Jimmy Cobb RIP

[rp314]

Cobb was the last surviving member of what's often called Miles Davis' First Great Sextet. He held that title for almost three decades, serving as a conduit for many generations of jazz fans into the band that recorded the music's most iconic and enduring album, Kind of Blue.

He made it to 91. Luckily, we'll always have those great recordings...

RIP

I was happy to have gotten a chance to meet him and I sincerely wish him and his family the best through this. He was a working drummer through it all.

Indeed, and he left behind many great recordings besides his work on Kind of Blue.

Released his last album (that I'm aware of) last year: https://smokesessionsrecords.com/shop/a ... ig-of-you/

For anyone passing through... this is a nice little spot for shows, food and drink (back in the day when people went out to see shows in tight spaces). If we back to "normal" here, this is a good place to check out music. You'll see his photos/albums up.

RIP, another great old timer gone.

Among Jazz drummers who go back to the 50s I think the only one left is Roy Haynes who turned 95 in March.
