Step back in time with Bunk Johnson's "Down by the Riverside," a vibrant collection of classic jazz, ragtime, and swing tunes released on March 11, 2024, by Finrow Records. This album is a testament to Johnson's mastery of early 20th-century music, featuring tracks recorded between 1942 and 1944 that showcase his distinctive trumpet playing and warm, gravelly vocals.
