Prominent early New Orleans jazz trumpet player in the early years of the 20th century who enjoyed a revived career in the 1940s. Jazz fans and historians still debate Bunk’s legacy, and the extent to which his colorful reminiscences of his early career were accurate, misremembered, exaggerations, or lies. Vintage pencil signature, “Bunk Johnson,” on the reverse of an off-white 3 x 2.5 New York Jazz Club 1947 membership card. Accompanied by a July 1943 broadside promoting a Sunday Afternoon Jazz Session featuring Johnson (pictured with Louis Armstrong in the upper left corner) given by the Hot Jazz Society of San Francisco. In fine condition, with some mild toning. Oversized. RRAuction COA.
