There's not much I can tell you about John Froman or this album. It came out in 1966 (Billboard listed it among new releases in the Nov. 5 issue) and has the appearance of a private label issue although the arrangements are far too sophisticated for a mere vanity project. The recording also sounds a bit dated, as though it could have been recorded sometime earlier.
Froman himself is a mystery too. There is no information on him, although there was a John Froman who issued a couple of instrumental 45s on the Felsted label in 1963. Could be the same person I suppose.
In any case here's a photo of Froman from the rear of the Wall Street album. Both Wall Street photos in this entry were previously published on the now inactive Record Robot blog in 2006.
Froman arranged all the tunes on Wall Street and wrote four originals, including the title track, available from the link below.

Needless to say none of Froman's material has surfaced in a digital format.
