THE BALTIMORE CHAMBER JAZZ SOCIETY
PRESENTS JIMMY COBB'S MOB

Kind of Blue Drummer featured in the Annual Jazz Masters Concert

The Baltimore Chamber Jazz Society continues its sixteenth season of exceptional jazz concerts at The Baltimore Museum of Art with its Annual Jazz Masters Concert featuring Jimmy Cobb's Mob on Sunday, February 18, 2007 at 5 pm. One of Baltimore's premiere jazz concert series, CJS programs some of the finest artists in jazz today. All concerts take place at The Baltimore Museum of Art, 10 Art Museum Drive, Baltimore. Tickets are $27 general admission, $25 for BMA Members and Senior Citizens, and $10 for students with ID at the door. For more information, please call the Chamber Jazz Society at (410) 385-5888 or visit www.baltimorechamberjazz.org. In conjunction with this concert The BMA will offer a free pre-concert gallery talk that compliments the music. For more information on these talks, please call The BMA directly at 443-573-1818.

This season's Annual Jazz Masters Concert features Jimmy Cobb's Mob with Jimmy Cobb on drums, Peter Bernstein on guitar, Richard Wyands on piano, and John Webber on bass. Mostly self-taught, Jimmy Cobb is the last surviving member from the 1959 classic album Kind of Blue, long considered the best-selling jazz album of all time. Linked to Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, and the masters of jazz from the 1950s and 1960s, Jimmy Cobb is certainly no relic. With his working band, Cobb's Mob, which includes the popular guitarist Peter Bernstein, Cobb continues to explore and develop his sound. Without a doubt, this will be a swinging concert! In celebration of Black History Month, there will be a free docent-led tour at the BMA to explore the visual art by African-American “masters". The free pre-concert tour begins at 4 pm. To reserve space, please contact the museum directly at 443-573-1818.

Upcoming concerts include The Monty Alexander Trio on Sunday, March 11, 2007; and The Terell Stafford Quintet on Sunday, April 29, 2007. All concerts begin at 5 pm and have open seating.
