About "The Lunceford Way"
"The
Lunceford Way" by r2c2h2 (6/1/2011, 30" x40") ink pen and whiteout.
This is my tribute to Jazz Legend Jimmie Lunceford who was the first
high school band director and started music education in The Memphis
City Schools back in the 1920s. He was not even hired to be a music
instructor but yet believed in the power of music to change lives and
wanted to share his passions with young people...He took his band,
composed of his best high school students and buddies from Fisk
University, left Memphis and became the house band at the famous Cotton
Club...His orchestra was also the number one attraction at the legendary
Apollo Theatre for a decade and was known as the Harlem Express, the
number one band of choice for African Americans IN THE NATION DURING THE
1930S AND THE 1940S...He Was Known As The King Of The Battle Of The
Bands Because His Orchestra Would Constantly Beat Those Lead By Count
Basie, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller in popularity
contests and cut throat competition...
