November 4, 1931. Regarded by contemporaries as a key figure
in the development of the New Orleans style of rag-time music
which evolved into jazz, cornetist Charles Joseph "Buddy"
Bolden's sound was never recorded but his horn was said to
have been heard across the Mississippi River clear from
Algiers. Known for erratic behavior and as a heavy
drinker, he was committed to Jackson State Asylum in 1907
after an altercation with his mother-in-law in their
home. He passed away on November 4, 1931.
