Album Description

2007 four CD box set from Proper. The Jimmie Lunceford band was one of the outstanding black big bands of the '30s and '40s. The relative lack of latter-day attention might be attributable to Lunceford's tragically early death in 1947 at the age of 45. But this alone cannot be the cause of Lunceford's apparent dismissal from the collective memory of the Jazz world. In this respect the Lunceford band might have been a victim of its versatility, the band functioned as a show band, a dance band and a Jazz band, serving a musical menu of novelty tunes, sentimental ballads, music for dancing and spectacular "Flag wavers". Proper.

Album Details

Along with the Bands of Fletcher Henderson, Duke Ellington and Count Basie, the Jimmie Lunceford Band was One of the Outstanding Black Big Bands of the 1930s and 1940s. All Achieved Enormous Popularity and a Measure of Commercial Success During Those Years. Yet While Today the Fletcher Henderson Band is Primarily Remembered for Its Significant Breakthrough as a Purveyor of Extraordinary And, for their Day, Advanced Performances of Arranged Big Band Music and for the Boost Henderson's Arrangement Gave to Benny Goodman's Career, Ellington and Basie Are Revered as Major Figures of Jazz, Few Fans Today Remember Much About Jimmie Lunceford, Play his Music Or Collect his Records. This Relative Lack of Latter-day Attention Might Be Attributable to Lunceford's Tragically Early Death in 1947 at the Age of 45.

Customer Reviews:

Strictly Jive by Chick Webb.......2007-03-08

This is very good "big band" music, but not
as "hot jazz" as I expected.

Star studded cast.......2005-09-10

Chick Webb, drummer and band leader, is the headline persona of this compilation. Lots of tunes, a number of them standards, and some more original. Sometimes emphasizing the drumming and sometimes not. Therefore 3 stars.

Co-musicians of Mr. Webb are Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Jordan. Chick Webb is to me known as the now forgotten competitor of Gene Krupa. For the afiniciados, Webb is the slightly better of the two. I would have liked more Webb and less of standards.

Though, it is still a good record with some really delightful singing and occassionally an extra drum roll.

Just like a night at the Savoy.......2001-04-07

Ella Fitzgerald is a featured performer on this collection and she doesn't appear until cut number 4 (Sing Me A Swing Song). The first three songs are instrumental and really set the tone for what I imagine would be similar to an actual set list from a night's performance at the Savoy. Eventually Ella's reputation would overshadow Chick Webb and his orchestra. This makes the search for a recording of both good sound quality and an excellent representation of Chick Webb and his band while they were the headliners, difficult. There are many Ella Fitzgerald recordings so, if you want an album that defines Chick Webb and his band at their best - this is it!
