“DENYCE GRAVES: BREAKING THE RULES, recorded in June 2003 in front of a live audience at the Mann Center of the Performing Arts in Philadelphia, celebrates the talent, style and versatility of the mezzo-soprano.
Graves leaves behind opera scores and wows the crowd with an electrifying collection of classical, gospel, R&B, and jazz favorites such as ‘Get Happy', ‘Old Man River', ‘Laid Down My Burdens', ‘Joint is Jumpin'' and more.
Highlights include Graves performing a powerful duet with Patti LaBelle. Another special moment in the program is a rousing rendition of ‘Smile' by male a capella group, Take 6. The soulful group also engages the audience in a participatory version of ‘Wade in the Water'."

Een journalist schrijft op https://www1.sticks.de/news/0310/news.htm:
“Der Konzertabend “Voices Of The World" im “Forum" am 12. 11. ab 18.30 Uhr dürfte nicht nur für die Liebhaber besonderer “Voices" interessant sein. Beim “80th Birthday Concert" von Charlie Mariano feat. Karnataka College of Percussion werden die Percussionisten Ramesh Shotam und T.A.S. Mani das Publikum in die exotische Welt der indischen Percussion entführen. Neben dem Vocal-Sextett Take 6 rundet der Auftritt von Sängerin Lyambiko und ihrer Band mit dem fantastisch subtil groovenden Drummer Torsten Zwingenberger das Programm ab."

Mark: “Coming out here to perform was awesome," said Kibble. “It was such an honor to be able to do it because these are the people who ‘have our backs.' We're so proud of you all. Just to come and share a little bit of joy with you during the Christmas season, and share some of God's love, was the biggest honor for us. We realize you guys have a tough job to do so, we're praying for you while you're out here and we ‘got your back' too."

- 13-04-04 Los Angeles, CA (Walt Disney Concert Hall)

The two-hour concert that night at Disney Hall was entitled “A Tribute to Henry Mancini." It was a benefit for the Henry Mancini Institute, which has become something of a summertime Mecca for talented young instrumentalists seeking to broaden their classical training to include jazz and more popular forms.
Peter Gunn drew one standing ovation; the second was when Mancini's Oscar-winning theme for Breakfast at Tiffany's, “Moon River," was performed by Stevie Wonder on harmonica and the vocal harmonies of Take 6.
https://www.jazzreview.com/articledetails.cfm?ID=2907 schrijft:
In celebration of Henry Mancini, one of the 20th century's most prolific and honored composers, Concord Records has teamed with his daughter, Monica, to release Ultimate Mancini on March 23. Many of Mancini's most memorable songs have been re-recorded, in some cases using the original arrangements.JazzReview.com: There's a nice version of ‘Moon River' on the new CD with Stevie Wonder and Take 6.
In addition to Monica Mancini, the CD features several special guests, including Stevie Wonder, Take 6 and Kenny Rankin.
Henry Mancini is best known for the endearing music that he wrote for films and television. Some of his best songs, including “Moon River," “Two For The Road," and “The Pink Panther Theme" are included on the new CD. During his career, Mancini earned four Academy Awards and 20 Grammy Awards.
The release of “Ultimate Mancini" is one of several special events happening in 2004, which would have been the composer's 80th birthday. Ten years after this death, the U.S. Postal Service is also issuing the Henry Mancini Commemorative Stamp in April. Other events happening this year include a tribute concert at the new Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.
Monica Mancini: “That was Dad's original arrangement for ‘Moon River.' It came right off the film ... we took the exact same arrangement with the same instrumentation and said who would be the best harmonica player we could come up with. Stevie Wonder was first on the list. And our favorite vocal group, and they are just hot as hell, is Take 6. We asked and they were delighted to do it. It came out great."
JazzReview.com: Was it key for this CD to use as much of the original arrangements as possible?
Monica Mancini: “It was. We really wanted to point out the fact that this music is so timeless. You can take these original notes that he put on paper and if someone comes and plays the same notes, it just adds a freshness and uniqueness. It can sound very contemporary even today even though some of the arrangements are 30-some years old."
