		They came to attention of various jazz figures of the era, including Dizzy Gillespie, Woody Herman, and Stan Kenton, and it was Kenton who took matters into his own hands, bringing the group to the attention of Capitol Records, where the bandleader had a longstanding relationship.

	The Four Freshmen vocal harmony group
		The Four Freshmen were signed to Capitol afer auditioning for the label in 1950, an audition set up for them courtesy of bandleader Stan Kenton, who had heard them when they were appearing at the Esquire Lounge in Denton, Ohio.
		The vital sound of the Four Freshmen was popular on pre-rock'n'roll college campuses, the days of crewcuts, cardigans and poodle skirts, so it¹s appropriate that "Angel Eyes" is a beautifully-recorded CD from one of their many live 1950s college concerts.
		The Freshmen have become a sort of post-graduate institution for singers everywhere; their approach to chord voicings - dropping the root of a five-part chord, and the ingenious placement of the remaining notes - galvanized audiences and critics alike.
