Jimmie Lunceford's Jubilee- Quests: Maxine Sullivan, Eddy South Trio, Jerry Lester, Golden Gate Quartet And Art Tatum

Released by the Joyce label in 1978, this compilation focuses on capturing the essence of the Jimmie Lunceford era by gathering rare archival recordings and radio performances. The album functions as a time capsule, preserving the high-energy big band swing that defined the late 1930s and early 1940s while highlighting the specific collaborative spirit of the Jubilee transcription broadcasts.

The album reflects the curatorial efforts of independent jazz labels during the late 1970s, which aimed to reissue neglected broadcast material for a new generation of enthusiasts. By featuring diverse talents such as Maxine Sullivan and Art Tatum alongside Lunceford's ensemble, the design and selection process prioritized the breadth of talent found in the African American music scene of the mid-century, rather than focusing solely on the bandleader himself.
