I'm blown away. Lost for words. That song was written the year I was born. Eighty four years later this group makes we want to live another eighty four years when there are groups like this bringing the songs of my youth back to life. God bless you guys and gals.
I absolutely agree. Their voices are like fine-tuned instruments in concert!
Yeah ! Eighty more years, Two more World Wars, another financial crisis, and the climate mess.
I've been involved in acappella for decades, and this is one of the best arrangements I've ever heard -- ever.
Can you believe that talent like this exists and is unknown to the masses? This group should be doing super bowl national anthems.
Well, it's not completely unknown. And, let's face it ... "the masses" generally don't have discerning tastes, which this group definitely requires. That said, it would be good, particularly for the members of the group, if more people were aware of how infinitely good they are.
One of the tightest jazz vocals I've ever heard. Wonderful arrangement , Jared.
I know this comment will probably get buried, but I just wanted to let yall know that you just made my night. I've smiled unlike I have in a long while
One of my favorite songs. Thank you! 💖💖💖
Thank You Lord Jesus Christ for music ✝️😭🙏
This is beautiful 🇿🇦
Absolutely world class.
A cappella !!!! This is the true way to sing a great ballad !!! Fantastic job you guys !!! Wonderful harmony !!!!!
Hey, cdmjazz. It isn’t often you read about the 4Freshman and the HiLo’s. I just turned 90, so that means I was a jazz a cappella fan way back when. I even sang in a quartet while at Washington University back in the early 50’s in a competition which for years was barber shop renditions. We won it two years running with 4Freshman songs. I have loved jazz for most of my life which means I was listening to the big bands, especially Basie. Love Manhattan Transfer. Now I listen to Pentatonix, Quad and now these guys. A cappella is alive and well!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻
WOW, JUST WOW!
2024, listening, sound beautifully
Just gorgeous. Great song to start with, in an incisive arrangement, and done with precision by five superb singers.
Wonderful voices! 🎶🎼🎵🌟💯🌟💯🌟💯💎💎💎💎💎😉🙏🇧🇷
Y'all going straight to heaven. If y'all sing this song to God he would cry. 🫶
I'm delighted by discovering this group. This is a gorgeous rendition of a gorgeous classic. Reminds me of The Manhattan Transfer's Nightingale Sang... but with your own unique talents.
Magnificent.
I'm in tears !!!! Makes me think of All of my grand parents!!!
The bridge in this four years later still just instantly brings tears to my eyes. Music is so powerful, and you guys exhibit that power well. Love the dissonance coming out of the bridge into the final section of the tune
What a delightful surprise to happen across your channel while randomly surfing RUclips music. Outstanding!
I mean, I've listened to this over and over. It's just ridiculously good. There are so many delectable moments, shadings...Jesus.
One of my all-time favorite songs - and you do it beautifully! Gorgeous arrangement! So glad to hear vocal jazz doing well in younger lives.
Wow! Your blended voices are spectacularly accurate and on note! What a complex arrangement, and how beautifully presented!
Simply exquisite and flawless. Makes me cry and smile in equal measure. Congrats and thank you.
now my favorite vocal ensemble group
You guys are stupendous, a real delight to listen to. Thank you so much for such a delightful presentation !! Out of sight!!!
BRAVII!!!!! WHOOOHHHH
It's hardly the "elevator music" of jazz. It's the Schubert, Beethoven, and Ella Fitzgerald of jazz. It's the very essence of jazz, the very essence of music. Whether it's jazz or not jazz, however you want to categorize it, it's world-class magnificent!
So beautiful❤
Господи!!! Это какая то сказка! Какая гармония! Сколько труда! Бравооо ребята!!!🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
It does not get any better than this. This is perfection. As good as the King's Singers. Stunning.
Goose Bumps!!!!!! That was AWESOME!!!!! I.m a big band buff and Love groups of "The Moderates" and others!!! Your close harmonies is spot on!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!
Another level .. Wow !
Wow beatifully shocking! Inpressive
Demasiado bello...en todos los sentidos...
Claro que si!
Eso hizo estremecer a mi corazon.
Fantástico,no hay nada mas hermoso wue la voz humana,este grupo te sube al cielo.
Such exquisite harmony. No accompaniment needed. Why don’t we get to hear more of this! Gorgeous.
Wow... years late to the party, but that was stellar. Bravo!
OK, I will admit nothing thrills me more than great acapella, but this group and this song just blows me away. Tears to my eyes and chills up and down my spine. I’m apparently a bit late to the party here, but glad I found the door as I searched out inspiration for my own keyboard arrangement for a vocalist accompaniment. Amazing performance from incredible talent that spills forth from this group.
Lovely & Beautiful.
Absolutely the best…!!
Congratulations..🎯
Reminiscent of the fantastic Hi Los. Marvelous!
Love this! This was my wife’s and my wedding song 30 years ago. We just celebrated our anniversary and I recorded it for her as a surprise...me and piano accompaniment. Your version is stunning. I absolutely loved it. Thank you for posting it and having such heavenly voices that perfectly blend together. Bravo!!
This song has always been a favorite of mine and I’ve heard many artist’s rendition of this over the years but this is by far in a unique class of its own. The vocal arrangement is first class. If I may I would just like you to consider an idea I have for that climatic tag ending you do so flawlessly well. At 3:47 when you guys sustain the word “night”, I think it would have an even more dramatic effect if the female lead singer “waits” a little and render “the nearness of you” rubato style instead of coming in too early. Other than that, Mr Hoagy Carmichael must smiling from ear to ear after listening to you guys perform this classic, historic and beautiful song. Keep up your magnificent work! ☮️🙏🎵🌺
Just...in tears. Thank you
Love the use of cluster chords, and the occasional flatted 7th. What really strikes me, though is the complete understanding of the song.
Well, THIS... is fairly sublime !
Brings back memories. My marriage theme song.
This group is absolutely wonderful to listen to. Great harmony!!
Nonstop chills! So great, the intonation is so on point! Such rich harmony, lush!
Bravo❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Almost makes one cry!
I'm floored, choked up. Dazzling singing and arrangement -- just beautiful.
That was sublime! You are the next generation Manhattan Transfer! Can't wait to hear more of your music!
Bravo bravo bravo
Either my drink of water is too cold or you guys are sending chills up my spine!! Your sounds move me. Thank you for finding each other and playing together.
Excellent in studio or otherwise!
LOVE THIS!!!
Holy cow...that is absolutely enchanting. Never heard anything better in my life.
This group is SERIOUSLY good.
@Gary Schneider: Yes, it is!
No se puede creer la armonía de estas voces !!!
Sublime and powerful!
Hola, impresionante!!!!!!!!! wow
It is wonderful.
This is the most amazing arrangement!!! And beautifully executed!
You guys are fabulous! What a joy to listen to that magnificent harmony. Sooooooo very sweet! Loved it!
Absolutely beautiful.
Can’t get enough of your unreal harmony.You are the best of all!
As a long-time fan of the Freshmen, the HiLos, Singers Unlimited and New York Voices, I am truly impressed! Your intonation and handling of close voicings is impeccable and the diction is marvelous. Hoping to hear more from you.
That last chord resolution was amazing! Thank you for your artistry.
Agree
Add Anita Kerr to the list. Beautiful, guys.
Some angels sing jazz

Ребята держали тему. ..у меня стекла тряслись от резонанса. Рыжий красавец !!! Так держать!
Fantastic!!👍👍
3:39 goosebumps!!
Smooth, balanced... 👏👏👏 from Italy . Lu.
So I think the very definition of creativity is taking something that everyone has access to (in this case a voice and four friends) and with the application of talent, commitment and time… turn something so mundane into something so magical and astounding. My God you guys are wonderful, off to see if I can find more stuff from Highline! Hoagy would be proud.
I'm in love ❤
I like how this group is not focused on the camera, but each musician is free to close their eyes or to pan the gaze around to others. Those fluid motions enhance their senses and help them create that feather's edge.
Clear and Crisp, great acupella with Harmony!
My GOD!!! Wonderful
Thank you for that.❤
WOW ! You have it ALL !....Blend, Intonation, Dynamics...& killer arrangement ! You are one of the BEST vocal groups I've ever heard !
Jesus that was gorgeous.
Magical!
Goosebumps
Bravo, exactly what we need in times wa are told to keep distance, just be and stay close to each other :-) Brussels greetings to Brooklyn B-)
Phenomenal
Maravilhoso!!! obrigado
