In 2009, 79-year-old jazz drummer Jimmy Cobb, then the last surviving
member of the famous Miles Davis group that had recorded the iconic Kind Of
Blue album, was enjoying a late-career renaissance as a bandleader
Recruiting the Texas trumpet sensation and flugelhorn master Roy Hargrove
alongside guitarist Russell Malone and bassist John Webber, Cobb recorded Jazz In
The Key Of Blue, an exquisite collection of quiet, moody-invoking, late-night ballads for
Chesky Records. The quartet offers stunning interpretations of standards from The
Great American Songbook - including 'Every Time We Say Goodbye,' and 'I Had The
Craziest Dream' - with jazz- inflected covers of pop hits (Billy Preston and Syreeta's
1979 Motown hit 'With You I'm Born Again') and striking original tunes (Cobb's
'Remembering U').
Jazz In The Key of Blue will be released on 180g 'One-step Pressing' blue vinyl LP for
Record Store Day 2026 on 18th, April 2026, limited to just 1,700 copies worldwide. The
LP comes with new liner notes featuring quotes from bassist John Webber.
