Album Review: For Jimmies Buffs 1934-1945 by Jimmie Lunceford and His Orchestra Jazz fans, buckle up—this one’s a gem. Released in 1979 by MCA Records in France, For Jimmies Buffs 1934-1945 is a retrospective dive into the golden era of swing, showcasing the tight arrangements and infectious energy that made Jimmie Lunceford and His Orchestra household names back in the day. The album stitches together tracks from the late '30s and early '40s, giving modern ears a chance to experience why this band was so beloved. Let’s talk highlights. First up, “Rhythm Is Our Business - Take 1.” It’s hard not to get hooked on this track—it’s got that effortless swagger only Lunceford’s crew could pull off. The horns punch through with precision, while the rhythm section keeps things grooving like nobody’s business. You can almost picture the dance floors of the '40s filling up as this tune played. There’s something about the way the band locks into the groove that feels timeless. It’s not just music; it’s an invitation to move. Then there’s “I’m Walking Through Heaven With You - 2nd Version.” This one sticks with you because of its emotional weight. The arrangement feels richer compared to the first version (also included on the album), with lush harmonies and a slower tempo that lets the melody breathe. It’s the kind of song that sneaks up on you, leaving you humming it hours later. If you’re looking for a moment of quiet reflection amidst the big-band fireworks, this is it. The rest of the album doesn’t disappoint either. Tracks like “Buzz, Buzz, Buzz” bring the fun, while “Mood Indigo - Take 1” shows off the band’s ability to tackle Duke Ellington’s classics with their own flair. Even lesser-known cuts like “Chillun Get Up” have charm, blending playful lyrics with irresistible rhythms. What makes this compilation special isn’t just the music—it’s the way it captures a specific vibe. Listening to these recordings feels like stepping into a time machine, but without all the nostalgia clichés. Sure, some tracks show their age with crackles and pops, but honestly? That just adds character. It’s like hearing history breathe. In the end, For Jimmies Buffs 1934-1945 reminds us why Jimmie Lunceford mattered—and still does. His orchestra didn’t just play jazz; they owned it, turning every note into a celebration. And here’s the kicker: even though this album came out in 1979, it proves that great music doesn’t need a timestamp. Whether you’re a die-hard jazz buff or just someone who loves a good beat, this record deserves a spot in your collection.
