Robert Louis Marshall was a Bailiff for the Seattle court system and worked under a traffic court judge, Judge Roy McGiff at The Specialty Service Bureau in Seattle, Washington. Robert adopted his own children secretly and he had affairs with prostitutes, and various street women. He owned his own business (an unemployment office) and was a self-made millionaire. But most important, he was a superb jazz musician playing the bass fiddle. He also owned a night club for young adults called the House of Entertainment. He was a U.S. Naval band leader in the 1940s, he put together his own musical group, the Bob Marshall Sextet and, last but not least, he was the President of the Black Musicians Union (The Blue Notes). Life was tough in Seattle, Washington, in the 1940s, the way of life consisted of post- Great Depression woes. The Civil Rights movement had not quite begun but racial segregation was the indicator that it would happen sooner rather than later. For one particular man, a jazzman, his dreams were so big perhaps most men may have found them to be mere fantasy. Robert Louis Marshall possessed such dreams. Jazzman is the story of his amazing life!
