Black History Month Sampler Part Four
Update: 2025-02-22
Description
We conclude our celebration of Black History Month this week with a look at the big band of Jimmie Lunceford. Jimmie Lunceford's band differed from other great bands of the time because it was better known for its ensemble than for its solo work. Additionally, he was known for using a two-beat rhythm, called the Lunceford two-beat, as opposed to the standard four-beat rhythm. We'll be playing many of the Lunceford band's many hits. I hope you enjoy this sampler of the many great African-American Bands from the swing era. Please visit this podcast at http://bigbandbashfm.blogspot.com
