Description
In the early part of the 20th Century, Bunk Johnson was one of the pioneer New Orleans jazz trumpeters but did not record during that era.
The 43 recordings on these two CDs are representative of Bunk Johnson's playing during the time after his rediscovery.
They give us a tantalising glimpse of what he may have sounded like in his prime.
George Lewis, Clancy Hayes, Sidney Bechet and Turk Murphy are among the band members.
Over 2 hours 15 minutes playing time.
Compiled and comprehensively annotated, including full discography by George Hulme.
