Big Band Serenade proudly presents 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. His band differed from many of the other big bands of the 1930s and 1940s in that Lunceford's group was noted less for its soloists than for its ensemble work. Selection today are Coquette, Annie Laurie, Margie, The Lonesome Road, Tain't What You Do, Le Jazz Hot, and The Honeydripper.
