Ruby's Heritage Is Unbeatable

"If there already weren't a CD on another label called "The Best of Braff," that could be the title of this release. For cornetist Braff's entry in Concord's Jazz Heritage Series, producers have chosen a dozen of Braff's best from his long career with the label. You'll hear him with saxophonist Scott Hamilton; pianists Dave McKenna, Roger Kellaway, John Bunch and Dick Hyman; guitarists George Barnes and Howard Alden, and other great musicians as they provide just under an hour of fine music. If you can't buy all of Braff's Concord CDs, this will give you a pleasant taste of his abilities."
