    About this Artist

    Editorial Reviews

    This CD from the Austrian RST label (the first of two) has 16 selections from the early classic blues singer Edith Wilson, one of the best vocalists on record during the 1921-22 period. Her backup is by cornetist Johnny Dunn's Original Jazz Hounds and it is particularly interesting to hear such an early version of "He May Be Your Man (But He Comes to See Me Sometimes)." Also included are the first six selections led by Dunn who was considered to be one of the best cornetists in New York before the arrival of Louis Armstrong in 1924. Actually his first session ("Bugle Blues" and "Birmingham Blues") sounds as if the band were recorded in a wind tunnel, and Dunn is probably not present on the second. Overall the second CD is preferable to the first but the "complete" programming is quite definitive. Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
