	Jimmie Lunceford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		James Melvin "Jimmie" Lunceford (June 6, 1902–July 12, 1947) was an American jazz alto saxophonist and bandleader of the swing era.
		Lunceford's orchestra, with their tight musicianship and often outrageous humor in their music and lyrics made an ideal band for the club, and Lunceford's reputation began to steadily grow.
		Despite the band's comic veneer, Lunceford always maintained professionalism in the music befitting a former teacher; this professionalism paid off and during the apex of swing in the 1930s, the Orchestra was considered the equal of Duke Ellington's and Count Basie's.

	Big Band Music Biography - Jimmie Lunceford
		Jimmie Lunceford will long be remembered as the leader of a swinging big band that rivaled on record, and exceeded in person, the orchestras of Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and Count Basie.
		Lunceford himself wanted for nothing and was reputed to have a lavish lifestyle which was readily apparent to all of his sidemen.
		Nevertheless, Jimmie Lunceford was still a popular bandleader in 1947 when he suddenly collapsed and died while signing autographs after an engagement in Oregon.

	PBS - JAZZ A Film By Ken Burns: Selected Artist Biography - Jimmie Lunceford
		Jimmie Lunceford learned several instruments as a child in Denver, where he played alto saxophone in the band led by the violinist George Morrison.
		Unlike many big bands of the 1930s, Lunceford's group was noted less for its soloists than for its ensemble work, particularly its distinctive two-beat swing at medium tempo.
		The band drew its early style partly from Alphonso Trent and from the Casa Loma Orchestra, as is most apparent in the crude, insistent riff patterns in the "hot" recordings of 1934.

	BBC - Radio 3 Jazz Profiles - Jimmie Lunceford
		Lunceford's band was one of the finest orchestras of the swing era, its well-drilled sound and the precision of its section playing being unrivalled by any other group.
		Lunceford's disciplinarian style began when he was a schoolteacher in Memphis, and put together a band from among his students and his former classmates at Fisk University where he had studied music.
		Despite a high turnover of personnel, Lunceford kept a fine band together until his death, and his public were often unaware of the rapidly changing sidemen, as he insisted his soloists learned their solos from the band's discs, many of which were miniature masterpieces.

	Jimmie Lunceford dance orchestra at The Bungalow, Seaside Oregon
		For a decade-an-a-half, Jimmie Lunceford led one of the most dynamic and innovative dance orchestras of the country.
		Nationwide radio broadcasts from the Club resulted in nationwide hits and tours, and between 1934 and 1942, Jimmie Lunceford’s Harlem Express was regarded als the only danceband that could compete, both artistically and financially, with Ellington and Count Basie.
		That Saturday, the Jimmie Lunceford Orchestra was scheduled to play The Bungalow, an old wooden skating rink that served as a dancehall in the weekends.

	Jazzed in Cleveland - Part 51
		The high-flying Jimmie Lunceford Orchestra, a band that had started out professionally in Cleveland in 1929, was one of the most popular big bands in the country in the mid-1930s.
		Lunceford hired the young trombonist from Cleveland and suggested he listen to and watch the band before going on stage with it for the first time.
		Williams was playing most of the now-legendary charts of the Lunceford Orchestra he had heard when he was in high school in Cleveland, including the best arrangements, written in the mid-1930s by Sy Oliver, the Zanesville native who had left Lunceford in 1939 to join the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra.

	[No title]
		One of the most popular Harlem bandleaders in the 1930's, Jimmie Lunceford was born in Fulton, Mississippi and joined his first band at the age of sixteen.
		Advertised as "the perfect swing band," in large part due to the leader's discipline and showmanship, Lunceford's orchestra competed for public favor with the leading "big bands" of the era, including those of Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Benny Goodman.
		Lunceford replaced Cab Calloway as leader of the famed Cotton Club's house band in 1934.

		The first in Classics' "complete" Jimmie Lunceford series has two titles apiece from 1930 (when the band was based in Tennessee) and 1933 along with its first six sessions for Decca in 1934.
		Lunceford's band had an immediately recognizable sound by 1934 and, despite the presence of such top soloists as altoist Willie Smith, tenor-saxophonist Joe Thomas and high-note trumpeter Tommy Stevenson, it was its arranged ensembles (particularly those of Sy Oliver) that gave the orchestra its musical...

		The Jimmie Lunceford Orchestra was one of the most popular of the Swing Era big bands, yet they seem to be somewhat less remembered than the bands of Goodman, Basie, Ellington, Dorsey and Miller.
		Whatever - in the 1930s his outfit was both enormously popular with audiences and admired by musicians and critics.
		In 1939, Lunceford made the switch from Decca to Columbia, remaining ‘til 1940, from whence these recordings came.

		Lunceford’s ensemble was at its peak in the mid— to late—’30s before the great arranger Sy Oliver left to join the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra.
		But even though Oliver and a number of Lunceford’s principal soloists were gone, he had enough ammunition left to put on a good show, and the band was always well—rehearsed and extremely agile.
		In other words, the sound is less than admirable but it is Lunceford, and there are those who are willing to trade such shortcomings for another chance to hear again one of the Swing Era’s most widely acclaimed orchestras.

	Jimmie Lunceford & His Orchestra: 1934-1935
		His orchestra lacked any really classic soloists (altoist Willie Smith and trombonist Trummy Young came the closest) and a large portion of the band's repertoire either featured the dated vocals of Dan Grissom or were pleasant novelties.
		And yet, the well-rehearsed ensembles were very impressive, some of the arrangements (particularly those of Sy Oliver) were quite original and the use of glee-club vocalists and short concise solos were pleasing and often memorable.
		Plus Lunceford's was the first orchestra to feature high-note trumpeters (starting with Tommy Stevenson in 1934) and had a strong influe...

		The Jimmie Lunceford Orchestra has always been a bit difficult to evaluate.
		Contemporary observers rated Lunceford's big band at the top with Duke Ellington and Count Basie but, when judging the music solely on their records (and not taking into account their visual show, appearance and showmanship), Lunceford's ensemble has to be placed on the second tier.
