(Goff, 1960s) A remarkable one-of-a-kind book of song chords for a list of jazz standards from the collection of Imagineer Harper Goff. The book was given to Goff by well-known jazz musician and bandleader Red Nichols, who signed the cover "To Harper: ... I enjoyed our gig!" Nichols also noted some song lyrics in pencil on the back of the last page. Aside from Imagineering, Goff is known for his love of jazz and skilled work on the banjo. Goff is one of the founding members of the Firehouse Five Plus Two, the Dixieland band founded at Walt Disney Studios by staff members who discovered a common interest in music. The band appeared in multiple Disney productions in the 1950s, earning them recognition both with and apart from the Disney brand. Measuring 9.25" x 5.75", the songbook is in good condition with expected wear from age and use, discoloration on a few pages, and some edge wear. Disneyland. Artist Harper Goff’s fingerprints are all over pop culture’s history. Goff first met Walt Disney in London when the two collectors tried to buy the same train set. The Disney Legend would go on to design the Nautilus, create concepts for Main Street, U.S.A., and even play banjo in the popular Firehouse Five Plus Two, a band consisting of Goff and his fellow Disney artists. Goff’s talents were appreciated throughout Hollywood, as he worked for many different studios over the years. We are proud to have some of his wonderful designs up for auction.
