	Drummerworld: Jimmy Cobb
		That's because Jimmy Cobb possesses an innate understanding of what is appropriate, a readily identifiable sense of touch and tempo, a sublime feeling for tension and release, a propulsive ride cymbal signature, and a refined awareness of when to hold back, and when to ease up on the reins and air things out.
		Jimmy Cobb is a peerless timekeeper who takes pride in being a compassionate accompanist--more concerned with making the music swing than in shining the spotlight on his own prestidigitations.
		Cobb's Mob has its origins in Jimmy's work as a musical mentor at Manhattan's New School, where Jimmy was drawn to the beautiful Grant Green-influenced guitar sound of student Peter Bernstein, who in turn introduced him to bassist John Webber.

		For all his achievements, however, Jimmy Cobb’s contribution has too often been taken for granted, which is why he is the perfect subject to help launch the new Honors Series from Marsalis Music.
		What Cobb heard – a lean, assertive beat that drives a band without calling attention to itself – shaped some of the most influential music of the ‘50s and ‘60s.
		Cobb credits Speight, who has established himself as a leading jazz educator at Stanford and San Francisco State Universities, with bringing the drummer together with producer Branford Marsalis.

	Tucson Weekly: Cobb Nobbing (June 17 - June 23, 1999)
		Cobb became his wife's musical director and led the Jimmy Cobb Orchestra.
		By the mid-'50s, in New York City, Cobb was gigging with some of the hottest talent ever--Coltrane, Julian "Cannonball" Adderly and Dizzy Gillespie to name a few--during the music's most fertile period.
		Cobb's playing is still as precise and inventive as ever.

		The New York-based Cobb was in Michigan for a recording date with Kalamazoo jazz pianist and educator Ron DiSalvio, three MSU jazz faculty members (bassist Rodney Whitaker, trumpeter Derrick Gardner, tenor saxophonist Diego Rivera), and one student (alto saxophonist Patrick Terbrack).
		Since Cobb is the last man surviving from that recording – and still active, to say the least – DiSalvio invited him to join, and said he was delighted when Cobb accepted.
		One student asked Cobb how he keeps such superb time (he is known for cracking the rhythmic whip just a hair ahead of the beat, subtly upping the ante for his bandmates).

	CD Review of Jimmy Cobb's Mob - Only For The Pure At Heart on Fable Records @ jazzreview.com
		While Jimmy is not in the super drummer class like Buddy Rich or Gene Krupa, he is very much like drummers Mel Lewis, and Ed Thigpen, and Joe Morello in the sense that they add wonderful colors to the music without imposition.
		Again, behind Peter's smooth approach to the guitar, Jimmy is heard caressing the cymbals as if actually dancing under the stars, and enjoying the festivities.
		Jimmy can certainly swing and move with the changes, keeping the listeners attention throughout.

		Cobb's style of drumming is in the classic hard-bop tradition of Jones, Max Roach, and Art Blakey.
		As an accompanist he plays forcefully, aggressively, and slightly ahead of the beat; as a soloist he uses the entire drum set in a quasi-melodic fashion.

		And that’s no knock on Cobb, pianist Richard Wyands, guitarist Peter Bernstein or bassist John Webber, each of whom is a standout.
		Of course, Cobb and his Mob come to play too, and Groove would be a rather tedious session without them.
		Cobb's Groove is a paradigm of swinging, straight-ahead contemporary jazz, superbly performed by five world-class musicians.

	Ron Carter / Jimmy Cobb / George Coleman / Mike Stern: 4 Generations of Miles - PopMatters Music Review
		Coleman, who is a direct descendent of Charlie Parker as far as his harmonic approach and ability to play with amazing speed and accuracy, provides some breathtaking moments, such as his double-time solo break on "There Is No Greater Love" or his nonstop ostinato introduction, melodic statement, and subsequent solo on "On Green Dolphin Street".
		Cobb is great throughout, providing the right combination of timekeeping and forward thrust to keep things always energetic and snappy.
		His work on "81", while not as incendiary as that of Tony Williams, is soulful and provides just the right level of funky overtones.

		So the real Cobbâs Mob to begin with was Brad Mehldau, Peter Bernstein, John Webber (bass) and myself.
		Also, Dakota Staton and Jimmy Smith were on the gig.

		This missive was originally going to focus on a short list of the “best” jazz releases of 2004, and certainly there were a number of exceptional releases that would suggest, at least to the most optimistic of jazz lovers, that the medium remains stable and perhaps off the critical list.
		Jimmy Smith first appeared on our radar screen in 1966 with “Got My Mojo Workin” and, in the process, introduced us to Kenny Burrell, Phil Woods and Ron Carter.
		Freeman, joined by Richard Wyands on piano, John Webber on bass, and the great Jimmy Cobb on drums, challenges the listener, using a language that is almost unique, certainly stylized, but without any of the distractions one might hear from Pharoah Sanders or the idiom of Ornette Coleman.

	CD Review of Jimmy Cobb's Mob - Cobb's Groove on Milestone @ jazzreview.com
		While somewhat overshadowed by other drummer-titans of the post-bop era (Blakey, Haynes, Roach, Philly Joe), Jimmy Cobb was surely one of the archetypical (and most hardcore dependable) drummers of that epoch (1958-1967), playing w/ Miles’ Kind of Blue band, Nancy Wilson and many others.
		Along w/ such as Barry Harris, Cobb - with his unflashy but crisp, certain swing - keeps the flames of straight-up bebop going.
		While the imaginatively titled Cobb’s Groove offers little in the way of surprises, it’ll likely please the Old Guard with their brand of relaxed bop.

		His discography is massive and impressive, but where his successor in the Davis band, Tony Williams, was a ferociously outgoing and flamboyant drummer, Cobb set a standard for restraint and musicality that remains his hallmark today.
		Cobb’s Groove is a mellow hard bop showcase for Cobb and his bandmates.
