4 Freshmen And 5 Trumpets

Goodbye
4 Freshmen And 5 Trumpets
Capitol Records T763
1957

Dick Reynolds wrote the arrangements and conducts. The five trumpets are Buddy Childers, Mannie Klein, San Rasey, Joe and Ray Triscari. Rhythm is handled by Milt Raskin, piano; Jack Marshall, guitar; Frank Carlson, drums; and Don Simpson, bass.

From Billboard - January 26, 1957: The Frosh have been riding the charts for months with their "Four Trombones" album and this figures to be a contender for heavy follow-up honors. They stick close to the standard groove throughout with the likes of "The Night We Called It A Day," "Give Me The Simple Life." "After You've Gone," etc. The Dick Reynolds workings are superior and a top notch back-up to the close modern stylings of these heavy album sellers. A sharp and colorful cover will help sell copies, but once the jockeys take over there'll be requests aplenty, anyway.
