Jimmy Cobb Quartet

The sole surviving member of the sextet that recorded Miles Davis's 1959 cool jazz classic Kind of Blue, drummer Jimmy Cobb arrives in town in support of a new album dedicated to his old bandmaster. Released in Sony's fancy-pants Super Audio CD format, the Japan-only Remembering Miles includes some of the trumpeter's favoured standards, among them 'I'll Remember April' and 'Stella by Starlight', as well as a new original titled 'Remembering U'. Trumpeter Eddie Henderson and pianist Tadataka Unno will be joining the 82-year-old Cobb again for his Tokyo dates (he also plays at Shinjuku Pit Inn on November 22), with Yonatan Levi replacing John Webber on bass.
