Today is the birthday of Jimmy Cobb, the drummer in the legendary Kind of Blue recording with the Miles Davis group in March 1959. Jimmy makes his appearance 30 seconds into the So What recording that is included on my blog Miles Davis Kind of Blue Turns 50. He is the last surviving member of that memorable group composed of Miles, Bill Evans and Wynton Kelly both on piano, Johnny Coltrane on tenor sax, Julian Adderly on alto sax and Paul Chambers on bass.
He is leader of the Jimmy Cobb "So What" band that plays the music of Miles Davis epitomized by the Kind of Blue recordings of 1959.
