Johnny Dunn (February 19, 1897 – August 20, 1937) was an American jazz trumpeter and vaudeville performer, who was born in Memphis, Tennessee. He is probably best known for his work during the 1920s with musicians such as Perry Bradford or Noble Sissle. 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. Dunn died aged 40 in Paris <a href="https://www.last.fm/
