Miles Davis' iconic album 'Kind of Blue' was released 60 years ago this week. Drummer Jimmy Cobb, the last survivor of the musicians who assembled for the recording, is still playing music.
As legend has it, Miles Davis assembled a super group of jazz musicians in a New York studio and recorded a bunch of songs without retakes. They left Columbia's 30th Street Studio having no idea that their work would become one of the best-selling jazz albums of all time.He recalls one song required a second try. And while they may not have known they were making history, they understood they'd created a hit with"Kind of Blue.
Cobb grew up in Washington, D.C., listening to jazz albums and staying up late to hear disc jockey Symphony Sid playing jazz in New York City before launching his professional career. He said it was Adderley who recommended him to Davis, and he ended up playing on several Davis recordings.On Aug.
The full takes of the songs were recorded only once, with one exception, Cobb said."Freddie Freeloader" needed to be played twice because Davis didn't like a chord change on the first attempt, he said.

NASA Scientists Make Life-Changing Discovery But You Kind Of Had To Be ThereWASHINGTON—Admitting that a second-hand retelling would not do their findings justice, NASA scientists confirmed Thursday that they had made a life-changing discovery, but you kind of had to be there. “These results revolutionize our very understanding of subatomic particles—man, I wish I could even explain, however, it’s just something you had to see for yourself,” said head researcher Laurel Devantez, trying in vain to describe not only the innovative fruits of their labor, but also the incomparable feeling of witnessing such a breakthrough come to light alongside her closest NASA colleagues. “We all definitely grew closer after experiencing this all together as a team. It completely upended our entire understanding of the material universe, but we tried explaining it to some other scientists and they were clearly just acting like they got it.” At press time, the NASA scientists were annoying other researchers by cracking up about inside terminology that could only be understood by those who knew the details of the discovery.
