The band became much better when Bunk was replaced by Kid Howard.<br></div><div>Bunk was a much better schooled musician than Robinson and Lewis, and his work with other musicians was much better than those widely acclaimed American Music recordings (according to Barry Martyn of GHB, the original American Music Bunk Johnson records were pressed at a slightly wrong speed, preserved in all reissues prior to the renincarnated American Musi CDs, which might partly, or even wholly, account for the inferior sound of the band). To me, the best Bunk is the "Spicy Advice" session, but he made wonderful recordings on the West Coast, both with such black musicians as Kid Ory and Wade Whaley.<br></div><div>Cheers<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><br><div style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:verdana,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><div dir="ltr" id="m_-243982649121437672yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1492387571301_10850"><br></div><span class="HOEnZb"></span></div></div><br>______________________________<wbr>_________________<br>
