Jimmie Lunceford - Swanee River

Happy birthday to Jimmie Lunceford, born on this date in 1902. He's probably best known now only to serious jazz-ists and musical historians, but in his heyday his work as a bandleader was, according to Wikipedia, "considered the equal of Duke Ellington's, Earl Hines' or Count Basie's." Here he gets Stephen Foster to swing.
