The Four Freshmen |
|
|
|
The Four Freshmen perform with that same unmistakable sound of the original
group - a vocal harmony like no other. Over the years, the Four Freshmen
have strongly influenced many groups including Take Six, Manhattan
Transfer, and The Beach Boys. In the 22nd incarnation of the group, the Four Freshmen perform many original Four Freshmen hits, along with some of their own favorites blended with audience-pleasing charisma and humor. Today's Four Freshmen not only are some of the best young jazz vocalists in the business, but they each play instruments, creating a dynamic performance style. They were voted as the best vocal group of 2003 by the JazzTimes Reader. For more information, please visit the Four Freshmen's web site: www.4freshmen.com
