The Firehouse Five Plus Two Story

CD-Charts > Music > Dixieland
by: Firehouse Five Plus Two

Release Date February 03, 1994
I am no musical scholar but i have always been fascinated by the Prosperous, wild, and immoral times of the roaring 20's. When you listen to this music you can picture those times with cop cars chasing after gangsters in a high speed chase with Tommy Guns Blazing. You can picture happy people doing the Charleston and flappers doing their naughty dances. You can picture guys like Babe Ruth and Jack Dempsey in a speak easy pounding down beer after beer and giving every cutie on the dance floor a spin. This music captures the upbeat happy times of the ragtime, dixeland wild era of our countries history. If you liked the music in the film The Sting......if you like Rag and Dixie.......then this is that music on Steroids. Most reviews classify this group as ... Read More:

CD-Charts > Music > Dixieland
by: Eddie Condon

Release Date June 15, 2004
While it is not fair for me to review this CD, I would like
to provide a track listing for it. I had looked on several
websites to no avail, but I finally stumbled upon this one at www.cityhallrecords.com. I hereby credit them appropriately.
"This CD opens with a dozen tracks that were first issued on a couple of Savoy 10" LPs. Nominally this was Eddie Condon's date, but his role was that of a spiritual rector. To quote from Jack McKinney, "Of course, the perennial leader himself, Eddie Condon, who adds his own facitiae to the ensemble more with his humor than his 'guit-box'." Besides Will Bill Davison's energetic playing, it may be the solos by Ed Hall on clarinet or Gene Schroeder on piano that fascinate today's listeners. Yet, ... Read More:

CD-Charts > Music > Dixieland
by: Louis Armstrong

Release Date September 19, 2006
Satchmo's contribution to modern music & pop culture is legendary. He was a great trumpeteer & influential jazz singer. He was already 63 years old when he had his first and only #1 hit "Hello Dolly". He is also believed to have started what's known as scatting. The story is during the recording of "Heebie Jeebies" (the last track in this collection) the sheet music fell to the floor so he just started vocalizing without using actual words.

The set starts with his last and probably most popular hit "What A Wonderful World" which didn't become a hit until 1988, almost 17 years after his passing. The rest of the collection runs in reverse chronological order spanning four decades down to his years with the Hot Five and Hot Seven. There are also collaborations ... Read More:
