OT: Farewell,Jimmy Cobb

[Sifaka]

This wonderfull musician died of lung cancer, age 91. If you love Miles Davis's Sketches of Spain and Kinda Blue, you already know Mr. Cobb.

Jimmy Cobb kind of blue, R.I.P.

 

[JonathanXIV]

The last member of the great first Miles Davis quintet.

 

[Steelerone]

If you love jazz Mr. Cobb was a Hall Of Famer,

He had a good run. Gotta be a great feeling, being part of some of the best music ever made.

A sad day indeed. I saw Jimmy not too long ago with Joey DeFrancesco at the Jazz Standard here in NYC. He was subtle and dynamic yet always musical. Jimmy was one of those that understood the melody and treated with the understanding of a master. RIP to another irreplaceable. As Ogden Nash said:

People expect old men to die,
They do not really mourn old men.
Old men are different. People look
At them with eyes that wonder when...
People watch with unshocked eyes;
But the old men know when an old man dies.

“Jimmy you know what to do. Just make it sound like it’s floating. Miles Davis to Jimmy Cobb before the Kind of Blue session. And float he did.

BTW, on this date in 1926 Miles Davis was born. Last night I was watching a British police drama in which the star is a big Miles Davis fan. As a result his music features often in scenes. Kind of Blue was one of the tunes.

Do you mean "So What?" Kind of Blue was the name of the album, not any of the songs on it.

Sorry that I was unclear, but the guy tells a colleague that the CD playing in the background is"Kind of Blue". Show titled DCI Banks.
