  • It was not recorded by Bill Russell, though he was present.

  • I have not been there. So I have to take my information wherever I find them. Tom Bethell says in his book "George Lewis A Jazzman From New Orleans" that the records were made by Dave Stuart, Gene Williams and "Bill Russell". I just can't make shure that this is right !

  • In 1971 when I was 16 years old, and when most of my contemporaries were (and probably still are) listening to the likes of Led Zeppelin and Eric Clapton, my life was turned around by hearing this first recording session by Bunk. The power of this music to move me remains undiminished.

  • 2.17 seconds in is one of my 5 favorite MOMENTS in the entire history of music, I LOVE BUNK i cannot be anything but emotional about it, I could write 10.000 words (and probably have lol) on how great it is, or i can listen to it again and be proud that I live in the same planet Bunk lived in!!! BUNK LIVES 4EVER!!!

  • great toe tapping music...i love it.

  • @klikonojazz hahaha "i have not been there"

  • Willy Bunk Johnson is a jazz legend!

  • El tema propiamente dicho empieza en el min 1:00 . Autor del tema : WILLIAM TYERS . LOUIS ARMSTRONG recordaba en su libro MY LIFE EN NEW ORLEANS que de niño le gustaba seguir a la orquesta del cubano MANUEL PEREZ cuando volvía de los entierros tocando el PANAMÁ . También contaba que el lider de la 1ª orquesta de jazz el trompetista BUDDY BOLDEN ( en dicha orquesta estaba ya en 1895 el jovencito BUNK JOHNSON ) tocaba muy fuerte y sin sensibilidad, a diferencia de BUNK JOHNSON y KING OLIVER

  • This what I call real music,it'll never die..brilliant

  • @yvesfrancois

    Great words. There's many of us Out There who think like you....we are lucky to appreciate this golden music.

    If you like this you'll love 'Mahogany Hall Stomp' by George Lewis and his New Orleans Jazz Band on You Tube.......played as only black Americans can play......fantastic!

  • pure bliss

  • One of the best pieces of music recorded

  • @RobeGre I still do. I found this pokin' around in the dusky dusty archives and said: "WHOA!"! Who is THIS dude!! I loved it instantly. Talent is like gold. It's wherever you find it and Bunk is pure gold. !;-)

  • Suena como muy rockanroll no???
