Biography of Baddy Bolden

The expansion of his glory coincided with the emergence of a black quarter of pleasures- Storiville- on South Rampart and Perdido streets, where Bolden soon becomes a local celebrity, playing in eatery and zucchini but not in brothels. In, when his name first appears in city directors in the category of professional musicians, his group stabilized its composition in the format of sextet with Cornet, Clarnet, Ventil-Trombon, guitar, smuggle and drums.

He laid the foundations of the structure and practice of hot jazz ensembles, which became traditional for the new Orleans. Basically, these were amateur musicians who did not know a notate letter the exception was U. Kornish, an educated musician who taught other members of the orchestra, including Bolden. They tried to tighten various pieces of melodies, in-way of marches, ragtims, waltzes, ossukors, pole, state-owneds and spiritual standards into the newly created slow blues melodies with a dance rhythm.

The originally built for the Liberty Street gilders in the residential quarter, Tin Type Hall was rented as a public club with a certain gatekeeper, provided that he will hire the Buddy Bolden Band for work. It is possible that this anonymous gatekeeper can rightfully be considered the first jazz promoter. During these years, a newcomer of a scandalous chronicle called The Cricket was published in New Orleans.

According to rumors, her publisher was Baddy Bolden. In the cricket, information was published about some famous inhabitants of Storyville, noticed in immorality and corruption. And supposedly in response to these revealing publications, some ill -wishers desperately scolded Bolden's music, finding it too loud and sebaceous. But it is more likely that such a rejection was due to the fact that copper and other wind instruments widely used by Bolden in the previous time used only occasionally, mainly in the game of marching bands.

Bolden's voluminous game in a bright style, which was subsequently imitated by masters as King Oliver King Oliver and Luis Armstrong Armstrong, was extremely daring and could well cause rejection of the stiff adherents of salon music. Nevertheless, Bolden was considered quite fairly one of the strongest cornthists of the new Orleans. The whole city was supposed to know that Baddy Bolden in the park, which was located in miles from the city center.

He was the most jazz of all people, ”Jelly summed up. Lovers of music, regardless of racial belonging to crowds, flocked into clubs called The Big Easy or The Funky Butt. Later he became known as The“ Funky Butt, ”because of the associations with the Bolden orchestra and one of his most cunning motives“ Funky Butt. None of these events of urban life could begin, until Buddy appeared with his guys at the place of its holding.

In the evenings, he played at some ball, masquerade or carnival, or in the Storyville light red salons to the afternoon. Then, late at night he could appear somewhere else, completing his hourly working day at the black dance evening in Persevrance Hall, Jackson Hall, The Odd Fellows Hall or the Union Sons Hall on Presidio Street. But not because of such texts, Baddy Bolden's music gained wide popularity.

Some phrases played by him were much more important, very convexly emphasized the deliberate rudeness of these texts. As for the song "Funky Butt", she finally deserved such an unflattering reputation that even to whistle her melody in public places or on the street was considered offensive. Nevertheless, in a changed form, this melody entered the early edition of the Raghadim "ST.

Louis Tickle". The melodies, performed by the Bolden orchestra, were very popular and preceded, possibly, future pop hits. Another melody, Get Outta Here, has always been performed in the Funky Butt Hall exactly in the morning as the final of the performance. And there, somewhere behind the scenes of the scene in the Funky Butt, a little boy was a nightly listening to the silver magic of notes Baddy.

No one then paid any attention to him. That was the young Louis Armstrong. Young Louis Armstrong Young Louis Armstrong a little about music and style, many musicians of the early jazz considered Bolden and participants of his orchestra as creators, from whom music, known as “jazz”, although this term was not yet in the general use in the musical environment, even after the end of Bolden's performances.

Ted Gioia motivates its conclusions by the merit of Bolden in the creation of the improvisational version of Ragtaym, which combines it with the blues of t. They say that the Boldena orchestra was the first to use copper instruments for the performance of blues. He also borrowed ideas from the state of state, which he listened to the local African American Baptist of the Church. Instead of simulating the performance of other cornthists, a note in the note, Bolden played music as he perceived by ear, adapting the melodies in his own way.Doing this, he created a new and delightful merger of Ragham, black church music, the style of marching bends and rural blues.

He rebuilt a typical dance orchestra of the new Orleans in such a way that it is better to adapt it to the execution of blues; String instruments became a rhythm-section, and wind instruments came to the front edge, including a clarinet, thrombone and of course the cornet of Bolden. The throat of the blues, extracted by Bolden from his cornet, mixed with the magical spiritual echoes of the black Baptist of the Church.

This unexpected sound mixture, replete with blues notes, was literally strung to uneven impulsive rhythms of the tribal African dance. The result was the new sound that perfectly suited for Dansing and quickly attracted the attention of the young African Americans of the New Orleans. Not a single dance event in New Orleans was complete without King Bolden. Whenever he opened the window in Masonic or Globe Hall and brought his old cornet to his lips and blew into it, people flocked there to listen to his game from everywhere.

At the same time, Baddy Bolden played on the cornet as no one was able to. He brought the dancing to his music into a frenzy, and some simply came in a cry, "wow, this is played by King Bolden!
