Recounts the life of early New Orleans jazz cornetist Charles "Buddy" Bolden, through interviews of his relatives and contemporaries
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
"The first thorough attempt to untangle the Bolden legend and to document what can still be learned about the powerful cornet player who quit playing about 1906, and then languished for 24 years in an insane asylum, ignored and uncaring, while the music he shaped spread around the world....A valuable piece of work."
Donald M. Marquis, jazz curator emeritus of the Louisiana State Museum, lives in New Orleans. He is also the author of Finding Buddy Bolden and A Nifty Place to Grow Up.
