Jimmy Cobb Quartet - Jazz In The Key Of Blue (Hybr) [CD]

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').Bolstered with new liner notes featuring quotes from bassist John Webber, Jazz In The Key Of Blue is reissued in 2026 as part of the Chesky Original Masters series on SACD Hybrid Stereo.Note: These Hybrid SACD discs are compatible with all standard CD and SACD players.
