포 프레시맨

포 프레시맨(The Four Freshmen)은 미국의 남성 보컬 사중창단이다. 4명이 자아내는 모던한 하모니는 코러스 그룹 가운데에서도 으뜸으로 손꼽히겠으며 플레이어로서도 1급이다. 돈 바버(기타)와 그의 동생 로스(드럼·트럼펫), 켄 에레이어(트럼펫·베이스), 봅 프라니건(트롬본·베이스)이 오리지널 멤버로서, 인디애나폴리스의 아서 조단 음악원에서 결성되었으며 1956년부터는 에레이어를 대신하여 켄 알버스(트럼펫·멜로폰)가 참가하였다. 스탠 켄턴의 인정을 받아 레코드계에도 진출하였다. 뛰어난 테크닉과 재즈적 표현으로 절찬을 받아 1950-1960년대에 걸쳐 때때로 다운비트지(誌) 등의 인기투표에서 최우수 재즈 보컬 그룹으로 선출되고 있다.

1948년 인디애나에서 설립되었으며 1950년대 중순에 인기에서 절정을 찍었다. 마지막 오리지널 멤버는 1993년 은퇴했다.
