Mervyn Warren, former member of the acappella sensations Take 6, turned producer, gathered an amazing group of voices together to bring the classical Handel’s Messaiah: A Soulful Celebration to life for the first time. A virtual Who’s Who of contemporary African-American music interpreted Handel’s 250-year-old oratorio. The recording was originally produced by Warren and Quincy Jones in 1992 on Reprise Records with a host of chart topping r&b, jazz and gospel artists. The National Symphony Orchestra (NSO) recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Grammy® and Dove award–winning gospel album with a special one-night-only performance of Handel’s Messiah: A Soulful Celebration.
