This is the story of Buddy Bolden, inventor of jazz, who was celebrated as king in New Orleans at the beginning of the 20th century. It tells of his life, his career, and of the effect he had on the music of our time. From eyewitness accounts, published information, and early photographs, The Loudest Trumpet describes how he played the cornet and how his band introduced a new syncopated sound to popular music. It also explains how he influenced the music of his contemporaries in the city and how his raggy, blues-based New Orleans style developed into the music of the Jazz Erathe twenties.

iUniverse, shame on you!,
By R. E. Buehler (St. John's, Newfoundland Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Loudest Trumpet: Buddy Bolden and the Early History of Jazz (Paperback)
Daniel Hardie's "The Loudest Trumpet" is a valuable and informative book extremely poorly produced. There is no evidence of its having been proof read, the dearth of commas throughout the text makes it difficult to read, the photographs and musical examples are poorly printed.That Mr. Hardie's excellent work should be so poorly presented is shameful. He has been ill served by his publisher.
