I do not understand this. I thought that Buddy Bolden was confined to
permanent hospital care already 1907. Did they take the photo in the
hospital?

http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=35861 gives a very
good review - here is a snip:
> Jazz historian and WWOZ radio host Tom Morgan has assembled rare
> photographs and added text and captions that bring the photos to
> life as he tells the story of jazz in New Orleans in a way only a
> good historian and storyteller can do. The book contains some 200
> pages of beautiful photographs with captions. They are arranged in
> time order in five chapters, each beginning with a one page
> description by Morgan of the era to follow.
>
> The book contains many photographs familiar to early jazz fans
> cornetistBuddy Bolden's only known photo, from 1909; Louis Armstrong
> holding his trumpet proud as a young boy in the Municipal Boys Home
> Band, and various photos of pianist Jelly Roll Morton. There are
> also photographs of trombnist Kid Ory, cornetists King Oliver and
> Freddie Keppard, banjoist Johnny St. Cyr and many others from the
> early jazz era. The book proceeds into later era where Pete
> Fountain, Tuba Fats, The Neville Brothers, Banu Gibson and Kermit
> Ruffin are featured.
