"In this newest Four Freshmen CD you still hear that traditional sound that has made them so unique over the past 50+ years. Yet you can hear so much more as this is just not another nastalgic group of hanger-oners. These are all new arrangements where the current group of Freshmen add there own style and modern twists. I have never heard Early Autumn done better as you truly get some great harmonizing.

If you like vocal music -whether you have been Freshmen fans in the past or not, you will like this.

The Freshest Freshmen You'll Ever Hear!

"Let's cut to the chase by saying this is one super Four Freshmen CD. If you've loved this group in the past, you'll really enjoy the current combination. Bob, Brian, Curtis and Vince are consummate pros and bring the great FF harmony to a group of songs that showcase just how timeless the sound is! Standouts include "Early Autumn", "My One And Only Love" and a version of "If I Only Had A Brain" (with Vince doing some nifty scat-whistling no less) that you'll wind up wanting to hear again and again. Throw evergreens like "Skylark", "That Old Feeling" and a beautiful take on "September Song" into the mix, and you've got one of the best tributes to the Great American Songbook you'll ever hear. Add "In Session" to your want list. Don't miss out on this wonderful CD."

The Latest from the Four Freshmen

"The Freshmen have won Best Jazz Vocal Group in both Jazz Times and Downbeat polls over the last five years. Released late in 2004 this CD represents the current group in a studio session. All of the songs on this CD are never-before recordings featuring arrangements by the current group (with the exception of Early Autumn by Bill Comstock). All instrumentals are by the Freshmen themselves. This is a must-have CD for fans of the Freshmen and lovers of vocal jazz and it may well propel them to further awards."
