Bunk Johnson in New Orleans - between late 19th Century and early 20th Century
from Hear Me Talkin' To Ya: The Classic Story of Jazz as Told by the Men Who Made It, pages 36-37:
And King [Buddy] Bolden was one fine-lookin' brown-skin man, tall and slender and a terror with the ladies. He was the greatest ragtime cornet player, with a round keen tone. He could execute like hell and play in any key. He had a head, Buddy did!
