Three Hits and a Miss vocal jazz group

Premiering in 1995 at the Great American History Theatre in St. Paul, Minnesota, Three Hits and a Miss has entertained audiences of all ages throughout the United States and Europe. They have performed in New York, California and many venues in between. Their vocals have hit the airwaves via international and national television (PBS) as well as guest spots on Public Radio and "The Singers Voice" jazz series. With their delightful "high fidelity harmony," they are proud to bring this time-honored style of music into the new century.

Discography

Mixing It Up

Minnesota-based Swing/Pop/Jazz quartet 3 Hits and a Miss, founded in 1995, really come into their vocal power with "Mixing," their third excellent CD. Return with us now to the 1940s (covers of the Turtles' "Happy Together," the 5th Dimensions' "Up, Up and Away/Aquarius," the Mamas and the Papas' "California Dreamin'" and Lennon/McCartney's "Nowhere Man" and "Got to Get You Into My Life" notwithstanding)--this is wonderfully crafted "high-fidelity" harmony. The afore-mentioned covers fit in beautifully because they have the kind of beautiful melodies that could have been hits in the 40s. All accompanied, these 12 hits just keep on comin': "Bounce Me Brother with a Solid Four/Four," "Pop Goes the Weasel," "Goody Goody," "Glow Worm," "Dream" and bonus track, Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land." This CD is big fun from start to finish, and 3 Hits and a Miss are having it--they prove that they can sing with the best of any musical period!

Sing Sing Swing

Jody Briskey, Rob Dorn, Jerry Elbernd and JP Fitzgibbons, missionaries of "high fidelity harmony" are determined to preserve the music of the 1940s and 50s with fresh, new recordings. In 12 (accompanied) fun covers, they tip their hats to the Pied Pipers, Merry Macs, Modernaires, Rosemary Clooney ("Mambo Italiano") and the Lettermen ("Canadian Sunset" and L-O-V-E). There's a great "Radio Cavalcade/Glow worm/Mairzy Doats" medley. Other favorites: "I'll Never Smile Again," "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree," "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," "I Got Rhythm/It Don't Mean A Thing" and "Memories of You." This CD is a swinging, foot-tapping good time!

Sentimental Journey

This fully-accompanied recording will be a joy for all of those who still long for the glory days of vocal harmony - the 'forties-and the groups who were the purveyors of that sound - the Merry Macs, Pied Pipers and the like. This contemporary quartet of three men and one woman has as its purpose the revitalization of these masterpieces of songwriting - "Over The Rainbow," "Angel Eyes" and "Pennies From Heaven" are just a few-sung in the characteristic close harmony style. Each group member has paid their dues in musical theater, and they bring a refreshing joie de vivre to their performance, whether singing an uptempo number such as the self-penned "Three Hits And A Miss" (a group bio of sorts) or "I'll Never Smile Again," an anthem to the disconsolate. Accomplished musicianship throughout - and a lot of fun.
