Ruby Braff
Ruby BraffReuben Braff, born 16 March 1927, Boston,  Massachusetts, USA. Although Braff did not make a notable  impact on the jazz scene until the mid-50s, he was already  an accomplished and experienced cornet player. He had worked  extensively in the Boston area from the late 40s, playing  with Russell, Pee Wee and Hall, Edmond, recording with the  latter in 1949. It was, however, Braff''s 1953 recordings  with Dickenson, Vic that drew the attention of jazz fans.  Between the boppers and the Revivalist movement lay the  mainstream jazzmen of which Braff was a singularly  attractive example. His lyrical and expressive style, shot  through with bursts of white-hot excitement, lent itself  especially well to ballads, and during the rest of the 50s,  he made several excellent records in distinguished company  such as Clayton, Buck, Powell, Mel , Freeman, Bud and  Goodman, Benny.
