Description: Of all the figures to be associated with the revival of early New Orleans jazz in the 1940s, Bunk Johnson (1889-1949) was the most influential and the most controversial. A survivor of the pioneering days of jazz, and hailed in his last years as a grand old man, Bunk became the symbol of a primitive and simple style of music, with which his own strongly held views were at odds. Jazz critics and enthusiasts divided into those who hailed him as a sage, and those who dismissed him entirely. Christopher Hillman has sifted through the known facts about Bunk's life, and a mass of documentary evidence, to produce this new account of Johnson's career. The story which emerges , about the music and about Bunk's own complicated personality, is a fascinating examination of one of the legends of jazz history.
