This album has had a checkered history. Initially issued on the European label Contempo Vibrato, it was then promoted by Eleana Tee, the widow of a major influence on modern jazz, organist Richard Tee. This release adds three cuts to the original LP. Kicking off with introductory patter between Bill Cosby and leader Jimmy Cobb, the set offers a play list of nine songs and brings together a m�lange of musicians who perform a mix of jazz (modern and mainstream), soul, and rock. Gregory Hines and Freddie Hubbard are assigned the most prominent roles, Hines as a vocalist and with his tap dancing. Some of the others, such as David Liebman, are hard to locate. Hines and Marilyn Redfield join for a jazzy, soulful version of "So Nobody Else Can Hear." This is contrasted with a dreamy, sometimes eerie, version of Bill Evans' "Remembering the Rain," to which Eleana Tee has added lyrics delivered by Redfield. With his pure, free timbre and persuasive obbligatos, Hubbard makes a potent contribution on this cut. Redfield and Hubbard also get together on another Tee product, a poetic "Spotlight." One of the added tracks, "Cute," has Hines putting on his dancing shoes for frenetic tapping on top of Cobb's rapid drumming, before Larry Willis comes in to do the melody. This one is breathtaking. There are a few occasional distractions. There are mike problems on a cut or two. Cobb counts off the beat on "Four More Blues," which gives every indication that it will be the album's swinger. Yet the track ends abruptly after about 45 seconds. But these intermittent digressions should not prevent a strong effort to locate this classic session, if for no other reason than the enduring Hubbard trumpet. ~ Dave Nathan, All Music Guide
Jimmy Cobb
Active Decades: '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Jan 20, 1929 in Washington, D.C.
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Hard Bop
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.
