Robert Ri’chard talks with Khalif M. Townes about his Role and Experience in the New Film “BOLDEN”
Bolden is a film based on the life of cornetist Buddy Bolden (1877-1931). One of the seminal figures in jazz history, Bolden left no surviving recordings, having been committed in 1907 at age 30 to the Louisiana State Insane Asylum, where he spent the rest of his life after a diagnosis of acute alcoholic psychosis.
