JIMMIE LUNCEFORD and the Jimmie Lunceford Band

 

In the 1920's a teacher named Jimmie Lunceford taught music at Manassas High School.  His high school band was so good that Lunceford quit his teaching job and took the band out on the road. The Jimmie Lunceford Band was one of the premiere touring big bands of the 1930's and 1940's, and enjoyed success with recordings, as well.
