<i>You a sensation, Bolden.</i>

71
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,533
You play horn louder
than the day's long,

72
00:10:35,535 --> 00:10:37,168
even in the hot sun.

73
00:10:37,170 --> 00:10:41,272
You got women dropping to your feet,
hoping to carry your horn.

74
00:10:41,274 --> 00:10:43,875
The day you was born,
you was kissed on the lips

75
00:10:43,877 --> 00:10:47,379
with something only you got,
ain't nobody else got it.

76
00:10:47,848 --> 00:10:49,814
Folks hear your music,

00:10:49,816 --> 00:10:51,282
they understand something

78
00:10:51,284 --> 00:10:53,418
can't hardly put to words.

79
00:10:55,589 --> 00:10:58,223
And I know how to sell
what you got.

80
00:11:00,594 --> 00:11:02,927

Mmm-hmm.

83
00:11:10,904 --> 00:11:13,338
How the band supposed to make
more money if we gotta pay you?

84
00:11:14,207 --> 00:11:16,941
I put you in front
of a white audience.

85
00:11:23,183 --> 00:11:24,716
Jesus Christ, Bartley.

86
00:11:24,718 --> 00:11:27,185
Yeah.

00:11:27,187 --> 00:11:28,453
You ever done this?

88
00:11:28,455 --> 00:11:30,155
I got to fly

Boy, they don't
like this one bit, huh?

90
00:12:03,690 --> 00:12:05,490
How long before
we gotta start this...

91
00:12:06,593 --> 00:12:08,560
- Oh, no, I'll be damned.
- Oh, yeah.

92
00:12:08,562 --> 00:12:10,795
Oh, no. Buddy.

93
00:12:11,765 --> 00:12:13,131
Bartley, I don't think
this is a good idea.

94
00:12:13,133 --> 00:12:15,467
Oh, you'll be all right.
You'll be great.

95
00:12:15,469 --> 00:12:16,568
I won't fall?

96

No. Bring her with.

Ain't never enough

You gotta call 'em all.

160

Nora,
why you don't come see me play?

173

00:26:51,110 --> 00:26:52,810
she don't like that, no.

178
00:27:00,686 --> 00:27:02,920
Mama don't like
your music neither.

179
00:27:08,427 --> 00:27:10,127
Hey, whoa, whoa!

180
00:27:10,963 --> 00:27:12,863
Y'all ain't

181
00:27:15,768 --> 00:27:17,501
Put your horns down.
Put 'em down, put 'em down.

182
00:27:17,503 --> 00:27:19,837
We, we, we,

183
00:27:19,838 --> 00:27:22,172
Tillman, give me that, uh, give me that

184
00:27:22,174 --> 00:27:23,874
This one?

00:27:24,677 --> 00:27:26,377
Yeah, yeah,

186
00:27:26,379 --> 00:27:27,678
Now, Johnson.

187
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,414
Ba, ba, ba-ra, ba-ra.

00:27:30,416 --> 00:27:32,716
Ba, ba, ba-ra, ba-ra.

189
00:27:34,553 --> 00:27:36,854
See how that feels?
Yeah, yeah, that's it.

190
00:27:36,856 --> 00:27:38,555
Now, Mumford,

00:27:43,596 --> 00:27:45,929
Oh, yeah.

Yeah.
Yeah, that's right.

197
00:27:58,077 --> 00:27:59,009
Yeah.

198
00:27:59,011 --> 00:28:00,077
<i>Now, Warner.</i>

199
00:28:01,147 --> 00:28:03,447
Pay attention. Look.
You're gonna hit the four.

200
00:28:07,420 --> 00:28:08,752
Come on, Warner.

Yeah, ha.

Why would you now...

211
00:29:06,946 --> 00:29:07,946
Yeah!

212
00:29:13,419 --> 00:29:14,419
Come on.

213
00:29:38,544 --> 00:29:39,544
I love you!

214
00:29:58,731 --> 00:30:00,063
Mama.

00:30:15,247 --> 00:30:16,346
<i>Mmm.</i>

217
00:30:16,347 --> 00:30:17,446
Yeah. That's it.

218
00:30:17,449 --> 00:30:19,283
Ease into it
like that.

219
00:30:19,718 --> 00:30:21,118
And you gotta, um...

220
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,387
Get your...
Get your wrists loose.

221
00:30:23,389 --> 00:30:24,872
See that.

222
00:30:24,873 --> 00:30:26,356
Blow your lips.
Like that.

223
00:30:26,358 --> 00:30:27,858
You blow...

224
00:30:27,860 --> 00:30:30,260
Yeah, like...

225
00:30:34,633 --> 00:30:37,467
<i>I ain't raise my daughter
for the likes of you.</i>

226
00:30:37,469 --> 00:30:40,537
How you fixin' to make a livin'

227
00:30:41,540 --> 00:30:43,373
Why can't you
get a real job?

228
00:31:52,578 --> 00:31:54,077
You dressing for church?

229
00:31:54,079 --> 00:31:58,615
<i>I don't wanna hear nothing about
that First Street Baptist Church.</i>

230
00:32:03,389 --> 00:32:04,688
We're Episcopal.

231
00:32:11,130 --> 00:32:12,763
Yeah.

232
00:32:12,764 --> 00:32:14,397
<i>I got a new collar
for your shirt.</i>

233
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,434
<i>Mama, I ain't wearing a collar.
It's too tight around my neck.</i>

234
00:32:18,804 --> 00:32:20,404
Where you

235
00:32:20,773 --> 00:32:22,205
Union Sons Hall.

236
00:32:23,442 --> 00:32:25,809
They call it the Funky Butt
when you're out playing.

237
00:32:25,811 --> 00:32:27,411
Yeah, Mama.
But how you know that?

238
00:32:27,413 --> 00:32:28,445
I hear things.

239
00:32:29,982 --> 00:32:32,015
No, Mama, no.
No, Mama.

240
00:32:33,619 --> 00:32:35,052
No, Mama, please.

241
00:32:36,322 --> 00:32:37,921
Mama, please, I can't
breathe with that on.

242
00:32:37,923 --> 00:32:38,989
But you look good.

243
00:32:38,991 --> 00:32:40,657
Can't breathe in it.

244
00:32:54,707 --> 00:32:56,139
Hey!

245
00:32:57,643 --> 00:32:59,109
Hey!

246
00:33:00,446 --> 00:33:01,478

Hey, Mavis.

00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,180
Bolden, we got a big crowd
waitin' on you, man.

257
00:34:11,183 --> 00:34:12,716
We're busy now, honey.

258
00:34:12,718 --> 00:34:15,552
And George Baquet,
waitin' out there with his horn.

259
00:34:16,455 --> 00:34:19,089
Blue-eyed tan man comin'
to our neighborhood?

260
00:34:20,492 --> 00:34:22,426
Warner, you worried
about George Baquet?

261
00:34:22,428 --> 00:34:24,061
That motherfucker
comin' for my job.

262
00:34:24,063 --> 00:34:25,629
Ain't nobody
comin' for your job.

263
00:34:25,631 --> 00:34:27,964
Why you think the best
paid clarinet man in New Orleans

00:34:27,966 --> 00:34:29,366
come to the pit
to play with us?

265
00:34:29,368 --> 00:34:31,301
Jimmy Palao got the
light-skin niggers, too.

266
00:34:31,303 --> 00:34:32,836
Nobody come
for your job.

267
00:34:32,838 --> 00:34:35,205
He ain't so white

You can't take care
of yourself.

285
00:36:29,254 --> 00:36:31,688
Ain't you got one already?
A little boy?

286
00:36:38,096 --> 00:36:40,764
<i>Yeah!</i>

<i>Right and wrong.</i>

00:36:45,070 --> 00:36:48,238
Oh, it can be

289
00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:50,106
Lord wrote a book
about it.

290
00:36:50,108 --> 00:36:53,276
Civil societies are
defined by it.

291
00:36:55,314 --> 00:36:58,181
You just don't know
the difference.

292
00:36:58,183 --> 00:37:00,417
<i>Niggers don't know

294
00:37:12,464 --> 00:37:14,497
We're gonna

295
00:37:18,637 --> 00:37:19,703
Come on.

296
00:38:02,447 --> 00:38:04,281
<i>King Bolden.</i>

297
00:38:04,283 --> 00:38:06,750
I want you to meet
George Baquet.

298
00:38:14,693 --> 00:38:15,759
Hey, George.

299
00:38:21,199 --> 00:38:23,033
You come to copy me?

300
00:38:23,035 --> 00:38:24,367
Don't worry, Warner.

301
00:38:24,369 --> 00:38:26,736
He just want to do a couple
of rounds with Bolden.

302
00:39:50,756 --> 00:39:51,756
Yeah!

303
00:40:19,017 --> 00:40:21,751
Ladies and gentlemen,
this here George Baquet.

304
00:40:48,180 --> 00:40:50,180
<i>Here, here,
let me show you how to.</i>

305
00:40:55,086 --> 00:40:56,453
Warner, come and get me!

306
00:40:57,489 --> 00:40:59,589
Come on, Warner,
come and get me.

307
00:41:00,659 --> 00:41:01,659
Come on.

308
00:41:30,522 --> 00:41:33,122
It's all right.
It's all right.

309
00:41:34,092 --> 00:41:35,558
You'll get this.

310
00:41:37,562 --> 00:41:39,596
<i>Bolden, do you
write your music down?</i>

311
00:41:40,332 --> 00:41:42,765
Can you
write it down?

312
00:41:42,767 --> 00:41:44,300
We're composing on the bandstand,
you know?

313
00:41:44,302 --> 00:41:47,637
So, it's...
It's like we're talking to each other.

314
00:41:47,639 --> 00:41:48,972
We're havin'
a conversation.

315
00:41:48,974 --> 00:41:51,674
I let the notes play on through,
that's what I do.

316
00:41:52,444 --> 00:41:54,010
Just got to listen.

317
00:41:54,012 --> 00:41:56,646
I never play without the
music right in front of me.

318
00:41:58,617 --> 00:42:00,717
You play it the same,
same, same, same, same.

319
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:02,852
I don't do none of that.
I play it my way.

320
00:42:02,854 --> 00:42:04,738
Every time.

321
00:42:04,739 --> 00:42:06,623
And that string may,
it may never come out the same

322
00:42:06,625 --> 00:42:07,891
so how you gonna
write it down?

323
00:42:07,893 --> 00:42:09,359
How you gonna
write it down, huh?

324
00:42:09,361 --> 00:42:10,960
Bolden if you don't
write your music down,

325
00:42:10,962 --> 00:42:12,896
how's anyone gonna
play it when you're gone?

326
00:42:12,898 --> 00:42:15,832
You don't understand.
It's a... It's a livin' thing.

327
00:42:15,834 --> 00:42:17,901
It's, it's, it's...
It's me and the whole band.

328
00:42:17,903 --> 00:42:20,136
We, we, we just
breathing together.

329
00:42:21,773 --> 00:42:23,806
So you don't even know
what you're gonna play.

330
00:42:24,376 --> 00:42:26,142
You know,
sometimes I...

331
00:42:28,580 --> 00:42:31,080
I think it's better
not to play anything at all.

332
00:42:36,555 --> 00:42:39,756
Bolden, try playing
around this.

333
00:44:24,129 --> 00:44:26,329
You think Warner
holding back the band?

334
00:44:27,298 --> 00:44:28,931
He been working hard.

335
00:44:29,968 --> 00:44:31,968

349
00:45:29,494 --> 00:45:31,127
He the color champ.

350
00:45:31,129 --> 00:45:33,062

00:45:37,602 --> 00:45:39,001
and you wanna know why?

354
00:45:39,003 --> 00:45:40,036
Why?

355
00:45:40,038 --> 00:45:42,038
'Cause they don't
find us serious.

356
00:45:44,442 --> 00:45:48,010
Gettin' in a ring with Jack
Johnson's pretty goddamn serious.

357
00:45:52,250 --> 00:45:53,449
White folks...

358
00:45:54,853 --> 00:45:56,919
they're gonna have to
reckon with talent.

359
00:45:59,390 --> 00:46:01,491
Bolden, you know about

360
00:46:02,193 --> 00:46:03,960
cylinder recording?

361
00:46:05,830 --> 00:46:08,698
- Cylinder recording?
- Mmm-hmm.

362
00:46:08,700 --> 00:46:10,600
Put your music
in a machine.

363
00:46:22,213 --> 00:46:24,647
<i>Bartley know a man
put music in a tin can.</i>

364
00:46:24,649 --> 00:46:26,349
<i>Music in
a tin can?</i>

365
00:46:26,351 --> 00:46:27,617
<i>Yeah.</i>

366
00:46:27,619 --> 00:46:28,818
Well, how do it work?

367
00:46:28,820 --> 00:46:30,486
You sound music
into a machine

368
00:46:30,488 --> 00:46:32,355
and the machine
put out a tin can.

369
00:46:32,357 --> 00:46:35,424
They'll put tin can back into the machine,
and that music come out.

370
00:46:37,362 --> 00:46:38,928
B...

371
00:46:38,930 --> 00:46:40,763
Music in a tin can?

372
00:46:40,765 --> 00:46:42,765
What it sound like?

373
00:46:42,767 --> 00:46:44,700
I don't know.
I never heard it.

374
00:46:44,702 --> 00:46:46,469
But Bartley say
it sound like money.

375
00:46:47,572 --> 00:46:49,438
Sounds like magic.

376
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,174
Yeah.

377
00:46:51,176 --> 00:46:54,911
Folks will hear my music,
but I'm invisible.

378
00:46:54,913 --> 00:46:56,312
I don't know, Nora.

379
00:46:56,314 --> 00:46:58,848
People hearing you play
and you ain't there?

380
00:47:01,085 --> 00:47:02,285
Yeah.

381
00:47:57,575 --> 00:47:59,008
<i>This is a shit hole!</i>

382
00:47:59,944 --> 00:48:02,678
Gotta get a better place!

383
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,014
And I want
bigger niggers next time.

384
00:48:48,393 --> 00:48:49,692
This cost a dime.

385
00:48:50,929 --> 00:48:53,629
<i>Sell 50 vials,
you make a dollar.</i>

386
00:48:55,867 --> 00:49:00,136
<i>Sell 100 vials,
you get $2.10.</i>

387
00:49:01,606 --> 00:49:03,239
<i>As business gets better,</i>

388
00:49:04,676 --> 00:49:06,042
y'all do better.

389
00:49:07,812 --> 00:49:09,578
<i>There's money
in recording music.</i>

390
00:49:11,582 --> 00:49:13,983
You gonna put your music
in Bartley's machine?

391
00:49:16,454 --> 00:49:18,688
<i>If there's a machine
play your music,</i>

392
00:49:18,690 --> 00:49:20,156
more folks gonna hear.

393
00:49:20,758 --> 00:49:22,792
White folks, too.

394
00:49:22,794 --> 00:49:24,627
<i>They the ones
can afford the machine.</i>

395
00:50:06,404 --> 00:50:09,105
<i>Desire and desperation</i>

396
00:50:09,107 --> 00:50:12,208
<i>are dangerous
motivations, Bolden.</i>

397
00:50:16,581 --> 00:50:18,180
<i>Humility recedes</i>

398
00:50:18,182 --> 00:50:21,217
<i>and loyalty vanishes.</i>

399
00:50:22,053 --> 00:50:24,453
One thing stays the same.

400
00:50:24,455 --> 00:50:26,522
There's always someone
who can do it better.

401
00:51:01,893 --> 00:51:03,492
Teach him
a lesson, Buddy.

402
00:51:08,266 --> 00:51:09,666
<i>Yeah, all right.
Thank you.</i>

403
00:51:26,717 --> 00:51:29,952
Warner, I can't find
the valves to my horn.

404
00:51:29,954 --> 00:51:31,587
You have the valves
right here. Look.

405
00:51:31,589 --> 00:51:32,655
You're fine.

406
00:51:32,657 --> 00:51:33,756
I'm not fine, Warner.

407
00:52:09,494 --> 00:52:10,226
Buddy.

408
00:52:12,230 --> 00:52:13,529
Play somethin'.

409
00:52:15,233 --> 00:52:18,134
He's gonna let some other
motherfucker right in

410
00:52:18,136 --> 00:52:19,301
and steal our shit off?

411
00:52:19,303 --> 00:52:21,303
Who gonna catch us, Buddy?

412
00:52:21,304 --> 00:52:23,304
Cornish<i>, Cornish, Cornish.
You're supposed to be on my side.</i>

413
00:52:23,307 --> 00:52:26,308
Can't nobody do
what we do, baby.

414
00:52:26,310 --> 00:52:29,778
You gotta put your music in that
man's machine, motherfucker.

415
00:52:34,018 --> 00:52:36,385
King Bolden.
You ready?

416
00:52:37,121 --> 00:52:39,255
Are you ready, Warner?

417
00:52:39,257 --> 00:52:41,223
Ain't I lookin' ready?

418
00:52:41,225 --> 00:52:42,858
We gonna play
at Butcher Hollow tonight.

419
00:52:42,860 --> 00:52:43,860
No.

420
00:52:45,029 --> 00:52:46,529
It hurts my ears, man.

421
00:52:46,531 --> 00:52:48,797
The sound comin' off
of that wall, it's, uh,

422
00:52:48,799 --> 00:52:50,299
messin' with my time,
so...

423
00:52:50,301 --> 00:52:52,067
We go now,
we'll be right on time.

424
00:52:52,069 --> 00:52:53,869
Right on the down beat.

425
00:52:53,871 --> 00:52:56,872
Warner, listen to me.
My lip ain't balmed, so...

426
00:52:58,142 --> 00:53:01,143
So get on down there.
I'll meet y'all over there.

427
00:53:01,145 --> 00:53:02,711
Come on, man,
we gotta go to work.

428
00:53:02,713 --> 00:53:04,680
"Go to work"?
Warner, you goin' to work.

429
00:53:07,752 --> 00:53:08,984
You all right, Buddy?

430
00:53:08,986 --> 00:53:10,186
Goddamn!
Warner, get out!

431
00:53:10,188 --> 00:53:11,120
<i>Warner get out!</i>

432
00:53:11,122 --> 00:53:12,888
Get on out.

433
00:53:12,890 --> 00:53:14,423
And I'll be right over.

434
00:53:15,059 --> 00:53:16,392
Okay?

435
00:53:21,566 --> 00:53:23,699
Well, I guess I'll see you over there,
Buddy.

436
00:53:36,347 --> 00:53:39,815
You were supposed to be
playing my place last night.

437
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:46,288
I heard you was playing down the street.
Hmm?

438
00:53:46,290 --> 00:53:48,791
You fuck up my Thursday
night business.

439
00:53:48,793 --> 00:53:50,459
Somebody be
playing like me.

440
00:53:50,461 --> 00:53:53,162
Somebody be
playing like me.

441
00:53:53,164 --> 00:53:56,465
You gonna give us
the next three Thursdays

442
00:53:56,834 --> 00:53:58,634
for nothin'. Hmm?

443
00:53:59,971 --> 00:54:00,971
Gotta pay the band.

444
00:54:03,674 --> 00:54:06,141
<i>You out your
motherfuckin' mind.</i>

445
00:54:06,143 --> 00:54:08,277
You mess with

446
00:54:08,279 --> 00:54:11,280
that means you messing
with my business.

447
00:54:20,858 --> 00:54:22,858
<i>Hey, Bartley,</i>

448
00:54:22,859 --> 00:54:24,859
<i>what you gonna do when you get
Buddy's music in a tin can?</i>

449
00:54:24,862 --> 00:54:26,328
<i>I'm gonna sell it.</i>

450
00:54:26,330 --> 00:54:28,597
<i>Who's gonna want
to hear his music?</i>

451
00:54:28,599 --> 00:54:32,334
And I got exclusive arrangements
with a white man by then.

452
00:54:37,275 --> 00:54:39,642
Baby, you're gonna be
a family man now.

453
00:54:39,644 --> 00:54:42,544
You gonna have a child
to provide for.

454
00:54:42,546 --> 00:54:46,015
You wanna play your horn instead
of plastering walls, all right.

455
00:54:46,017 --> 00:54:48,350
But you gotta
make it pay.

01:02:41,458 --> 01:02:42,958
Mmm-hmm.

531
01:02:49,967 --> 01:02:53,335
We need to talk about exclusive arrangements,
you and me.

532
01:03:13,957 --> 01:03:16,191
<i>I'll put you
in front of a white audience.</i>

533
01:03:25,803 --> 01:03:27,869
<i>You a sensation, Bolden.</i>

534
01:03:28,505 --> 01:03:30,472
<i>When people hear your music,</i>

535
01:03:30,474 --> 01:03:34,142
<i>they understand somethin'
can hardly be put in words.</i>

536
01:04:11,348 --> 01:04:16,184
<i>We need to talk about exclusive arrangements,
you and me.</i>

537
01:05:00,964 --> 01:05:04,199
Playing with George Baquet,
good business.

538
01:05:12,042 --> 01:05:14,910
Now how you gonna make a livin'
without these, huh?

539
01:05:17,147 --> 01:05:20,115
You got a wife and child
to provide for.

540
01:05:21,318 --> 01:05:22,384
If it is your child.

541
01:05:34,631 --> 01:05:36,498
You gonna
get out of bed?

542
01:05:36,500 --> 01:05:40,402
Willie Cornish come by,
gave me the buttons for your horn.

543
01:05:41,605 --> 01:05:43,338
Why you takin' them out?

544
01:05:48,545 --> 01:05:50,145
<i>I hear your daddy
every time you play.</i>

545
01:05:50,147 --> 01:05:52,547
<i>I hear your daddy
every time you play.</i>

546
01:05:58,288 --> 01:06:00,655
<i>Your daddy die young
to give you strength.</i>

547
01:07:19,336 --> 01:07:22,103
<i>My daddy gave me
the power of my lungs.</i>

548
01:07:22,105 --> 01:07:24,439
<i>That's how I play like I do.</i>

549
01:07:58,208 --> 01:08:01,209
<i>Your daddy
was sacrificed for your gift.</i>

550
01:08:01,211 --> 01:08:03,244
<i>What gonna happen
to your baby?</i>

551
01:08:03,246 --> 01:08:05,380
You gonna lose your gift.

552
01:08:07,584 --> 01:08:09,651
Where are you now?
Huh?

553
01:08:28,572 --> 01:08:29,804
Brothers and sisters...

554
01:08:37,214 --> 01:08:40,448
...I come to you today
to talk about returning home.

555
01:08:40,450 --> 01:08:41,549
Back to Africa.

556
01:08:46,156 --> 01:08:48,923
We will never
be Americans.

557
01:08:48,925 --> 01:08:50,625
It's time to return home.

558
01:08:54,698 --> 01:08:57,499
- Now, let's go.
- We have the right to a peaceful protest.

559
01:09:30,867 --> 01:09:32,800
Get out! Get out! Go!

560
01:10:04,100 --> 01:10:06,401
You, come here!
You don't move!

561
01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:11,239
- Hey. Hey.
- Keep your hands off of me!

562
01:10:18,181 --> 01:10:20,348
This is all on Bartley.

563
01:10:20,350 --> 01:10:24,619
This here's your enterprising nigger's boy,
Bolden.

564
01:10:24,621 --> 01:10:28,122
<i>Caused a riot outside that
dance hall he was playin' at.</i>

565
01:10:28,124 --> 01:10:29,857
<i>He's serious trouble.</i>

566
01:10:31,261 --> 01:10:32,927
This is all on Bartley.

567
01:10:36,099 --> 01:10:37,699
<i>Shut Bolden down?</i>

568
01:10:37,701 --> 01:10:41,302
<i>Shut him down.
Just stop that boy playing.</i>

569
01:10:41,304 --> 01:10:44,272
A bold nigger
is dangerous.

570
01:10:59,322 --> 01:11:00,722
What you lookin' at?

571
01:11:59,049 --> 01:12:00,481
Come on.

572
01:12:00,483 --> 01:12:01,949
Get on out of here.

573
01:12:03,553 --> 01:12:05,720
Motherfucker!
Get off of me!

574
01:12:09,359 --> 01:12:11,326
Cornish, where's Warner?

575
01:12:15,932 --> 01:12:18,132
<i>You made all your crowd crazy,
caused a riot.</i>

576
01:12:18,134 --> 01:12:20,101
You will stop playing
your goddamn horn.

577
01:12:20,103 --> 01:12:22,937
That's what the motherfuckers want.
That's what you'll do.

578
01:12:34,117 --> 01:12:35,850
What we gonna do here?

579
01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:45,259
<i>What's wrong
with the man?</i>

580
01:12:45,261 --> 01:12:46,894
<i>He gone
lost his mind.</i>

581
01:12:47,464 --> 01:12:48,996
Look, he ain't no Bolden,

582
01:12:48,998 --> 01:12:51,999
but we can always get Bunk
Johnson to play with us all.

583
01:12:55,038 --> 01:12:56,537
Ain't you got work?

584
01:12:58,241 --> 01:12:59,807
You gonna
get out of bed?

585
01:14:37,307 --> 01:14:40,241
No. No, no. Leave me!

586
01:16:51,641 --> 01:16:53,274
Horns up, motherfuckers.

587
01:17:32,382 --> 01:17:33,814
<i>Ambition...</i>

588
01:17:35,518 --> 01:17:37,284
<i>born of vanity.</i>

589
01:17:40,623 --> 01:17:43,157
<i>This is America, Bolden.</i>

590
01:17:43,159 --> 01:17:45,760
<i>How far you think
you're gonna get?</i>

591
01:17:47,764 --> 01:17:49,864
Destroy the nigger's soul,

592
01:17:49,866 --> 01:17:53,234
and they will destroy
each other.

593
01:18:16,626 --> 01:18:17,892
Turn around.

594
01:18:27,103 --> 01:18:28,936
Number 9 to win.

595
01:18:41,050 --> 01:18:42,717
Your valves
are right here.

596
01:18:42,952 --> 01:18:44,218
You fine.

597
01:18:52,228 --> 01:18:53,461
I'm leaving you, Buddy.

598
01:18:54,931 --> 01:18:57,465
Mr. Warner gonna
take us up to Chicago.

599
01:18:59,535 --> 01:19:01,302
I'mma help them
settle up there.

600
01:19:02,672 --> 01:19:04,805
Can see if I can
get some work.

601
01:19:05,708 --> 01:19:07,608

No culture.

01:26:23,646 --> 01:26:25,445

639
01:26:25,447 --> 01:26:27,781
And that ain't never
gonna change.

640
01:26:30,186 --> 01:26:32,286

raise your head,

641
01:26:32,288 --> 01:26:34,621
get people to gather
like you're some kind of...

642
01:26:37,026 --> 01:26:39,726
You think we're gonna
let that happen?

643
01:26:39,728 --> 01:26:40,994
Hmm?

644
01:26:40,996 --> 01:26:44,331

You don't like

646
01:26:49,872 --> 01:26:51,905
No one ever will.

647
01:27:02,251 --> 01:27:04,651
Power that is not righteous

648
01:27:05,221 --> 01:27:07,321

01:27:50,566 --> 01:27:52,833

Thank you, folks.

01:27:55,137 --> 01:27:57,437
Thank you, folks.
Thank you, folks.

652
01:27:57,439 --> 01:27:58,839
So good to be back home.

653
01:27:58,841 --> 01:28:00,841
You know,
when I was a little boy wearing short pants,

654
01:28:00,843 --> 01:28:03,577
I lived with my sister and
my mama in the back of town.

655
01:28:03,579 --> 01:28:06,280
<i>Yeah. Yeah,
that was my neighborhood.</i>

656
01:28:09,385 --> 01:28:11,952
I was delivering coal
to the district.

657
01:28:13,555 --> 01:28:16,723
Boy, yeah, they don't talk about
a district no more, now, do they?

658
01:28:18,661 --> 01:28:21,828
Yeah. Yeah, I think I remember
seeing you there, Jackson, yeah.

659
01:28:21,830 --> 01:28:23,930
You had a big hat on though
covering your face.

660
01:28:26,769 --> 01:28:30,370
Anyway, this one morning, I was rolling
through that particular neighborhood,

661
01:28:30,372 --> 01:28:33,407
and I heard a sound
that I never heard before.

662
01:28:33,409 --> 01:28:34,875
<i>I thought, "Man..."</i>

663
01:28:37,846 --> 01:28:39,680
And, folks,
I wanna tell you something.

664
01:28:39,682 --> 01:28:42,349
He was playing the
saddest tune anyone hear.

665
01:28:42,351 --> 01:28:44,217
Oh. Mmm-mmm.

666
01:28:44,219 --> 01:28:45,686
I looked at him,
I said, "Mister."

667
01:28:45,688 --> 01:28:48,088
I said, "Mister."

668
01:28:48,089 --> 01:28:50,569
I said, "Why you playing so sad,
why you playing so sad a tune?"

669
01:28:52,795 --> 01:28:54,115
<i>And he looked at me
and he said,</i>

670
01:28:55,097 --> 01:28:56,830
he said, "Son,

671
01:28:56,832 --> 01:28:59,366
"today they took away the king.
They took away the king."

672
01:29:15,451 --> 01:29:17,184
<i>I said, "The king?"</i>

673
01:29:17,186 --> 01:29:18,618
<i>I was just a little boy,
you know.</i>

674
01:29:18,620 --> 01:29:20,253
<i>"The king?"
I said, "Who's the king?"</i>

675
01:29:20,255 --> 01:29:21,588
He said, "'Who's the king?'"

676
01:29:21,590 --> 01:29:25,225
"Buddy Bolden."
He said, "King Buddy Bolden."

677
01:29:25,227 --> 01:29:27,127
<i>That's what he told me.</i>

678
01:29:29,465 --> 01:29:32,232
<i>So this one's gonna go out
to King Buddy Bolden,</i>

679
01:29:32,234 --> 01:29:34,501
the first king
of New Orleans music.
