They're not kidding about the title – because the album's one of Ruby Braff's most swingin from the time – a sharp-edged quartet session that's filled with well-blown notes! Ruby's in the lead on all numbers on trumpet – getting support from JohnnyGuarnieri on piano, Walter Page on bass, and Bobby Donaldson on drums – and the sound is a bit more rough than some of Braff's other albums of the time – not so sweetly-trilling, and we mean that in a good way! The vibe is still slightly traddish, but with a really nice edge – and titles include "Ellie", "Mean To Me", "This Can't Be Love", and "Blue & Sentimental". LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear, yellowing from age, and a small smudge in back.)
Three different sessions – one from 1944 with Count Basie on piano, another from 1949 with Junior Mance at the keys and Jessie Drake on trumpet, and one more from 1948 with JohnnyGuarnieri on piano. LP, Vinyl record album
Some interesting moments here – including harpsichord by JohnnyGuarnieri, trumpet from Roy Eldridge, guitar from Barney Kessel, and piano from Dodo Marmarosoa! LP, Vinyl record album
