Jimmie Lunceford Signed Window Card....

Description

Jimmie Lunceford Signed Window Card. Lunceford will be forever remembered as having one of the most swinging and showiest bands in history. He started his band in Memphis, Tennessee in 1927, but he did not achieve true fame until the mid-1930's. Lunceford's band worked as the house group at New York's famed Cotton Club in the 1930's, and became the envy of every band that came to New York. Next to Chick Webb and his band, Lunceford was one of the hardest swinging ensembles in history. Many of the greatest musicians of the day treasured their time playing for Jimmie Lunceford. This beautifully designed card is signed by Lunceford on his image, and the pinholes at each corner would easily mat or frame out. A rare autograph!
