Since his days at Curtis, Mr. Cobb has enjoyed touring and performing in Japan, Central America and Europe, as well as in the U.S. He also toured as solo trumpet with the Israel Camerata of Jerusalem, where he was praised for his “beauty of tone” by the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. In New York Mr. Cobb is regularly active with such organizations as the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, Orchestra of St. Lukes, New York Philharmonic, and the New York City Ballet.

He also performs with New York Big Brass and in Broadway shows, and can frequently be heard in radio and television commercials.
