Jimmy Cobb, legendary jazz drummer and member of Miles Davis' First Great Sextet, died Sunday at his Manhattan home of lung cancer, NPR reports. He was 91.

Cobb, who was with Davis' group for almost three decades, was best known for his work on Davis' landmark, "Kind of Blue," which many critics have called the best jazz album of all time.

He played on many other of Davis' albums - but Davis wasn't the only jazz icon Cobb worked with. Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, John Coltrane, Dizzy Gillespie, Pearl Baily and Nancy Wilson are among the dozens of others.
