The bass vocal must be an amazing bass player because his vocal dynamics and tone are just perfect!

You must be an amazing musician, because Alvin Chea does indeed play upright bass.

Its entertaining to see the comments in here that are supposedly critiquing a group that hasn't met its vocal match in the entire 35 years of it's existence. You all are so cute.

Exactly!! This is take 6 from the JUMP! Getaway Jordan!! Absolute fav!
What a range Jacob has! He sang the tune very well with relative ease, and not to mention his head voice was very well-supported as well, blending well with his chest register without trouble. We all talk about the man's genius musicianship (which he certainly has, otherwise he will not be hanging out with Quincy Jones and Herbie Hancock of all people), but not many actually speak highly of his vocal ability - it is very underrated IMO!

The fact that these are his childhood heroes makes me so happy. I enjoy watching Jacob Collier's dreams come true. He's so well-deserving.
This is mind blowing for these guys to memorize all of this and perform it. It would be so easy to get lost in all of the intense voice leading amongst the thick canopy of this beautiful harmony forest.
OMG!!!!! NARUTO AND THE SIX KAGE!! I seriously don't think anybody understands the magnitude of this history being made on that stage Take6, passing on the baton to the new age that is Collier

2:29 The way Jacob sang "all" in the line "Cause that is all that I'm living for" is my favorite part.
In defense of this performance, I'll say that this arrangement was not intended for live performance. The way Jacob writes vocal parts is not how you would normally write and would pose a challenge even for experienced groups like Take 6. Not to mention that these are 7 different voices as opposed to being just Jacob so blending is going to be more difficult AND they're doing it live so the balance could be off due to volume differences. Is the tuning shaky? Yes, but this is a hella difficult song to do live.
@emilwal3336

Blending in these kinds of arrangements comes down to nailing the correct microtones, IE if two vocalists are even less than a quarter note off on some of the intervals it could ruin the whole shebang. It's difficult as balls, but given the skill of the performers Id say all they need is more time to really nail it down.

But he's way out of his depth here with take 6 .they really exposed how bad of a singer he is live. They were carrying him the whole way .let's hope it's a learning experience for him to work on his live vocals they were horrible, perfect pitch or not the singing from Jacob was awful really really bad
Those only hearing Take 6 for the 1st time have been living under a rock of ignorance.

Rick Jordon No offence. I'm a HUGE Take 6 fan. But the kid has almost as much talent as they do put together. That's no slam against them. That's simply how good he is. Go watch some of his interviews. His knowledge of theory is staggering alone. He plays a number of instruments. His improvising is awesome, and his music is a level above almost anything else I've ever heard. Most people don't have the slightest idea how complex and different his music is. I really don't care who the bigger name is. He's the bigger talent.
I love Take 7
The timing! The phrasing! Delicious on every level!
I love this so much I can't get enough
OMG! Beautiful and great to hear these guys together !
This is stuff that vocal jazz is made of wow!
For the folks thinking they are singing out of tune, these are the top jazz musicians on earth, no they are not out of key.
AMAZING... The vocal chops of every one of these is stellar.
This arrangement is a masterpiece!
I love all of your voices!!!
Wow, Lord, this is mind-blowing!
Watched this approximately 67 times. Still gives me chills.
I love Jacobs voice! I think they sounded great together.
I lost touch with Take 6 over the years ... Crazy to see them all grown up ... So glad to see a ol' fave collab with a new fave.
This one makes my day more peaceful
So difficult, so beautiful song! Incredible!
So beautiful! I'm transported!
This takes me back to college at Tennessee State University in Nashville. I followed Take 6 everywhere they performed. Sat. Listened. Learned. Thanks for this. Continue to inspire.
Take 6 makes everything sound just right. Great to hear a tenor soloist. Loved it.
Insane arrangement. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wonderful....saw his solo act in NYC IN Feb...just GREAT
Thank you so much for having Jacob at your show! Its so nice to know more about his work 👌 I grew up with Take6 music and this performance is more than epic to me !😍 God bless you all xx
this is great, wonderful voices
Seriously. This is epic! Thanks for sharing!
Why am i just seeing this now? Pure gold ✨️
Fabulous! Just Fabulous!
Omg this is a match made in heaven. Take 6 can do all the sounds Jacob does with his instruments.
3:40 i didn't know that he reaches that note!!! So beautiful!!!
I am so glad this happened!!!! The voicing that Mr. Collier uses & does TAKE6 been doing it for decades!!! glad they got to collab! AND IT'S DOPE!
Omg their bass voice is so amazing
This was inevitable. Fabulous!
Take 6, always amazing, timeless!
Wow... some of the best musicians on the planet spanning the 20th and 21st centuries - together. FANTASTIC...I'd expect nothing less from each of these fellows!
Can’t lie; this is a bit like those Grammy Awards performances which put LEGENDS together onstage, and despite the undeniable talent from all involved, the mismatched styles make you wish what each of them does so brilliantly on their own. I wouldn’t have fallen in love with a cappella without Take6; their influence is immeasurable. But Collier is still growing into his craft and experimenting with sounds, and he has something to learn from Take6 as well. They understand crowd pleasing ENTERTAINMENT in a way very few a cappella ever have.
Jacob Collier and take 6 is a match made in freakin' heaven. Who's with me on this one?
You are brilliant, guys!!! God bless you
Killin' it BABY!! 😁🎤🎧 Now that's how you do it !! 😃
I love the vibe this performance gives off. Like they do it just because. Because that’s why they do it.
sounds really GREAT !!! made my DAY!!!!!!
From what I can hear, every singer hits the notes they are intending to make for the vast majority of the performance. Remember Jacob’s harmonies are not conventional at all and there are almost always undercurrents of contemporary jazz in a lot of his songs meaning that really the artist is able to take the music wherever they wish based on the feeling they want to conjure in the listener. There are really only a couple of instances where chords are slightly off.

Yeah, they get off a bit around "here forever to see me through," find it again when the bass hits a low note on his own, and the rest of it is pretty spot on, just a couple more minor intonation issues in individual runs.
