Jimmy Cobb Dead: ‘Kind of Blue’ Drummer for Miles Davis Dies at 91

groundbreaking jazz album which transformed the genre and sparked several careers, died Sunday .

The album, released on Aug. 17, 1959, captured a moment when jazz was transforming from bebop to something newer, cooler and less structured. Davis, who died in 1991, had some notes jotted down, but there weren’t pages of sheet music. It was up to the improvisers to fill the pages. “He’d say this is a ballad. I want it to sound like it’s floating. And I’d say, ‘OK,’ and that’s what it was,” Cobb recalled.

Rest In Peace 💛💛💛💛
