0011105992329. New condition. CD. Mono. If you have never heard the great Lunceford band of the mid- 30s this is an excellent starting point. These recordings give you an accurate reference for not only their serious high-quality musicianship but their showmanship and fun quotient all in one. While their swing is unflappable numbers like He Ain t Got Rhythm Stomp It Off Rhythm Is Our Business Runnin Wild and especially I m Nuts About Screwy Music set them apart from the pure listening and dance bands while setting a precedent for the jive music to follow. Lunceford is still far too underrated in the general scheme of things. This CD is a great portal to their music especially for young people. Recommended. ~ Michael G. Nastos Rovi
