Jimmy Cobb, the veteran jazz drummer whose body of work throughout his career included collaborations with Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, and more, has died at the age of 91 from lung cancer, NPR reports.

Cobb was famously part of the sextet that performed on Davis’ 1959 studio album, Kind of Blue, alongside Coltrane, Julian “Cannonball” Adderley, Bill Evans, and Paul Chambers.
