Me Myself & I
"OUT OF PRINT CD" Album Notes:Ruby Braff Trio: Ruby Braff (cornet); Howard Alden (guitar); Jack Lesberg (bass).Recorded at Penny Lane Studios, New York, New York in June 1988. Includes liner notes by Ron Della Chiesa.Although often overlooked in popularity polls, cornetist Ruby Braff during the 1980s and '90s recorded many classics and near-classics. For this trio set with guitarist Howard Alden and bassist Jack Lesberg, Braff's repertoire ranges from the dixieland tunes "Muskrat Ramble" and "When You're Smiling" to superior popular numbers such as "You've Changed," "When I Fall in Love" and "You're a Lucky Guy." As usual he brings an individual sound, swing, melodic creativity and passion to each of his improvisations. ~ Scott Yanow
