About this book
Michael Ondaatje reimagines the life of jazz pioneer Buddy Bolden in turn-of-the-century New Orleans. Fragments of recollection, imagined conversations and shifting voices evoke the cornet player’s music, relationships and mental collapse. A lyrical novel that blends historical material with imaginative storytelling rather than presenting a conventional biography.
