Coral Gables United Church of Christ

To many music enthusiasts, the Four Freshmen

need no introduction. Starting as college

students in 1948, the young group won fame

with their renditions of Graduation Day,

Poinciana, Day by Day, and It’s a Blue World.

Stan Kenton played a major role in advancing the

early career of the Four Freshman, and their

unique sound strongly influenced other vocal

groups, such as Manhattan Transfer, Take 6, and

the Beach Boys.

Now, more than 65-years later, the names and

faces have changed a few times. But, the

harmony and legendary sound of the Four Freshmen continue to fascinate audiences worldwide.

Today’s Four Freshmen ensemble is considered by many to be the greatest jazz vocal group of all time. The

current quartet consists of highly-educated, musically-diverse young men who provide their own

accompaniment. They not only preserve the Freshmen sound, they enhance it with their youth, vitality, and

talent, giving new treatments to the Great American Songbook. They continue to tour worldwide with sold-out

audiences, sharing their unique brand of magnetism, stage presence and approach to the Four Freshmen

standards. This Community Arts Program 2014 Summer Concert Series event will take the audience, smiling,

into the heart of America…and onto the holiday!
