Another gem from Ruby

"Lovely chamber jazz with Ruby on cornet and, on one take, piano with two acoustic guitars and a stand-up bass completing the unit. The sound quality of this live recording is excellent. I believe it was the first of many recordings Ruby made for the Arbors label. It's certainly one of the best. The music is warm, delicate, and enchanting. It will likely leave you with a soothing afterglow. Ruby Braff was a musician of extraordinary talent who was able to consistantly record musical works of the highest quality right up until the end of his life. File this one on the shelf with the later Arbors, earlier Concords, and Chiaroscuros."
