Johnny Dunn was the first great jazz star in the African American community in New York and was the primary cornet influence on the music before Louis Armstrong appeared in the fall of 1924. These records were made in 1921, 22, and 23 with a cast of early jazz players including Herschel Brassfield, Ernest Elliott, Herb Flemming, Earl Granstaff, John Mitchell, Sam Speed, Harry Hull and Jesse Baltimore who were all part of Johnny Dunn's Original Jazz Hounds.
