5 out of 5 stars About as good as it gets.......2004-03-26

If you are a fan of New Orleans/Dixieland jazz, I can almost gaurantee that you will love this CD. While it is not a polished and edited work, the sound is nevertheless of reasonably good quality. There is a good mix of styles here as well: there are fast-paced, rip-roaring songs such as 'Margie', 'Over in Gloryland', 'Bogalusa Strut' and 'Weary Blues', and there are slower pieces (where Woody Allen is the most prominent), such as 'The Old Rugged Cross', 'What a Friend We Have In Jesus' and 'Burgundy Street Blues'.

I must admit I was hooked on this CD from the first moment I listened to it. It is not easy to find good, modern recordings of New Orleans/Dixieland style jazz, and I suppose this CD is not easy to find either. But if you have a chance, I strongly urge you to pick it up.

For those of you who are fans of Woody Allen's clarinet playing, this will be a real treat. His playing is particularly lively on this CD (particularly on Margie and Weary Blues), more so than on the Wild Man Blues soundtrack. On the other hand, if you're an Eddy Davis fan, he is mostly in the background. This is my one complaint about the album; there are only two or three songs where you can actually hear Eddy's banjo, and he only has two solos on the entire album (Red Light Blues & Weary Blues). That said, this is still an excellent CD and you won't be disappointed by it.

If you enjoy some unrehearsed New Orleans style music,get this one.Woody Allen plays clarinet with this band & does a commendable job. Some very good dixieland style music.A relatively obscure CD made over 40 years ago.

5 out of 5 stars THE BUNK PROJECT -A MASTERPIECE.......2001-09-17

This is my personal favorite compact disc! The Bunk Project is a masterpiece! Woody Allen is the best clarinetist alive!
