		The first of the New Orleans cornet "kings," Buddy Bolden was highly regarded by contemporary fl musicians in the city, who in their reminiscences embroidered his life with a great many legends and spurious anecdotes.
		Bolden's rise to fame coincided with the emergence of a fl pleasure district — Storyville — at South Rampart and Perdido streets, where he soon became a local celebrity playing in the dives and tonks (but not the brothels).
		Bolden apparently did not improvise melodies freely in the manner of later jazz musicians, but found ingenious ways of ornamenting existing melodies, often incorporating a distinctive lick which functioned as a signature.

		Buddy was able to scoop the field with the stories brought in by his friend, a "spider," also employed by the New Orleans police.

		Bolden now has a street named after him in New Orleans, and new evidence suggests that there may have once been a cylinder of Bolden playing his music, but it was accidentally destroyed.

		Jones’ presence is perhaps the closest equivalent to a narrative presence operating outside the action in the screenplay; however, the repeated intrusion of his persona, a grounding technique common to documentary–based narrative, does not have the same rupturing effect as does the authorial “I” of the novel.
		An examination of the transitions from the Actor to Bolden reveals what is essentially an antiphonal technique: Bolden almost always returns the lead offered by the Actor, and other characters who respond to Bolden offer a redundancy in their replies to his verbal triggers.

		Buddy Bolden (cornet) - A Negro who is often accredited as "the inventor" of a basic form of jazz, and the catalyst for others to follow.
		But Bolden could, and did, play a few polite society dances, and Robichaux (his band was known as a "sweet" band) by then had Williams and McNeil playing hot enough cornets to move an Uptown crowd.
		The word is that dancers abandoned the smoother Robichaux band to hear Buddy Bolden produce a new, more raggedy, more exciting sound that stirred their dancing fancy.

		I wanted listeners to imagine Bolden’s music through the words of those who had actually heard or known him and to play recordings of the trumpeters most likely representative of his rough, unschooled but inspiring sound.

		Bolden was a New Orleans trumpeter and bandleader active in the 1890s and first decade of the 1900s who some contemporary and later musicians credit as having started jazz.
		Bolden became a figure of legend, with 4th hand stories about him being passed around, and his name has been used for fictional characters (most notably in writer Michael Ondaatje's well written but historically inaccurate novel "Coming Through Slaughter").
		Unlike his fictional counterpart, the real Bolden wasn't a barber and never heard the music he was helping form called "jazz" during his active life, but he did play an original loud and driving style of cornet that made New Orleans take notice, until he was hauled away to an insane asylum in 1907.

		Buddie Petit never made recordings, but his reputation is well documented in accounts left by early Crescent City jazzmen.
		The lineage of New Orleans trumpet kings began with Buddy Bolden, the first hot trumpeter to reach ‘pop star’ status, and earn the title, “King." Traditional legend has it that Bolden’s horn could be heard a mile or more away from the open-air dance hall at Lincoln Park where he played with his band.
		No recordings of Bolden have ever surfaced, but those who heard him play paint a picture of Buddy Bolden as an outstanding musician, equally capable of playing waltzes and schottisches for polite society dances and driving audiences into a frenzy with his rough blues at the Funky Butt Dance Hall.

		The sounds and spirit of the Big Easy come alive in Buddy Bolden of New Orleans, a poetic biography in sixteen cantos of one of the most influential--and least known--musicians in the history of jazz, written by trumpeter and former jazz club owner Ray Bisso.
		Cornetist Buddy Bolden (1877–1931) found his first horn in a New Orleans gutter--bent, broken, but reparable--and elevated that erstwhile marching band horn into the primary voice of the world's newest musical style--and America's first indigenous art form.
		In fact, Bolden's sound was in such demand that he frequently overbooked himself, scheduling each night half a dozen gigs or more, some of which he actually showed up for.

		Two of the issues, which made him so controversial, were his claims, firstly, that he was born in 1879, and secondly, that he played second cornet in Buddy Bolden’s legendary jazz band during the last few years of the 19th century and in the early years of the 20th century.
		Buddy’s father, Westmore Bolden, was the son of Gustave Bolden and Frances Smith.
		On the strength of a rather peculiar statement on Gustave Bolden’s death certificate issued in the name of “Augustus Bolen” on 4th August 1866 that the deceased was “a native of the United State of Louisiana,” Don Marquis incorrectly assumed that Gustave Bolden was born in Louisiana.
