The Four Freshmen

Description:

The Four Freshmen's profound influence on American jazz and pop singing began in 1948 with four students at Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana. Hal Kratzsch, brothers Ross and Don Barbour, and their cousin Bob Flanigan created a brand new vocal sound. Over the years, the individual membership of The Four Freshmen has changed. Bob Flanigan retired from performing in 1992, but he continues as the group's mentor and he personally auditioned all of the groups current members. Present members Brian Eichenberger, Curtis Calderon, Vince Johnson, and Bob Ferriera share with Flanigan a strong commitment to the Freshmen tradition of superb vocal sound. The Four Freshmen represent the best of vocal groups singing today.
