CD Reviews

Vintage Bunk - Bunk Johnson 1942/1945

Ronald A. Jacob | Shalimar, Florida | 06/24/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"What this record lacks in technical quality it really makes up in the quality of the jazz. This is traditional New Orleans Jazz, not Dixieland, by some of the few musicians that actually lived and played during the heyday of N. O. Jazz.Bunk is a controversial figure both personnally and musically, with some describing his jazz as too primative, but I believe that is what makes it great. The band backing up Bunk on many of the tracks is the George Lewis Band and they do a fine job. Bunk's driving trumpet and George's lyrical clarinet are the perfect compliment for each other.If you want a technically slick, musically smooth CD this isn't for you. However if you want to hear real N. O. Jazz, most likely played the way it really was, then this is for you."
