Product Information

A superb, mostly self-taught musician, Jimmy Cobb is the elder statesman of all the incredible Miles Davis bands. Cobb’s inspirational work with Miles, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderly and Co. spanned 1957 until 1963 and included the masterpiece Kind of Blue, the most popular jazz recording in history.

On this new Chesky Records recording, Jazz In the Key of Blue, Jimmy Cobb pairs up once again with 36-year old, Grammy Award winning trumpeter, Roy Hargrove, who has firmly established himself as among the premier players in jazz and beyond.

The tried and true pair are joined, this time around, by guitarist Russell Malone and bassist John Webber. Malone, an Albany, Georgia native, built his chops in his twenties as sideman to none other than jazz organ icon Jimmy Smith. And Webber, from the American Midwest, is more than an able torchbearer for past alumni of the region, among them Jimmy Blanton and Ron Carter.

Jazz In the Key of Blue continues to prove Jimmy Cobb’s mettle as a bandleader, his imperturbable, rock-steady swing, paving the way for the rhythms and sounds of yet another generation of jazzmen. (chesky. com)

Rezensionen


"Jimmy Cobb zeigt hier auch mal seine gefühlvolle Spielweise hinter den Drums, schöne Besenarbeit bekommt man hier zu genüge zu hören und immer auch mit den einfühlsamen Gitarrenspiel von Russel Malone. Pianist John Webber agiert hier mehr im Hintergrund, aber ohne Piano, würde hier sicherlich was fehlen." (jazzdrummerworld. com)

"Das Quartett konzentriert sich auf Balladen und langsame Tempi, und die exquisite Aufnahme gibt die immense Dynamik großartig wieder. So fein wie hier sind die Nuancen im Ton der Instrumente nur auf wenigen Platten zu erkennen. Die mit hochkonzentrierter Session-Atmo aufgenommene Scheibe verführt zum Träumen. Wunderbar."
