The Firehouse Five Plus Two Story : 4 of 5
5.11.2003

The Firehouse Five Plus Two is so amazing because the band is made up of amateur musicians who loved 20s and 30s hot jazz and just wanted to play it - and also just happened to be some of Disney's top animators, including several of the famous "Nine Old Men"! I've never really taken the time to listen to this style of music closely before, and I have to say that it really grows on you! It's fascinating to hear trombone, trumpet and clarinet all soloing like crazy, with tuba playing the bass and piano and banjo plunking out the chord structure (backed by lots of snare rolls, of course). This two CD set covers tons of wonderful material, but for me, the best part is thinking of these fantastically creative guys truly having a good time and playing for excited crowds at Disneyland!
