Voices In Modern - The Four Freshman

Circus

Voices In Modern
The Four Freshmen
Capitol Records T522
1955

From the back cover: It was back home in Indiana that Ross and Don Barbour, Ken Error, and Bob joined forces in 1948 to become the Four Freshman. Soon after that auspicious occasion the group was appearing in many Midwest night spots, and national fame followed in short order. Ross plays drums and trumpet; brother Don plays guitar and shares vocal solos with Ken, who handles trumpet, bass and french horn; Bob plays bass and trombone; and all together they comprise one of the most versatile small cameos being heard today.
