Jazz lovers remember Bobby Jones from his work with the Charles Mingus band. In the early 70's Jones did several recordings and tours with Mingus. After a dispute with the bandleader, Jones left the group and settled down in Munich. Together with Dusko Goykovich he formed his own band called "Summit". Due to his serious illness (that also caused his early death) he had to quit playing. "Hill County Suite" documents some of Bobby Jones best playing. Especially his beautiful clarinet tone is outstanding. This recording is a musical high-light from the enja back-catalogue!
