and vocal excellence.
The sextet has performed with such legends as Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston and Quincy Jones. The charismatic men push the boundaries of creativity and musical genius with every live performance. They will perform under the baton of Vlad Valovic with the Gustav Brom Radio Big Band. All of them have important anniversaries in the year 2025: the Gustav Brom Radio Big Band will celebrate 85 years since its foundation, Vlado Valovič will have his 80th birthday and the same number of years will pass since Czech Radio České Budějovice began broadcasting.
