The Jimmie Lunceford entry in Time-Life Music's Big Bands series goes a long way toward filling the gap in the availability of the Lunceford band's best and most popular recordings of the 1930s and 1940s. Leading off with the group's biggest hit, "Rhythm Is Our Business," it also includes the band's other best-known recordings ("Organ Grinder's Swing" and "Blues in the Night") as well as lesser hits ("For Dancers Only" and "T'Ain't What You Do"). Good choices are made among the tracks Lunceford recorded for Decca and Columbia, including 16 Sy Oliver arrangements out of the 21 performances, among them such characteristic efforts as "Stomp It Off" and "Well All Right Then." For a band of its stature, the Lunceford outfit remains underrated, and the relatively small body of its work in print domestically has contributed to that injustice. This well-conceived best-of serves as a corrective. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi
