ITEM: Original U.S Lobby Card (11 by 14 inch) Movie Poster from the 1951 music romp, Hit Parade of 1951
featuring the legendary Firehouse Five Plus Two Disney jazz band led by Ward Kimball. RARE.
In the mid-1940s, a group of Walt Disney animators, artists, writers and musicians who loved jazz and collected records would gather around a phonograph at the studio during lunch breaks and play along with the records. The band eventually became Firehouse Five Plus Two, a Dixieland jazz group composed of Disney Studio personnel. Led by Ward Kimball, the group’s other members included Frank Thomas, Harper Goff, George Probert, and Eddie Forrest. The group performed on radio, TV, and live appearances, including opening day at Disneyland, the first of many performances at the park. Coming full circle, Firehouse Five Plus Two was caricatured in the Goofy cartoon How to Dance. They had a deep catalog of records on the Good Time Jazz label. The group disbanded in 1971.
