From the back cover: George Williams, a onetime Lunceford arranger who has also written for Glenn Miller, Gene Krupa, Lionel Hampton, Ray Anthony and Harry James, knows better than most musicians that there is slight chance of accurately copying the old Lunceford band. Instead, he has tried to present this set of tunes, because they are so closely associated with Lunceford, as the Lunceford band might play them if it were still together today and still evolving.

"They are interpretations," Williams says, "rather than re-creations."
