Bolden features Gary Carr, Erik LaRay, Yaya DaCosta, Reno Wilson, Karimah Westbrook and Robert Ri’chard.
In 2007, Dan Pritzker began filming Bolden!, the story of music pioneer Buddy Bolden, the man known to have created the sound of Jazz, starring Anthony Mackie, Wendell Pierce and Jackie Earle Haley. Dissatisfied with the results, he undertook extensive reshoots two years later. Frustrated by conflicts on-set and unable to captured the movie he saw in his head, he put Bolden! aside. But this year, with a fresh approach, a handpicked crew and new leads—Gary Carr, Erik LaRay Harvey and Ian McShane—he returned to start over.
