I saw him once, at a benefit for Barney Kessel at Birdland. I don't remember if he backed Pat Martino or the band after Pat, which may have included George Coleman. Edited May 25, 2020 by mjzee Quote

CJ Shearn Posted May 26, 2020 Report Posted May 26, 2020 RIP Mr. Cobb, thank you for that unyielding cymbal beat Quote
Late Posted May 26, 2020 Report Posted May 26, 2020 Damn. I've always loved Cobb's playing on Wayne Shorter's first record. Quote
bebopbob Posted May 26, 2020 Report Posted May 26, 2020 What an amazing musician - heard him most recently with Emmet Cohen in Connecticut about a year a half ago - played as great as always -R.I.P. Mr. Cobb, you are missed Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted May 27, 2020 Report Posted May 27, 2020 We will tell others for the rest of our lives about him Quote

Justin V Posted May 28, 2020 Report Posted May 28, 2020 I saw Jimmy Cobb perform only twice. Once was at the University of Pittsburgh Jazz Seminar concert. It was an all-star lineup. A pared-down group of Cobb, Pharoah Sanders, Kenny Barron and Robert Hurst performed 'So What'. Roger Humphries later joined the band and engaged in a drum battle with Cobb on a tune or two. The other time I saw Cobb was with Four Generations of Miles (with Sonny Fortune, Buster Williams and Mike Stern). It was the last time I saw Fortune as well. Cobb swung like crazy and soloed mightily. Beyond his contributions to undisputed masterpieces like Kind of Blue and Smokin' at the Half Note, Cobb played on so many great albums. I think that he is underrated given the impact that he had. Thank you for the music, Mr. Cobb, and rest in peace. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted May 28, 2020 Report Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) I saw Joey D And Jimmy play a few years ago edit January 2015 Edited May 30, 2020 by Soulstation1 Quote
mr jazz Posted May 29, 2020 Report Posted May 29, 2020 Joey D, Jimmy and Larry Coryell at Blues Alley in DC a few years ago. Fun show and everyone was having a good time. Quote
