Miles Davis' drummer Jimmy Cobb has died of lung cancer at the age of 91. The musician was the last surviving member of late Jazz legend Davis' First Great Sextet and played on his iconic 1959 album, 'Kind of Blue', when he was just 30 years old.

NPR reported that Cobb's wife, Eleana Tee Cobb, confirmed that her spouse - whose full name was Wilbur James Cobb - sadly lost his battle with the disease on Sunday (24.05.20), and passed away at home in Manhattan.

As well as performing with Davis - who died of pneumonia, aged 65, in 1991 - Cobb played the drums for the likes of Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Pearl Bailey, Dizzy Gillespie and Sarah Vaughan, and many more.
