Bunk Johnson - Plays Popular Songs
Review by Nancy Jones
Plays Popular Songs by Bunk Johnson is a remarkable album that showcases the talent and skill of the legendary jazz musician. The album features Johnson's unique interpretations of popular songs from the early 20th century, including "Careless Love," "St. Louis Blues," and "Tiger Rag."
The album is a masterclass in traditional New Orleans jazz, with Johnson's trumpet playing leading the way. His sound is raw and soulful, with a sense of improvisation that makes each track feel fresh and exciting. The backing band, which includes clarinet, trombone, and piano, provides a solid foundation for Johnson's virtuosic playing.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "When the Saints Go Marching In," which features Johnson's powerful trumpet playing and a lively rhythm section. The song is a perfect example of the joy and energy that New Orleans jazz can bring.
