“The Blues of Buddy Bolden” by Michael Ondaatje
“At the end of the XNUMXth century, the Storyville neighborhood of New Orleans had two thousand prostitutes, seventy professional players and thirty pianists. But there was only one man who could play the cornet like Charles 'Buddy' Bolden, the man who barbered by day and played jazz in crowded dive bars by night, with a passion that electrified his audience."
Taken from House of the book.
