JIMMIE LUNCEFORD. Photograph inscribed and signed: "To/Ed/Sincerely/Jimmy Lunceford/1-5-38". B/w, 8x10 overall, image 7¼x9 (one surface). Publicity photo captioned at lower margin. Jimmie Lunceford, who could play a number of instruments, found fame as a bandleader rather than a musician. His Jimmie Lunceford Orchestra, formed in 1928, gained fame for its arrangements (especially those by Sy Oliver) and for the use of glee-club vocalists. Hits recorded include "Rhythm is Our Business", "Swanee River", "My Blue Heaven", "Ain't She Sweet", "Uptown Blues" and "Lunceford Special". Lightly soiled, 2, 2½-inch vertical creases at foreground, left of writing. Overall, fine condition.
