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.
From the soulful "Weary Blues" to the lively "Ballin' the Jack," each track offers a glimpse into the rich musical landscape of the era. The "Bolden Medley" pays homage to Buddy Bolden, a pioneering figure in jazz, while "Sweet Georgia Brown" and "Panama" are energetic numbers that will have you tapping your feet. The album also includes lesser-known gems like "Sister Kate" and "Moose March," adding depth and variety to the listening experience.
With a runtime of just under 40 minutes, "Down by the Riverside" is a concise yet captivating journey through the sounds of a bygone era. Whether you're a longtime fan of Bunk Johnson or new to his music, this album is a delightful exploration of the timeless appeal of jazz and ragtime.
