Edith Wilson Johnny Dunn Jazz HoundsEdith Wilson and trumpet player Johnny Dunn first worked together in the musical revue “Put And Take” in 1921 and then went on to perform in Lew Lesile’s Plantation Revue in 1922. The group toured the TOBA vaudville circuit in 1921.

Perry Bradford set up the recording sessions at Columbia for Wilson to compete with the Okeh’s Mamie Smith’s Jazz Hounds records. Instrumental records were also released without Wilson under the name of Johnny Dunn and his Original Jazz Hounds. Dunn had also been a member of Mamie Smith’s Jazz Hounds.
