Condition: Very Good
This is a flyer or handbill or small window poster for a performance by Jimmie Lunceford at the Alhambra Theatre in Campbellsville, Kentucky. I date the poster to around 1935. The tile of the show was "Blues in the Night," and this flyer advertises a Special Showing for Colored People Only, beginning at 10:00 PM, after the regular show. With Lunceford and his band were Will Osborne and his Band, Priscilla Lane and Richard Whorf. Jimmie Lunceford led a major big band in the 1930's that has been compared to Duke Ellington's band. This is a nice bit of jazz and Kentucky ephemera. The top ... View more info

Image is approximately 8X10 in an 11X17 frame. Photo, autograph and frame are all in beautiful condition. See photograph. Carter appears relatively young in the photo and I would guess it is from 1940 to the early 1950's. Carter began playing in the swing style of the 1920's eventually moving to a bop style and playing for a time with Miles Davis. Carter was one of the stand out alto sax players of the 20th century.

An original jumbo Globe Posters window card printed in the summer of 1955 for a blockbuster 12-act R&B concert tour overloaded with talent.

And that wasn't hype: the dozen acts on this poster combined for a staggering SEVENTY-THREE Top 10 R&B hits in their careers. Top Ten!

This is a handbill or flyer for Chick Webb's N. B. C. Orchestra featuring Ella Fitzgerald in a performance at the Alcazar Ballroom in San Francisco, probaly in 1935 or 1936. Ella Fitzgerald, age 16, had joine Webb's band in 1935, and Webb died in 1939. Some say that Webb actually adopted Fitzgerald, but this idea seems to be unfounded. At any rate, Webb realized the genius of Fitzgerald and featured her as a singer. Webb himself suffered from a congenital spine disease but still became an important jazz drummer and assembled an orchestra that frequently "cut" bands of Count Basie and ... View more info

This color, 8X10, publicity photograph has only light wear in the bottom margin. Near fine. Dee Mullins was an unusual country singer in Nashville in the 1960's and 70's. Despite a good voice and good songs, he never had a great deal of success. Born Dwight Mullinaux in Gafford, Texas on April 7, 1937, (d. 1991) country singer Dee Mullins must have raised a few eyebrows among the Old Boys Club in the Country Music establishment when he hooked up with Shelby Singleton's Nashville-based SSS International Records (later re-named Plantation when it became a Sun subsidiary) in the late 1960s and be...
