Just after the turn of the century, New Orleanians could often hear Bolden's powerful horn from the city's parks and through dance hall windows. Despite his lack of formal training, his unique style--both musical and personal--made him the first \"king\" of New Orleans jazz and the inspiration for such later jazz greats as King Oliver, Kid Ory, and Louis Armstrong. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor years the legend of Buddy Bolden was overshadowed by myths about his music, his reckless lifestyle, and his mental instability. \u003ci\u003eIn Search of Buddy Bolden\u003c\/i\u003e overlays the myths with the substance of reality. Interviews with those who knew Bolden and an extensive array of primary sources enliven and inform Donald M. Marquis's absorbing portrait of the brief but brilliant career of the first man of jazz. This paperback edition includes a new preface and appendix relating events and discoveries that have occurred since the book's original publication in 1978.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDonald M.
