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 fugelhorn 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- infected 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').

Bolstered with new liner notes featuring quotes from bassist John Webber, Jazz In The Key Of Blue is reissued in 2026 as part of the Chesky Original Masters series on Stereo Hybrid SACD.

Tracks: Every Time We Say Goodbye / With You I'm Born Again / I'll Still Be In Love with You / Emily / Stairway to the Stars / I Had the Craziest Dream / Remembering U / What Will I Do / If Ever I Would Leave You / We'll Be Together Again
