Bit of Ivory

This is more because I’ve had a busy day than because I didn’t sleep well– although, I didn’t sleep well. Bleh. But I did watch what I ate (mostly, it was my grandma’s birthday, so I had cake), I exercised, and I accomplished much.

I also go to meet my new cousin, and he is adorable.

Hey, all you New Yorkers!

I am insanely jealous of you people. Because The Real Group, the greatest a cappella vocal jazz group EVER, are giving a concert at Florence Gould Hall on April 28. Tickets are available through their box office and through Ticketmaster. If you love vocal jazz, if you love a cappella music, if you just love good music, or if you’re just bored, or if you’re none of these things but can possibly attend this concert, GO. You will not be disappointed. They’re from Sweden, they almost NEVER come here, and they’re ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Siriusly.

The rest of you should buy one of their CDs. You can get them all from Primarily A Cappella, and some of them are available through Amazon. You can find sound clips at all three sites I’ve linked to.

Go. Listen. Be Amazed.

And then buy tickets to the concert if you’re in the NY area. If I had $400 to burn, I’d be there in a heartbeat.
