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 left cor... View more info

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, probably in 1935 or 1936. Ella Fitzgerald, age 16, had joined 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 Duke El... View more info
