(Dixieland, New Orleans Jazz, Swing) Ruby Braff (with George Barnes, Ed Bickert, Dick Hyman, Ellis Larkins, Hank Jones, Buddy Tate, Red Norvo) - Collection, 22 Albums - 1954-2000, MP3, 320 kbps

Reuben "Ruby" Braff
Born: Mar 16, 1927 in Boston, MA
Died: Feb 9, 2003 in Chatham, MA
Трубач, корнетист, один из блестящих солистов традиционного джаза (диксиленд, свинг). Девяностолетний Юби Блэйк, услышав в одном из клубов Нью-Йорка игру Браффа, сказал ему: "То, что ты играешь, — лучшее из того, что я слышал за все семьдесят лет своей карьеры".
В восемь лет начал осваивать трубу, юношей дебютировал в оркестрах Пи Ви Рассела, Бада Фримена, Урби Грина и Эдмонда Холла. В 1955 журнал Down Beat назвал его "новой звездой". К этому времени Брафф записывался с пианистом Чарльзом Томпсоном, Баком Клэйтоном или со своим ансамблем. Однако предпочитал не связывать себя с постоянным коллективом, чаще входил в разные сборные бэнды, такие как Ансамбль звезд Ньюпортского фестиваля. В 1965–69 работал в Англии, в 1971–73 сопровождал Тони Беннета. В 1973–75 возглавил квартет, добившийся огромной популярности. После 1976 вновь предпочел жизнь свободного художника, записывался с Баки Пиццарелли, Виком Диккенсоном, Диком Хайменом и другими. Еще в 1967 перешел на корнет, полагая, что звук этого инструмента точнее символизирует яркую и радостную эпоху свинга.
