The “four brothers” of the Woody Herman sax section achieved legendary status with this tune; later Lambert, Hendricks and Ross recorded a vocal version, followed by Manhattan Transfer's rendition. Paris Rutherford's setting simplifies the vocals slightly while retaining all the drive of the original. Awesome closer to any concert! Available separately: SATB, SAB, ShowTrax CD. Rhythm parts available digitally (pno, gtr, b, dm). Duration: ca. 3:30.

Engaging Jazz Choral for Student Ensembles
This SAB arrangement of 'Four Brothers' is fantastic for school choirs. The difficulty is just right for intermediate groups, offering a challenge without being overwhelming. Paris Rutherford's clear engraving makes reading easy, and the rhythmic drive is excellent for teaching ensemble precision. It's an encouraging piece to introduce jazz vocal styles, making it a great concert closer!

Fun and Accessible Manhattan Transfer Classic!
I absolutely love singing this arrangement of 'Four Brothers' by Manhattan Transfer! Paris Rutherford did a great job simplifying the vocals just enough so it's achievable for my weekend singing group, but it still sounds incredibly authentic. The swing feel is infectious, and it's such a joy to perform. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to sing a classic jazz standard.
