Rick makes a straight up jazz video. So glad to see this man. When he goes from brushes to sticks on “All Blues”, man, that alway gives me a chill. My favorite moment on that amazing record. The feel I chased with my own jazz quintet, “milesahead”. Thanks man
Wow! Yes, absolutely! I always had goosebumps at that very moment, and I remember checking (and learning) Jimmy Cobb's name in the credits when I got that album at age 17 (A long, looOOOoong time ago). Of course, I got all those albums, being a Miles, Wayne, and Wes eternal student!
@@RickBeato Please Make More jazz videos And Help Keep The Music Alive You Should Interview @Jazz Video Guy He's An Incredible Guys And Also Loved Your Interviews of Pat Metheny, John Scofield and Ron Carter!!! You Guys Gotta Meet!!!
Legend. The man traversed the history of jazz. How great that he endured this long. Jimmy was playing Blue Note and Smalls up til quite recently. Kind of Blue is the perfect album in many ways. It's timeless and impossible to grow weary of. Sketches is so moody. Full House is a great album. The title track is awesome, but I really love S.O.S. Jimmy's uptempo ride is sweet--I like how he always was in that space btw'n the triplet and the quarter note. Very sensitive player, but also really called out the quarter note. Thanks for giving the drummer some, Rick! Jimmy is important.
"Kind of Blue" really is the perfect album. It was the album that made me fall in love with jazz. The album was so groundbreaking at the time. Imagine the experience of putting that record on the turntable in 1959 and listening to it for the first time.
He taught at Jamey Aebersold's summer workshop a few years ago. Listening to Jimmy Cobb playing with the other distinguished faculty was a total thrill! He still sounded like that!
Props, Rick for your heartfelt tribute to Jimmy Cobb. You're not just giving an important musician his due, but by turning on your millions of followers to some of the greatest music ever, also doing this 'auto-tuned world' a huge service. You' da man, Rick Beato!
Rick has such a passion for music that it is contagious! That was one of the most exciting tributes I've ever seen. The emotion at the end of the video filled my eyes with tears. Jimmy must surely be smiling up there. Thank you Rick. Stay safe.
Rick, you are a teacher, cheerleader, scholar, preacher, spiritual, all these and more. This tribute to Jimmy Cobb is so warm and heartfelt. Keep up with your mission. Seems every one of your videos is your best.
Rick: you are the best! Keeping the love of music alive, and reminding us not to forget key contributors to ensemble playing. Your passion, enthusiasm, and joy shine through every time. RIP Jimmy Cobb.
Give it a shot bro, you can't go wrong with some good jazz man. Check out Pat Metheny Group. May I suggest Still Life Talking. If you can dig that then your in👈😎👍
Music's a continuum, and it might just fall apart without jazz. Go slow, and go deep into the classics. You'll 'get it'. So much to look forward to. Now I need to revisit my collection...
There's soooo many different stylings of jazz from the early New Orleans sound of the late 19th century across the Swing era of the 30s to the atonal Free Jazz stylings of the 60s through the Jazz Rock and Fusion of the 70s up to contemporary Jazz that encompasses all of these styles and mixes them with whatever influences and instrumentation the composer, band, artist likes. It is unlikely that you dislike all of them :)
@@bernhardkrickl3567, the New Orleans, Swing era, & smooth jazz are the among jazz that i can digest easily. While the rest of the styles probably, i may have to develop good hearing sense to appreciated them. Since jazz is arguably a highest form of music, i guess certain jazz genre could only appeals to or appreciated by seasoned musicians. But hey, i really like Coltrane's Giant Steps, maybe i could handle some hard jazz stuff out there.
Oh man. And just like that, every soul that played on Kinda Blue has snuffed out. Staggering to realise that. Each of them has been immortalised through their music. Fantastic tribute Rick, well done.
I love your tribute to Jimmy Cobb, Rick! I was fortunate enough to meet him in person as well in Toronto at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in January/February of 2002. He was there as part of the International Association of Jazz Educators Annual Conference. It was absolutely life changing for me. Every performance I saw was phenomenal from The Yellowjackets to Renee Rosnes to John Pattitucci Group, Dave Weckl Band, Oscar Peterson, Benny Green & Russell Malone.... so many other legends. Meeting Mr. Cobb was a very casual thing. He was very pleasant to all of us present. The whole event is something I’ll never forget for as long as I live. Thank you for this video. I love your genuine enthusiasm for music history. Your content has helped me tremendously during this pandemic. Thank you Mr. Beato. Cheers
The Kind of Blue album is otherworldly. It’s the kind of album which has the ability to take you on a metaphysical journey. Jimmy's drumming on it is just pure perfection, as are all of the performances by all the other musicians as well. Thanks for the vibes Jimmy, have an awesome journey!
Sad to lose that last legend. I'm 52 and while everyone else was into rock and pop I was into Jazz since first hearing it when I was 7 or 8. These records are the address where I live. I'm discovering a lot of rock through Rick and it's ironic, coz i was into jazz. And a lot of what I've listened to all my life had Jimmy Cobb cooking in the background. Thanks Jimmy. Loved what you served up. RIP
I just read the foreword to Miles Davis’ autobiography which was written by Jimmy Cobb a few months ago. I thought to my self, wow I cant believe the drummer that played on such a legendary jazz album was still alive. But now this, such horrible news. RIP Jimmy Cobb 1929-2020.
Jimmy Cobb also did the foreword to the book "Kind of Blue - The Making of the Miles Davis Masterpiece" by Ashley Kahn. A book I cherish and now have to re-read while listening to the albums Rick mentioned.
Jimmy was there in all those living rooms and dining rooms playing when people were sadly talking, with him in the back ground cooking. His ride offering so much to the conversation.
Scatting in unison with Wes for many bars of music...Rick knows those solos stone cold in his heart. I enjoy Wes's playing immensely too, and have played most of the tunes on Kind Of Blue with my band. Going forward I"ll open my ears wider still to hear Jimmy Cobb play.
When Rick goes to a jazz club: "Sir, I'm terribly sorry but we need to ask you to leave... you're enjoying the music more than the rest of this place combined and making everyone feel inadequate in their jazz comprehension. " Rick: "Shouldn't they be the ones asked to leave?" "Good point. You can stay."
My Granddaughter and I are jamming to Jimmy Cobb right now Mister Beato.!!!! I was showing her the autographed photo of him, Keter Bettes and Dinah Washington, signed by all and given to my Mom with love in the early 1950s when she saw them. I am so so happy to share all of this with my five year old beautiful and one day she will cherish this memory and gets to keep the photo❤️
So honored to have attended a seminar @norfolk state in '80 when he was in Dr.Billy Taylor's trio,so gracious,he signed my program "straight ahead"never forget his humanity & incredible talent!!
Jimmy and I we're friends for a Long time....and I'll miss him dearly. Met Jimmy in the 80s, a NY gig, in Syracuse. Learned a lot from Jimmy and got to talk about his unbelievable career 🙏 and got to sit in with him one time. God bless 🙏😇😇🙏🙏....my first real jazz teacher. Thank you Jimmy... I'll never forget you, my friend.
Damn - thanks, man. You've been putting more jazz on your channel lately; most of your subscribers are very young, and they need to know where it all came from. Roots, man - roots are everything.
About time we get some Jazz. 90 episodes of “What Makes This Song Great” and still no Jazz! Look at your facial expressions and how much you’re digging this!
Thanks Rick for your tribute to Jimmy Cobb. Jimmy was the drummer of choice by the greatest of the greats. He showed us how to swing, how to listen, how to set a table, the true meaning of cool. Blessings to his family..RIP Jimmy
Here is the problem with copyright claims. I never heard of 'Sketches of Spain' and i listened and it was something never i've heard before and i'm going to buy it. Maybe without this channel i wouldn't be hear it for a long time. How is this not advertising? Isn't it moronic to block videos?
Exactly. But unfortunately these record labels and old media companies are still stuck in the 20th century, "pre-Napster" mentality that refuses to concede your point you made.
Its weird. Jacos first album, full house, sketches of Spain, bitches brew, miles live, all VERY hard to find vinyl and streams. All jazz is on CD now...
RIP Jimmy Cobb. Thanks Rick, for your enthusiastic presentation, and for introducing these artists and their masterpieces of melody, composition and improvisation to a generation or two who would have otherwise been deprived.
Awesome piece. I did not have the pleasure to have ever met Jimmy Cobb but know some who have and they all say how wonderful a person he was besides being an incredible musician. RIP indeed.
That was beautiful Rick.You handled it with a full range of emotions, from your joyful enthusiasm to your respectful sorrow. Cobb was one smooth swinging cat.
heckler73 that was my very first thought.... Lars is far too arrogant to be watching such an inspirational music teacher - especially given the subject matter is Jazz.
Your knowledge and enthusiasm is contagious. I grew up not only hearing Mariachi , Conjunto, Santana, El Chicano and lots of R&B and and Motown and the like for this 61 year old Buckeye born LA raised but I was exposed by my older sisters to Jazz of Wes Montgomery, Tequila vinyl, Stan Getz, and many others. One of our neighbors had a son my age, he and I schooled together. His mother remarried a man who had family who enjoyed jazz, Al Hirt I remember , but man, what great music. Thank you for this .
I love your musical enthusiasm. I found you when you featured Steely Dan’s Kid Charlemagne. I’m a huge, huge SD fan. Thank you for introducing me to such a great rang of music with all of your YT posts and thank you for giving this extraordinary musician his due. RIP
I am actually just hearing about this now, and man did that just bring a huge depressing weigh on me. May he Rest in Peace, and he really did leave an important legacy just for working with Miles Davis alone.
I am near 40 right now, I listen mostly classical music, blues and metal, but back when I was 20, I had a tshirt written "jazz is everything"..I miss these days, and I feel I will come back to jazz..:) Return to the source :)
I had the chance to hear Jimmy Cobb last year at Smoke in New York. At the age of 90 he was still playing gigs. And at the age of 90 he still had a lot of energy to put into that drum kit. Between sets, I had to go meet him. I shook his hand and thanked him for everything. Sadly, even though he’s famous for being the drummer on kind of blue, he didn’t see a lot of money from that session. Not all the famous get rich.
“He was a very special and unusual person - a gifted musician with natural talent, like an athlete. And a gifted human being with a great, happy personality,” his wife Eleana said. “He played all around the world. He was vibrant up until the end,” she said. “It’s a big deal that he’s gone. It’s very painful. I’m a little bit in shock.”
Shocking. Just yesterday I stumbled upon a documentary on Miles Davis on Netflix. Jimmy Cobb was interviewed on it, and talked about "Kind of Blue". I was amazed that he was still alive. And this morning when I got a notification about THIS video. I was shocked by this amazing coincidence. RIP Jimmy Cobb.
I remember I was a freshman at UMass a few years ago and I had tickets to see Jimmy Cobb play with his group right on campus, and probably less than an hour before the concert was going to start the entire campus was put in lockdown. There was some drug deal in one of the dorms that led to an argument (I heard it was because someone tried to pass off oregano as weed), someone pulled out a fake gun, and a bystander thought it was a real one and alerted the police. So I had to sit in my last class (which just so happened to be band) while Jimmy Cobb and his group sat in the concert hall ready to play for a crowd that would never show up. The concert got cancelled and I never heard him play!
Jimmy's time feel was amazing. People must have loved playing with him because it would allow them to relax and do their thing no matter what the tempo.
Man, you are one of the best music channels on youtube. You have so much knowlege and experience, its humbling. R.I.P. Jimmy, you will be missed. Also, Rick, I had a dream recently that you sold me a 1978 corvette for $800. Hit me up any time, we'll arrange something.
I learned about him in a jazz course I took in college. Though I never met him, I worked with his daughter who is an incredible singer in her own right. May he rest well. 🙏🏾
The fact that Rick can mimic/sing all those solos by memory completely blows my mind. He really loves music in a way that inspires me and makes want listen to music I've never heard cause I want to feel that same passion.
Jimmy Cobb was a true legend. My dad was a Wes Montgomery lover and would play his records for me in the early 60s when I was a kid. I didn't really understand how important those musicians were until I was older. I liked them though. Thanks for this tribute to Cobb.
Impressive note for note scatting Rick. It's obvious how much you love this music. Your enthusiasm is infectious; it's your greatest asset. Keep scatting and air drumming I get it.
Wow, I didn’t know that he was the drummer of those legendary albums. This are very sad times, the legends are passing away but other future legends are appearing, we have to support them and don’t forget the amazing musicians like him.
It's important to speak about all of the legends we lose. We are living in a time where many of these greats of the Jazz and early rock and roll era are now dying. They should be celebrated and remembered for their work. Jimmy Cobb lived a full 91 years. He left a legacy of great music. I will play some of my Miles Davis and Wes Montgomery CD's today to remember him.
It's funny how just a couple of weeks ago I took acid and listened to Sketches of Spain for the first time ever. It was like I met god. Fantastic drummer. RIP
If you dig that, try listening to his album "In a Silent Way". I felt high the first time I listened to it, and I didn't even have any intoxicants in my system.
@@AidanCarberry That's right! He said that he thought that he had hit the cymbal too hard but Miles didn't stop and call for another take. Music is never that spontaneous these days.
I must say I've never been into jazz much at all. But it was so worth it to see you playing air drums to these songs. Can't help but see the passion you have for these jazz greats! Thank you Mr. Beato.
I like that you're introducing these greats to your younger audience.
And it's working, God bless him!
Each one is a giant of jazz musicianship. McCoy Tyner left us this year also.
How good is Rick? - he literally can skat the actual notes of these musical masterpieces. Genius.
Doesn't surprise me at all, any decent jazz musician can and does this naturally, What would amaze me more is anyone who can't, regardless of genre
I love how your tribute was just nerding out to his music. That’s a real tribute TBH. Nice job!!!
What Makes this song great?

@Kenny butler TRUE, TURE!
I want to hear the rest of the story of Rick meeting Jimmy!

Anyone know the name of the tune Rick was playing from the full house record?

If you look up the definition of "in the pocket" in the Jazz Dictionary there's a picture of Jimmy Cobb.
Totally agree!
Not true, there should be a picture of Mr. Cobb.
And another from Homero for luck
Dude. I can tell you get this music intellectually, emotionally, and most importantly, intuitively. I'm very jealous my friend. Incredible video!
Thank you Michael 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
dont be jealous...do it yourself too...listen deeply, train your ear
Jimmy Cobb influenced how I played my ride cymbal growing up. You FELT that ride down deep

So I had to sit in my last class (which just so happened to be band) while Jimmy Cobb and his group sat in the concert hall ready to play for a crowd that would never show up. The concert got cancelled and I never heard him play!
Why haven’t you ever done a “What make this song great?” Of some of these awesome jazz songs?
For tasteful restraint, Jimmy Cobb's drumming on "All Blues" is about as good as it gets. I never tire of listening.......
What an awesome tribute! the way you can sing the solos : ) feelin it
Jimmy's time feel was amazing. People must have loved playing with him because it would allow them to relax and do their thing no matter what the tempo.
Man, you are one of the best music channels on youtube. You have so much knowlege and experience, its humbling. R.I.P. Jimmy, you will be missed.
Also, Rick, I had a dream recently that you sold me a 1978 corvette for $800. Hit me up any time, we'll arrange something.
I learned about him in a jazz course I took in college. Though I never met him, I worked with his daughter who is an incredible singer in her own right. May he rest well. 🙏🏾
“Black Diamond” is an underrated, underrated tune. I love that album.
The fact that Rick can mimic/sing all those solos by memory completely blows my mind. He really loves music in a way that inspires me and makes want listen to music I've never heard cause I want to feel that same passion.
Love the tribute, love the high pitched scat singing even more
I love how you paid tribute to the other cats as well. Rick Beato, you have soul.
Great vid. Small correction: that's Bill Evans, not Wynton Kelly, dropping those voicings on So What.
Clementine Kelly was on one track.

Correction ? So What was never mentioned...?
Skyler Kirby he was playing So What while saying that, so that’s probably why.
@@rkk578 The version Rick played is definitely off the original release. You can tell by the improvised solo that Miles is playing. One of a kind.
Jimmy Cobb was a true legend. My dad was a Wes Montgomery lover and would play his records for me in the early 60s when I was a kid. I didn't really understand how important those musicians were until I was older. I liked them though. Thanks for this tribute to Cobb.
Smokin' At the Half Note is my favorite jazz guitar album of all time. Jimmy Cobb was insane on that album.
Smoothest pickups and turnarounds I've ever heard, historical.
I just love watching Rick jam out, he looks like hes having so much fun haha
Impressive note for note scatting Rick. It's obvious how much you love this music. Your enthusiasm is infectious; it's your greatest asset. Keep scatting and air drumming I get it.
Wow, I didn’t know that he was the drummer of those legendary albums.
This are very sad times, the legends are passing away but other future legends are appearing, we have to support them and don’t forget the amazing musicians like him.
Inspiring words my friend.
It's important to speak about all of the legends we lose. We are living in a time where many of these greats of the Jazz and early rock and roll era are now dying. They should be celebrated and remembered for their work. Jimmy Cobb lived a full 91 years. He left a legacy of great music. I will play some of my Miles Davis and Wes Montgomery CD's today to remember him.
It's funny how just a couple of weeks ago I took acid and listened to Sketches of Spain for the first time ever. It was like I met god. Fantastic drummer. RIP
Wow your so cool man!
If you dig that, try listening to his album "In a Silent Way". I felt high the first time I listened to it, and I didn't even have any intoxicants in my system.
Yes sir! This is where it's at. Thanks for featuring this.
Most famous cymbal crash ever at the beginning of So What.
I saw an interview within the last month where he discusses that.
So true
And he thought that he had overplayed the room! What a guy.
Yeah in the interview he said he thought he overstepped and was gonna have to do another take.
@@AidanCarberry That's right! He said that he thought that he had hit the cymbal too hard but Miles didn't stop and call for another take. Music is never that spontaneous these days.
I must say I've never been into jazz much at all. But it was so worth it to see you playing air drums to these songs. Can't help but see the passion you have for these jazz greats! Thank you Mr. Beato.
Love the Beato Air Drumz...
As a lifelong drummer I just wanted to say thanks for doing this tribute. Amazing work over the long haul by Jimmy Cobb!
