The Real Group - En Riktig Jul (with DVD)


Look what we found in our stocking–a new two-disc Christmas gift set from The Real Group, the quintessential, pioneering, standard-setting Swedish mixed-voice Vocal Jazz quintet and one of our all-time favorite ensembles! The set includes their wonderful Christmas CD "En Riktig Jul," a best seller in the Singers.com catalog and one of our favorite Christmas CDs, with 13 wonderful Swedish carols and folk tunes and extensive color, multilingual liner notes. But the prize is the "Xmas Concert & Showcase" DVD, which contains two mpg clips of a live concert given by this remarkable group, of seven tunes, all in Swedish with some short introductions by the group. The songs are "The Big Juleblues," "Drangstalle," "Stilla Natt," "Tomtannas Julnatt," "Kalle i Djungeln," "Jul, Jul Stralande Jul" and the Lennon/McCartney standard "Ticket to Ride." It is such a treat to watch this legendary group perform live, playing flawlessly off each other's enormous talent with perfect timing, humor and grace. For all the Real Group's millions of fans, and fans-to-be (those who have not heard them yet), this set is truly a Real Christmas present from Sweden! 1380 CD & DVD 26.95
