Notes
He’d been a fixture in New Orleans since 1910, but Bunk Johnson didn’t make his own records ’til the ’40s. Here’s the famous trumpeter in ’45 with a big brass band and also a sextet, havin’ a ball with Runnin’ Wild; Didn’t He Ramble; the Sheik of Araby; 827 Blues; When the Saints Go Marching In; Margie, and more!
