Sheik;

I checked Lord's discography for a match on Bunk Johnson and "Under the
Bamboo Tree". There were none although there were 27 recordings of "Under
the Bamboo Tree". Of those, a couple of sessions contained one or two of the
other tunes mentioned in your email.

Hi All. Heard a tape, source etc. unknown, that sounded like Bunk Johnson
on trumpet, with "Under the bamboo tree", "Down home rag", "Do what Ory
say", "Maryland my Maryland", perhaps "1919 March". Aside from the fact
that "Under the BT" sounded like a nice tune that might end up in my
forthcoming "20s-30s Fake Book", this collection was expertly played and
really exciting. I'd like to get it on a CD. I don't know whether it was a
compilation from multiple sources or was a single album--it sounded like
the latter.

The Worlds Records database didn't show any CDs with "Under the bamboo
tree".

Can anyone help?

Thanks.
