Charles Joseph "Buddy" Bolden (September 6, 1877 – November 4, 1931) was an African-American cornetist and is regarded by contemporaries as a key figure in the development of a New Orleans style of rag-time music, which later came to be known as jazz. He left no known surviving recordings, but he was known for his very loud sound and constant improvisation. His trombonist Willy Cornish asserted that Bolden's band had made at least one phonograph cylinder in the late 1890s. <a href="https://www.l
