    5 out of 5 stars A "first" that was a triumph.......2005-08-19

    After years of doing their own accompaniment, the Four Freshmen & Five Trombones was the FF's first album with an orchestral backup - as well as arrangements by Pete Rugulo (who arranged many of Stan Kenton's early classics). I loved the album when it was first released on vinyl - in the spring of 1956 - and still love it today. The Freshmen renditions of "I Remember You" and "Angel Eyes" are the best I've heard by any artist. The album did well and was soon followed by the Five Trumpets album. In that collection "Goodbye" mournfully drags along, but snappy versions of "Easy Street" and "Got a Date With an Angel" add delight and verve to yet another triumph in jazz vocalization.

    5 out of 5 stars Two Great Albums, Four Freshmen, Five Trombones and Five Trumpets!.......2005-08-18

    Discovered by bandleader Stan Kenton in a small midwestern lounge in the fifties, The Four Freshmen became one of the most successful vocal groups in recorded history and these two Capitol recordings from the fifties are the "Freshmen" at their best. The "Five Trombones", is a marvelous blending of the quartet's voices and the mellow tones generated by five of the finest trombone players available. The "Five Trumpets" with the Freshmen is another stellar album. These guys were great, they played their own instuments and worked out the most impressive harmonies ever. This is not barbershop-this is hip and enjoyable musicianship. If you've never heard them before, after you listen to a sample, you may think that you are listening to The Beach Boys in their heyday-Brian Wilson was a huge fan and wanted to emulate the unique sound of The Four Freshman. Do yourself a favor, invite the "Freshmen" into your home.

    5 out of 5 stars Taking Barbershop to the Next Level!.......2005-07-22

    The Four Freshmen Scored big hits in early fifties, but rather than go with the formula of pure barbershop, they decided to do something different. Introducing cha-cha, Calypso, and blending them with jazzy horns and guitars, the Freshmen shook up some great oldies by Jerome Kern, George Gershwin, and Oscar Hammerstien, and made them alarmingly modern for the time. The uptempo songs are very jazzy, and are almost swing numbers. Listening to some of the tracks may remind you of Frank Sinatra. That isn't surprising because Sinatra, who was recording in Capitol at the same time as the Freshmen, shared the same recording style as them, taking the strength of their recognizable hit-making voices and surrounding them with new arrangements and different styles. Along with their incredible harmonies, this is what supposedly influenced the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson so much. A conceptual record like the Four freshmen and the Five Trombones foreshadowed concept albums like "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning" and "Pet Sounds," creating a specific mood for the listener which is sustained throghout the record.
    If I had to pick a standout track, it would be "Our Love is Here to Stay." Great barbershop and tight vocals from the boys always sound great, but the arrangment is the star of the track. The song begins with only vocals, and when the bass creeps in you realize you are listening to a wonderful new version of this almost unrecognizable old favorite.

    5 out of 5 stars Timeless.......2005-04-25

    At times, listening to this wonderful "twofer," I thought I had stumbled across some undiscovered Brian Wilson music. Wilson is very open in acknowledging the Freshmen as the inspiration for his arrangement of harmonies - and now I can see how and why.
    These guys are simply superb, and the songs are as relevant and listenable today as they were way back then.
    In very accessible form, this is wonderful music to have on the shelf, and more than occasionally on the player.

    5 out of 5 stars Sad Tunes Never Felt So Good.......2003-10-29

    The Freshmens' harmonies transform tunes like "The Night We Called It a Day" and "There Will Never Be Another You" into quixotically uplifting listening adventures. All the songs, really, are impeccably performed; this group was the finest of its kind for my money. (By the way, the group still exists in the form of a quartet of young replacements -- it's a kind of Menudoization but the new guys replicate the original group's sound pretty well and are worth a listen.) Anyway, reserve an evening for this classic collection and wallow in the tremendous arrangements and the pure sonic richness.

      5 out of 5 stars Five Trombones.......2006-06-20

      This is probably the best single album of the Freshmen if you could only own one. But don't buy this one, buy the two-fer CD with Five Trumpets and have two of the best Freshmen CD's.
