(Radio.com) After toying with the idea for a few months, Prince booked six last-minute shows at the Dakota Jazz Club in downtown Minneapolis last week.

Wednesday night (January 16) saw Prince play two shows (8 p.m. and 11 p.m.) billed as a "sound check" audition for new drummer Ronald Bruner.

According to a report from CBS Minnesota, Prince had a ten-member band that surprisingly started right on time and played mostly jazz for about an hour and a half. Prince only played small riffs of his hit songs, and is perhaps saving those for the shows later in the week. more on this story
