Biography

American jazz alto saxophonist, flutist, bandleader & arranger (June 6, 1902, Fulton, Mississippi - July 12, 1947, Seaside, Oregon). Lunceford's band differed from other great bands of the time as it was better known for its ensemble than its solo work. Comedy and vaudeville played a big part in Lunceford's presentation through clever arrangements by trumpeter [a=Sy Oliver] and bizarre lyrics (often sung by him or the [a=Lunceford Trio], [a=The Lunceford Quartet], or the [a=Lunceford Glee Club]).
