I love Take 6! This cd is awesome! If you are a Take 6 fan you should definitely get this cd. If not, as long as you like acapella, jazzy, gospel music that pops you will love it as well! Even though it is acapella and jazzy most of the songs on it you could move to if you want. There are some mellow songs as well.
Not their best Feb 11, 2010
I saw Take 6 in concert with our local State Symphony in December. The live concert was far better than the new CD. A little disappointing.
Proving once again... Sep 29, 2009
Take 6's The Standard once again proves the axiom you can take any standard tune, and with expert, inspired arrangement and performance create something spectacular and fresh. Melody is a stack of lumber: you can build out of it a shack or amass more and build a palace. So many times have I read title listings on a CD of old standards with an prejudiced sigh, but find that if they're masterfully, courageously overhauled, experience musical euphoria! If you're a "chord lover," Take 6 is your band. Without breaking down a review of each tune, The Standard is, to me, is "palatial," and satisfies my repeat-listening appetite for dense harmonies and hairpin rhythms! An instant favorite!

I love this CD. It is one of my favorites. The dynamics of the voices are incredible. This CD is a real treat.
Take 6 Takes On The Classics Jul 5, 2009
Take 6, the jazz-gospel sextet with the airy harmonic sound, has come up with their soulful take on the jazz classics that could sure to make even Renee Olstead blush. "The Standard" contains such classics as "Sweet Georgia Brown", "The Windmills Of Your Mind", and even a soulful take on the Gershwin classic "Someone To Watch Over Me". Their airy harmonies give new insight to these standards, while maintaining their soulful bent. Indeed, this is one of the best albums Take 6 has released in recent years.
