Description

UNIQUE and RARE - Disneyland "Firehouse Five Plus Two at Disneyland" JAZZ Album. (R9)

 

Fun facts about the "Firehouse Five Plus Two at Disneyland"... 

It started as a lark. Several of the cartoon animators at the Disney Studios were amateur musicians. They jammed together a bit during their off hours, always had a great time, and decided to form a regular Dixieland band. Thus was the Firehouse Five Plus Two formed in 1949.

Frequent visitors to Main Street know and love the firehouse band; they charm visitors and bring wonderful music to the town plaza at the front of the park. But did you know that this isn’t the original firehouse band in Disneyland?

 

The Firehouse Five Plus Two jazz band that started in the 40s, long before Disneyland opened. The members consisted of Disney animation employees, formed by Ward Kimball, one of the Nine Old Men. After discovering many in the department loved Jazz, Kimball started lunchtime playing sessions. They went through two names, The Huggajeedy Eight and the Sun Gabriel Valley Blue Blowers, before settling on The Firehouse (a fire engine Kimball restored) Five Plus Two (to reflect the number of members).

Walt encouraged the band, enlisting them to play at company Christmas parties and at Disneyland…one condition: that they never fully abandon their day jobs at the studio.

The Firehouse Five Plus Two played together for four decades before hanging up their instruments in the 1970s. This band’s legacy extends far beyond the park borders, and can be largely credited with starting the ongoing tradition of live bands performing in the parks.

Please ask questions prior to bidding, thank you.
