This is a wonderful show made in Japan in 1964 featuring The Four Freshmen's Group 4: Bob Flanigan, Bill Comstock, Ross Barbour, and Ken Albers. Things to note are the high production value - for the time the audio quality was quite high. Also note the staging and camera use. Certainly this was a first class production where the Four Freshmen really can look their best. Very special thanks goes to Yas Ichiura, the Japanese Representative to the Four Freshmen Society, for finding this gem of Fresh history!

  • You're welcome. My dear friend Yas is Japanese, and was able to find these nearly lost treasures and bring them to all of us. I'm glad you are enjoying them!

  • @mharbaugh Would it be possible to get this video (even a copy)? Would it be available in Japan? I first saw the Freshman in London in 1960 - and they have made me feel good ever since. It was amazing they got their sound through just one microphone. Their style of harmony was unique - such a warm sound. And boy could they swing - my favourite swinging number is " Day by Day". The five 5 trombones are perfect for "Angel Eyes". Thanks for posting this.

  • @hommefriday Unfortunately I don't have any hard copies of these performance. But they will always be on Youtube!

  • my favorite all time vocal group. I met them at Coral Gables night club in E Lansing, Michigan in 1957.  They were very personable and welcoming to their fans. Unique style and harmony was so easy to listen to.

  • R.I.P. Ross and Bob..who recently went to spend eternity with all of the jazz greats.. Rest well boys..

  • The Fabulous Four Freshmen!

  • @MyToniolo : ce genre d'harmonisation est profondement americain, de la veritable amerique provincial. J'etais enfant a 150km du village -- Columbus Indiana -- d'ou ont sorti les Four Freshmen.
