Why wait for a funeral? If they ever appear anywhere near you, please go see Group 22 in concert. You won't believe your ears! They are absolutely incredible! Worth any admission price! We'll be flying to Reno next October to hear them at the annual Four Freshmen Society convention as well as when they get near us during their Florida swing this winter.
Been a fan since 1953. It's inspiring to hear these young singers. Keeep it up. If I were to have a funral, I'd want them to sing at it...Long live the Frosh !!!!!
Ah Johnny...you certainly hit the nail on the head with those comments! We're quite anxious for August to roll around so we can spend three days with Group 22 along with several past members, including our #1 hero - the "original" Ross Barbour. Joining him will no doubt be Greg Stegeman, Ray Brown and a few others. I just love the FFS conventions!
Its a testament to the enduring value of the Four Freshmen's music that 50 years after their last substantial hit they are still playing live and still attracting new listeners. Today's musicians are pale and shallow compared to this authentic American masterpieces of a agroup.
Aren't they though? If you ever get a chance to hear Group 22, do so because they are great! They'll be in Atlanta for the annual convention in August. We'll be there.
Greg Stegeman played the bass and Brian Eichenberger played the piano. We did a cruise with Group 20 around the Hawaiian Islands in 2000. During the trip the electronic keyboard "crashed" and they've never replaced it. It's a shame because Brian is a really good pianist.
Who played bass and piano on this recording? It's a very good version of them! I've only heard the current line up and am proud to call them my guiding light in jazz (aside from Frank Sinatra and Bill Watrous[trombone]). Simply astounding. Thank you very much for posting this!
