The nucleus of Cobb's Mob formed while veteran drummer Jimmy Cobb was teaching at the New School. This 2003 studio session features two charter members, guitarist Peter Bernstein and the leader, along with seasoned pianist Richard Wyands, bassist John Webber, and special guest Eric Alexander on tenor sax. Five of the nine tracks are originals contributed by members of the band, starting with "Cobb's Groove," a bluesy hard bop masterpiece by the drummer that stimulates a number of great solos. Wyands' lush ballad "Willow Tree" showcases Alexander's warm tenor. Bernstein wrote three songs, including the turbulent "Jet Stream," the sauntering "Minor Changes," and the funky strut "Bobblehead." Webber's booming bass introduces a delicious take of the standard "Sweet and Lovely," while the subtle treatment of Henry Mancini's lovely ballad "Moment to Moment" adds a slight latin flavor. Throughout the date the musicians interact rather than just react, with Cobb's just-right percussion holding it all together perfectly. ~ Ken Dryden, All Music Guide
Jimmy Cobb
Active Decades: '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Jan 20, 1929 in Washington, D.C.
Genre: Jazz

A superb, mostly self-taught drummer, Jimmy Cobb has been a dominant accompanist and outstanding soloist. He approaches the drum kit in both a melodic and percussive fashion, never playing overly-long or rambling solos. He's known for working slightly ahead of the beat, and has anchored many fine sessions as well as spending five years with Miles Davis in the '50s and '60s. Cobb did study briefly with Jack Dennett, a percussionist with extensive symphonic credentials. He played with Charlie Rouse, Leo Parker, Frank Wess, Billie Holiday and Pearl Bailey in Washington, D.C. Cobb left in 1950 to join Earl Bostic, and cut his first recordings with him. He played with Dinah Washington over three years, then worked with Cannonball Adderley, Stan Getz and Dizzy Gillespie. He took over for Philly Joe Jones in the Davis band in 1958, and was on hand for several seminal dates. He finally left, along with Paul Chambers, to team with Wynton Kelly. The trio played and recorded with Wes Montgomery, Kenny Burrell and J.J. Johnson before it disbanded. Cobb played on the film soundtrack "Seven Days In May," and later worked with David Amram. He worked with Sarah Vaughan through the '70s, and was featured on a public television film of a Vaughan concert at the Wolf Trap Jazz Festival. Cobb also worked with Richie Cole, Sonny Stitt, Nat Adderley and Ricky Ford. During the '80s he worked with the Joe Albany trio. Cobb remains active, though there are currently no albums under his name as a leader listed.
