Goldstar came through once again with great seats -center row orchestra! Thank you goldstar! However, we were really disappointed in the show. More than half of it consisted of "Take Six" members mimicking instruments. The gimmick tired quickly. We had to endure a routine that seemed straight from Venice Beach, all the while feeling that we were duped by false advertising. I mean really, a Miles Davis tribute and NO TRUMPET!Written on Feb 14 2009

If I could, I would give 5 stars to the first half of the performance. It was incredible! 4 flutes in unison is hard to pull off. It was a very fitting tribute, and I loved the narration that shared stories of Coltrane's life during that time period.Written on Feb 27 2009
The Giant Steps performance left us utterly bouncing with anticipation for the act to follow. Kind of Blue is my fiance's favorite album of all time. We were a little confused when we saw, "Take Six--Vocals" on the program, but we thought, maybe they would do one song or something. Turns out this a capella gospel group was performing the entire album Bobby McFerrin style. The trumpet imitation was painful. We had to leave after the first song for fear of ruining the actual album for us.
Take 6 was a great disappointment. In the end, though, paying half price for an amazing first half was still worth it. We just went home and played Kind of Blue on the stereo and went to bed.

Fantastic evening. We loved everything about this evening; music was wonderful, we loved Take six and the pianist was exceptional.Written on Feb 16 2009

I looked forward to the event because I enjoy the music of both. We were early and found out about a lecture at 7 which we attended. That presented a picture of the work involved in the presentation and the history of the pieces. I thoroughly enjoyed that time. The seats were very good. I enjoyed the first half and the guest players who were added. I quickly became bored by the second half and was disappointed. The Take Six group is good but I wanted the real thing for Miles music. A taste of their style might have been OK but almost the whole second part? Not good.Written on Feb 15 2009

Description
In 1959, two truly revolutionary albums forever changed music: Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue and John Coltrane’s Giant Steps. James "Jimmy" Cobb, the legendary drummer from both albums, unites with music director Mulgrew Miller and a cappella masters Take 6 in a new interpretation of Kind of Blue, including “So What” and “Freddie Freeloader.” As if that wasn't enough, Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra (JLCO) saxophonist Ted Nash debuts new arrangements of “Naima” and “Mr. P.C.” from Giant Steps, joined on stage by fellow JLCO saxophonists Walter Blanding and Sherman Irby.
