This double album contains every studio recording from the band's first session in May 1949 to the session of September 1955. The 50 digitally re-mastered tracks include two alternative takes and two other tracks never previously released on LP or CD. Review: Trad Jazz - I bought an EP with four of these tracks in 1950. They sound even better on CD. Review: A Bit of Real Jazz - When I began to learn to play traditional jazz fourty years ago I was loaned a vinyl copy of a firehouse five recording. It was pure magic then and of course it still is now though much more pleasant to listen to on c.d. format.

Anyone who loves Dixieland music will absolutely love this group. A more talented group of musicians will be hard to find.......from the minute the first cut begins, ones' toes are tapping and body swaying with the electricity this group has. One will recognize many of the tunes......others will quickly become a favorite. I first heard this group on old radio shows, like Bing Crosby, and that started me searching out their music. This first volume only makes me want more, more, more!

ずっと前からディズニーランドで流れているようなjazzの音源を探していました。 amazonでのレビューなどからこのこの人達かも! という思いで購入。 正解でした。 今のところこのCD聞いている間は、普段のネガティブな発想は出てこない程にごきげんな内容です。 この価格でこのボリュームも大満足。 教えてくれた方々に感謝です!

Die Entstehungsgeschichte der Band ist so außergewöhnlich wie ihr Name.So stammen fast alle Musiker aus den Studios Walt Disneys.Ihre Hauptaufgabe war also nicht das Musizieren,sondern das Zeichnen oder auch Schreiben für den großen Meister des Zeichentrickfilms selbst. Zum Leader wurde Ward Kimball,der Posaunist gekürt.Zu Beginn 1945,wurde noch mit einem Bass-Saxophon gespielt,doch bald ging man zur Tuba über.Die anderen Musiker spielten Trompete,Klarinette,Klavier,Banjo und Schlagzeug. Die Band spielte schon bald in original Feuerwehruniformen mit Hüten und einer Sirene,die Kimball "spielte".Er war auch hin und wieder am Waschbrett aktiv. Ich würde den Stil als "reinen" Dixieland bezeichnen,mit schrammendem Banjo und fröhlichem Sound.Das Ganze wurde dann sehr swingend präsentiert,auch wenn manche Effekte nicht immer meinen Vorstellungen entsprechen. Die Aufnahmen hier stammen wohl alle um die Zeit 1950-1954,denn eine genaue Auflistung der Daten fehlt leider. Wenn man keine großen "jazzhistorischen" Aufnahmen erwartet,aber schön swingende Aufnahmen hören möchte,wird sich an den vielen Standards(z.B.:Tiger Rag,Sweet Georgia Brown,St.Louis Blues,Basin'Street Blues) erfreuen,aber auch an manch' seltenen Stück seinen Spaß haben(z.B.:Brass Bell,Lonesome Mama Blues,Alabama Jubilee).

Two CDs of jazz music from the Firehouse Five plus 2. It was interesting to me to learn that this group started with cartoonists in Disney studios playing along with records on their lunch break.
