I prefer Frank Motley at two, but hell, show bizness and all that.

I have to be in the right mood to listen to their stuff, but this bright, beautiful morning I was in that mood.  I really liked their adaptation of "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik"

A fine disc. I had all this on a couple of lps.

[duaneiac]

This 2 disc set was a nearly 2 1/2 hour delight!  Ruby Braff remains one of my all-time favorite musicians, and to me, he was one of those rarities who really, truly did indeed just get better with time.  These early-ish recordings find him still on trumpet and he is presented in a variety of settings.  My favorite album included here may be Ball at Bethlehem with Braff, recorded "live" before an invited audience at the Bethlehem Studios on New Year's Eve, 1954.

I've found the other material from this session to be more stimulating, sometimes very much so. I'd love to have insight into what drove the original selection process.

But yeah, Desmond.

For me just to the contrary - the "Live" tracks are more on the extroverted side, whereas the "Paul Desmond" material strikes me as being sublime .... different strokes I guess but great to have the material available anyway ....

[JSngry]

yeah, I'll take it all.

Forgot about this additional material

so definitely a reason to give it a spin ....
