Great gems from musicals that dissapeared.......2004-11-30

Songs from 1987's "Smile" make this well worth the price. The previously unreleased material from the late, great Howard Ashman deserves to have it's moment in the spotlight.

Also, there's Judy Kuhn's beautiful performance on "Starfish", Christine Baranski's vampy turn on "Sherry".

Finally, there's" New Words" from "One, Two, Three, Four, Five". This show has been restaged, by small theatre groups, under the title "History Loves Company". "New Words" is by far the best number of this show and Liz Callaway's voice fills with love as she sings this lullaby.

For a consummate musical theatre fan who's heard it all, this disc is a refreshing look at what has been lost over the years.

some gold mixed with dross.......2003-12-21

Some of these songs desrve to be unsung. But then you get a showstopper like Sherry and you wonder how could this show have flopped? That number alone makes this cd worth purchasing.I also enjoyed Marvin Hamlisch's toe tapping title song - Smile.There are also a few other lovely melodies which makes this cd a nice addition to a Broadway collection.

Re-released at last, feels like you're there.......2005-08-24

This fantastic and popular Dixieland jazz band played at Disneyland, and this is a live recording of their show there in 1962. The Dukes original LP "Disneyland" album has been out of print for awhile, but is valued by collectors as not only the groups best work, but one of the hottest Dixieland Jazz records ever made - period! Now it has been re-released at last in 2004 on the "Collectibles" label and we are thankful. It is a live album, and some of the old standards are longer and more improvised. The onstage banter is really nice to hear, like a window in time. The audience knows how lucky they are to see these guys in person.

During the opening of Disneyland in 1955, Walt Disney initiated music programs at Disneyland that allowed top acts of the Day to play in several small intimate venues at the Disneyland Park. These were bands that went through the audition process, as well as famous groups. There was a bandstand by the Riverfront, they had acts perform at Plaza Garden, Frontierland Bandstand, New Orleans Square (built later than the rest), Tommorrowland stage, the Mark Twain Riverboat, and the Golden Horseshoe Saloon. Big acts like Louis Armstrong, Firehouse Five plus Two, Elliot Brothers, the Mellomen, all played Disneyland after dark on Fridays and Saturdays in June through September. This was known as "Date Night at Disneyland". Walt Disney had a strong regard for Dixieland music and in 1960 Disneyland begin hosting an annual Dixieland Festival in the fall. Eight groups would perform at one or other of the inddor and outdoor venues. Then an evening show was set up with thousands of chairs on the riverfront, and each band would take their turn playing on a raft that would slowly float back and forth in front of the crowd during it's set. This set is from the 1962 festival, and the recording is their live performance in the Plaza Garden, 6 tracks in all. Some are as long as 7 minutes, as the boys got improvisational as the mood hit them.


Included are th great original liner notes from the LP, in the CD booklet. And what a deal, we also get their 1964 Worlds Fair album thrown in, with 10 more tracks. Two re-mastered albums for the price of 1 CD. I highly reccommend!

Original Dukes of Dixieland.......2004-03-27

This is a CD of two "original" Dukes of Dixieland recordings. The Dukes at Disneyland (1962) and Stuttin at the World's Fair (1964). Both are great sessions, the one at Disneyland is live and includes some great songs which are longer in length than most of the previous Assunto's recordings. This may be considered their best recording. The songs "Saints", "Royal Garden Blues" and "Canal Sreet Blues" are really great.

Struttin at the Worlds Fair is also very good. This recording is one of the last recordings that trombonist Fred Assunto did before he became ill. Trumpeter Frank Assunto's work is outstanding as usual. Also "Sweethearts on Parade" shows off Frank's fine singing voice. This CD is a must buy for the Real Dukes of Dixeland fan! Jerry Fuller on clarinet and Barrett Deems on drums are also featured.

Pete Fountain Fan.......2004-03-24

Two great recordings from one of the greatest jazz bands ever. Highlights include: Original Dixieland Jazz Band One-Step, Wolverine Blues, Washington Post March and more. This will grab you and keep you going. Highly recommended, as are all of the Real (Assunto) Dukes recordings.

A great album!.......2002-08-09

This is a GREAT album for anyone who loves Dixieland!It's a great family album,and it's also great for parties,too!For kids,it's a great alternative to the drug,violence and sex-promoting profanity-filled heavy metal [stuff] that kids listen to.Kids may like this album so much that they toss thier heavy metal CDs into the fireplace.

Just a fun, classic CD.......2001-10-02

Makes for mighty enjoyable listening.

I would give anything to go back in time to this night.......2001-04-28

"Fire Chief" Ward Kimball as band leader and the "Firehouse Five Plus Two" a Dixieland jazz band that made at least 10 albums. They performed on the Bing Crosby radio show, were featured in a 1950's Walt Disney TV special called "One Hour in Wonderland" that predated the weekly show. They appeared on "Dateline Disneyland" (ABC's Opening Day live television broadcast) in front of the firehouse on Main Street USA, in the parade, and finally performing at the now extinct Plantation House resteraunt in Frontierland. They also appeared on the original Mickey Mouse Club's "Anything Can Happen Day" on and performed two numbers, "I Want to be a Fireman" and the "Tiger Rag". This appearance is available on the DVD "The Best of the Mickey Mouse Club" here at Amazon.com. It is mislabeled on the DVD as November 12, 1964 which was actually a re-run of the original episode that almost 10 years earlier; the footage of the second song reappeared in a "Wonderful World of Disney" episode called "At Home with Donald Duck", although the footage was edited out for a 1976 re-run. On January 3, 1964 they appeared on another episode,
They Disneyland 10th Anniversary". They had other appearances in non-Disney fare.

The amazing thing is that they did all of this while working as busy top Walt Disney Studio animators. Truth is that they liked to blow off steam on breaks and after work. They played in the studio offices or on a studio soundstage in the early days. Their jam sessions caused animators, storymen, and inbetweeners to dance with the ladies from the color and ink crew right in the soundstage. As members of the group were some of his best studio animators, Walt Disney liked them and let them do their own thing on the side. But he also loved their music and onstage antics. He even invited them to play in the Disneyland park on Opening Day in 1955 and regularly after that, and later to even appear on his TV show.

The band was not owned or controlled by the Disney Company in any way. They moonlighted, recorded albums, played in nightclubs, and had alot of fun along the way. The FF5+2 was not some polished studio band with tight engineering, but an exercise in spontaneity and improvisation. They truly didn't even believe in practicing, just havin' fun. Maybe that is the best part of listening to them, because they sound great and are very full of life and laughter. They still make you want to dance along. Interestingly, as animators they were used to creative sound effects and included this art in their music too. For example they used an anvil on one track, sirens, bells and whistles.... and it works. This album is great for Disney history buffs since it was recorded at the nostalgic Golden Horsehoe Saloon in Disneyland and you can hear them bantering with the audience, who is going nuts over their music. The voice you hear introducing each song is none other than Ward Kimball himself. They played at different spots throughout the Disneyland park throughout the '60's. This album is one of the shortest produced by the band, but very unique due to its LIVE status. You can hear the gang joking and hamming it up with each other during tracks and inbetween. I only wish I had a video of this performance. Very clean sound on this re-release, high quality CD. The Good Time Jazz label was kind enough to reproduce not only the original cover but even the liner notes. The actual number of musicians in the group changed from time to time, but at this time it was truly 7.

Start your FF+2 collection with this recording and you will want more, they are just great fun!! Two of Disney's famous 9 Old Men are in the group, Frank Thomas (on piano) and the irrepresible band leader Ward Kimball (trombone). The cover art is a photo of the band at Disneyland in the Firetruck. Check out the cover artwork from band member and animator Ward Kimball on some of their other recordings.

Live performance by a lively group!.......1999-12-05

In their early live performances, the Firehouse Five Plus Two mixed their music with lots of slapstick humor, so much so that their genuine musicianship was often overlooked. Most of their recordings were done in studio, and the clowning which was an essential part of the Firehouse Five experience was largely filtered out. But this album is a live performance, recorded at Disneyland's Golden Horseshoe restaurant. Leader Ward Kimball's crazy introductions, some of the asides with band members, and famous bits like dropping the anvil on somebody's foot, are all perserved here, along with some really marvelous Dixieland music. The tunes are classic Dixieland numbers, the musicianship is exceptional. More than any of their other recordings, this disk presents the whole Firehouse Five Plus Two.

"The First".......2007-04-15

Greetings,

I am one of the few who actually got to see "The First" -- a musical about Jackie Robinson.

I do not have this CD but wish it had the title song from "The First" ...don't think it exists anywhere. I actually still remember some dialogue/lyrics from it and would like to hear it/read the words again.
I also would like to know if any version or scenes from the play are available to do in a school. Anybody?
Have a nice day!

MISSGYDER TOTALLY MISGUIDED.......2004-07-21

This is not so much a review as a rebuttal; I was the orchestrator for this album, MISSGYDER's assertion of totally synthesized sound is totally incorrect: the charts were played by 4 reeds, 3 trumpets, 2 trombones, tuba, harp, percussion, drums, keyboards, and a string section. I sorry the sound didn't meet the approval of the reviewer labeled MISSGYDER, but I can testify to the reality of the orchestra, the players, and my scores which are at the Library of congress.

Great songs from not-so-great musicals.......2003-04-19

I was given this for my birthday, along with Unsung Sondheim, my favorite composer. I was excited, and a little bit skeptical because I've NEVER heard of these musicals. Once I started though, I was hooked. I want sheet music to so many, they're fun to sing along to, or just to listen to they great singer/actresses they got. My personal favorites are Smile, Sherry, Ragtime Romeo, and Silverware. I recommend this for all Broadway Babies and theatre buffs like me!

Poor Production Ruins Good Product.......2001-05-15

Unsung Musicals is a great idea, presenting songs from shows that didn't get their due on Broadway. However, the production of this CD is very poor, using poorly synthesized instruments and cheesy drum tracks. I could have recreated these sounds using a home software program, they're so bad! The songs themselves are good, but the album is so horrid in terms of listening value that you'd be embarrased to put this in your CD player. I recommend this CD only for students and professionals in the music theatre world as a way to learn songs you wouldn't normally hear, but other than that, I can't recommend it.

Unsung perhaps, but often wonderful.......2001-02-14

Just because a musical was not successful, that doesn't mean that there were no good songs in it (pardon the double negative). These selections may be songs that are not well known from shows in the same category, but some of these are real gems, sung by fine show singers. My favorites are "Smile" (from Smile), "Ragtime Romeo" (The Vamp), "Sherry!" (Sherry!), and "She's Roses" (Drat! The Cat!).
