Johnny Dunn (February 19, 1897 – August 20, 1937) was an American traditional jazz trumpeter and vaudeville performer, who was born in Memphis, Tennessee.[1] He is probably best known for his work during the 1920s with musicians such as Perry Bradford or Noble Sissle.[2] In 1928, Dunn recorded four tracks with Jelly Roll Morton, and two more with both James P. Johnson and Fats Waller. He never made any more recordings, and relocated permanently to Europe.[1]
Dunn died aged 40 in Paris, France in August 1937, but with his playing style out of fashion he was largely forgotten by that time.[1]
