Bunk Johnson's Band - Lowdown Blues Yes Yes In Your Eyes

Review by Jane LeBreton

Bunk Johnson's Band has released a new album titled "Lowdown Blues Yes Yes In Your Eyes" that is sure to please fans of traditional jazz and blues. The album features Johnson on trumpet, along with a talented group of musicians who provide solid backing on piano, drums, and bass.

The album kicks off with the title track, a rollicking blues number that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Johnson's trumpet playing is on point, and he is clearly enjoying himself as he leads the band through a series of upbeat tunes.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Basin Street Blues," a classic tune that has been covered by countless jazz musicians over the years. Johnson's version is particularly soulful, with the band providing a rich, full-bodied sound that perfectly complements his trumpet playing.

Another highlight of the album is "St. James Infirmary Blues," a haunting tune that showcases Johnson's ability to convey emotion through his playing. The band provides a sparse, moody backdrop that allows Johnson's trumpet to shine.

Summary by Jane LeBreton

"Lowdown Blues Yes Yes In Your Eyes" is a strong album that will appeal to fans of traditional jazz and blues. Johnson's trumpet playing is top-notch, and the rest of the band provides solid support throughout. Highly recommended.
