'Kind of Blue' jazz drummer Jimmy dies

Jimmy Cobb, the drummer on Miles Davis's 1959 jazz classic "Kind of Blue" - revered by critics as one of the greatest albums of all time - has died aged 91, US media reported Monday.
His wife Eleana Cobb said the musician died on Sunday of lung cancer at home in Manhattan, according to broadcaster NPR and other outlets. "He was a very special and unusual person - a gifted musician with natural talent, like an athlete," she told the New York Daily News.
Cobb had been the last surviving member of the sextet who recorded "Kind of Blue" over two days in a converted church in New York.
