Hobart introduced me to Bill Fielder. I don't remember the year. They were with the Slide Hampton band. i worked with Hobart a few times. The last time was with the singer, Damita Jo. If the name seems familiar, it is because it is Janet Jackson's middle names
Hobart was a monster lead player. Here is a discography for Hobart.
