About the birth of the project, Hughes explains, “I had been playing with bassist Gordon Johnson around Minneapolis and occasionally a ‘Manfredo’ tune would come up. Gordon had played extensively with Manfredo back in the day and really knew the tunes.” Johnson suggested they contact drummer Gordy Knudtson, who also had extensive playing time with Manfredo. After a few sessions, the basics were recorded. With Dave Graf on trombone, Dave Bendigkeit on trumpet and Marc Anderson on percussion, Bossa Blues came together as a tribute to the music and genius of the late Manfredo Fest.
