Hmmm...
When you wrote "power-pop" about The Real Group, I wondered if my memory
was failing, as I was tangentially familiar with a Swedish group with
that name, but they were acappella. Per www.a-cappella.com (Mainely A
Cappella):
The Real Group is one of the premier vocal jazz ensembles in the world.
Founded in 1984 while they were all studying at The Royal Music Academy
in Stockholm, Sweden's Real Group has come to represent superior
professionalism and astounding vocal turns. They also have
well-developed senses of humor and self irony that make their concerts
endlessly entertaining. Their ability to do both jazz and pop,
alternating between fabulous solo voices and ensemble harmony to die
for, makes it easy to see why they have garnered legions of fans
internationally. To date they have performed over 1,200 concerts and
sold over 300,000 recordings.
Their cds are available at the site.
