In Minneapolis, he ran a jazz venue which went through many tribulations, including lack of funding, drugs, and the police. Bobby was able to grab performances by Freddie Hubbard, Roland Kirk, and Elvin Jones. Even a native young man named Prince strolled in to enjoy the sounds. This albums release was 8 years in the making, in very limited quantities, and had no distribution whatsoever! This is deep Soul Jazz at its finest.
