Hi! You're looking at a outstanding condition book which is RARE and OUT OF PRINT and a definitive biography of legendary Big Band leader JIMMIE LUNCEFORD written by EDDY DETERMEYER--the book is an unstated FIRST EDITION and FIRST PRINTING and a HARDCOVER with the ORIGINAL DUSTJACKET and is NOT a remainder copy and NOT price-clipped, with the original $29.95 price in the upper corner of the front inner flap. This book is in outstanding condition and is a former library copy with typical markings and a mylar plastic sleeve, which is attached to the boards; the book itself has a small crease on the upper corner of p. 67 and just very light evidence of gentle browsing but NO other significant flaws, and the dustjacket has just slight shelfwear and no other significant imperfections! The book is titled Rhythm is Our Business: Jimmie Lunceford and the Harlem Express and it was written by EDDY DETERMEYER; it was published by The University of Michigan Press in 2006 and is a 1st EDITION and 1st PRINTING with a publication line reading 4 3 2 1. This is the first detailed study of one of the swing era's most important bands and the first biography of its leader, Jimmie Lunceford. This is a most welcome and significant contribution to the literature of jazz, to our understanding of a vital period in jazz history, and to the music of an outstanding and unique ensemble that was emblematic of the swing era. So take it Trummy, take it Trummy, Trummy Young! A fantastic find, and a beautiful
