His band recorded at least two titles for a local New Orleans company making
soft cylinders.
The year was probably around 1904 but I expect list members with more
precise knowledge will correct me on that.
Copies of these have never be found although researchers at one time located
a building (shed!) in which some were reputed to have been stored. Alas, by
the time the searchers arrived the building had been demolished. The story
has been covered by New Orleans Music magazine but I don't now remember in
which editions.

I didn't know Buddy Bolden recorded.  Have these recordings simply been
lost?  Which recording company did they record for and when?

All the best,
Rob McCallum
