"Voices/Funny" by The Four Freshmen is another of those 2-LPs-on-one-CD re-releases that we love so much. That's particularly true in this case, as the Freshmen were such an influential jazz/pop group, with a smooth sound that kept the Freshmen high on the charts from the early 1950s, when "Voices in Modern" was recorded, into the mid-60s, when "Funny " was recorded. All 23 cuts are accompanied, but these songs are the very definition of "classic:" "Over the Rainbow," "My Heart Stood Still," "The Nearness of You," "Stormy Weather," "Mood Indigo," "It's A Blue World," "Funny How Time Slips Away," "Graduation Day," "Charade," "Wake the Town and Tell the People"Šgreat stuff by composers like Harold Arlen, Richard Rodgers, Hoagy Carmichael, Duke Ellington and Henry Mancini. And the Freshmen's bright, upbeat sound is such that their covers of these songs are the ones that people remember and associate with the songs. This is a great collection of hits by a group whose work influenced jazz/pop music and generations of musicians!
