Bolden

Bolden tells the story of Charles "Buddy" Bolden, the forgotten hero who revolutionized jazz in New Orleans in the early 1900s. With little known about his life and no surviving recordings of his music, the film weaves together fragmented memories of his past against the backdrop of a turbulent city, where his genre-defining sound was born. Starring Gary Carr as Bolden, the film features original music by Wynton Marsalis and invites viewers to experience the passion, greed, and musical genius that fueled a cultural phenomenon.
