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.
