Frisco Syncopators
Firehouse Stomp

Frisco Syncopators Home Page

For jazz fans who take their traditional jazz seriously, the Firehouse Five Plus Two (later Plus Three) were a terrific hot jazz band, who knew how to entertain while playing some of the best honest-to-goodness straight ahead ensemble jazz in the West Coast tradition founded by Lu Watters. On this recording, the Frisco Syncopators pay a rousing tribute to that great band. With the crisp two-cornet lead of Chris Tyle and Mike Bezin, the Syncopators, who include alumni of the FH5 George Probert and K.O. Eckland, rip through a program mostly associated with the Firehouse, capturing the same verve and energy (perhaps not quite the audacity) that challenge - to try (but not too earnestly which would be self-defeating) to catch that special joi de vivre that was the Firehouse Five's for twenty years and ended some twenty years ago. To your delight, the Frisco Syncopators did it!

12/9/2007 5:36:26 PM: yawn (by jazzer) Aside from the bell, and the tune selection, there's little comparison between this recording and anything the FH5 + 2 did. 2 cornets? It's cold, except for the drums and banjo.
