5 out of 5 stars Oh boy.......2003-03-04

Goose bump city listening to the harmonies swoops and swoon.

5 out of 5 stars WOW!.......2002-01-26

This cd is a must have if you enjoy different kinds of music, or even just jazz! I wish I were in this group, it's so tight! This has become my favorite cd, and before this, I was hardly a jazz fan! I wish they would do some more!

5 out of 5 stars The best jazz vocal group around.......2001-09-28

This recording was the Real Group's first release targeted directly at American audiences. (Some of their previous CDs are primarily done in Swedish.) One cannot say enough about the quality of the voices, the arrangements, the performances, and the recording quality.

The group is a descendent of the genre created by the Swingle Singers and Singers Unlimited (SU). They have all the musical talent of the Swingles, and the high-quality jazz arrangements of SU (although the Real Group's voices are better than SU).

This recording is a pure delight. Completely a cappella (although you'd swear they snuck in a percussionist -- it's actually mouth-sounds a la Bobby McFerrin). Not only do they have terrific voices, but the great ears that are required to sing these marvelous arrangements. Some of the singing is reminiscent of high-voltage big-band arrangements ("It Don't Mean a Thing", "Flight of the Foobirds"); other cuts are so serenely seductive that they will melt the heart of stone ("Body and Soul", "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?"). In addition to "normal" singing (i.e. words), they throw in a healthy helping of excellent scat singing -- both solos and ensemble scat.

If you're new to vocal jazz, get this CD first. Then their "One for All", which is as good. And then perhaps their Live in Stockholm, and some old SU (if you can find it). Rockapella doesn't compare. The only group that can come close is Take 6.

5 out of 5 stars Buy This Album.......2001-01-10

I've been in jazz singing groups for about two years now and I'm just getting into listening rather than singing and I am amazed! The first night that I had this c.d. I listened to it twice. The flow of the voices is so amazing, it's like being caught up in the waves of the open sea and rather than being frightning, it's relaxing. You can just close your eyes and get so caught up in it. My only coplaint is that I wish there was more music on the c.d.! I was especially impressed with "Kristallen Den Fina".

5 out of 5 stars How do you say "WOW" in Swedish?.......2000-05-02

Shades of "Singers Unlimited" and that is saying something. Absolutely "awesome". "Acappella" at its best. Unfortunately the CD is only 51:49 playing time, I could take a lifetime listening to this talented group. This CD is under lock and key with my SU, Hi-Los and Four Freshmen classics. Get your kleenex ready when you listen to cut #9, "What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life"? The entire world should take time out and listen, what wonderful therapy for us all.
