About the artist
Ruby Braff
Ruby Braff: The Unsung Jazz Virtuoso If you were to ask the casual jazz listener about legendary trumpeters, names like Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, or Chet Baker would likely roll off the tongue. But what about Ruby Braff? This unsung virtuoso deserves a spotlight in the jazz hall of fame, with a career spanning over five decades and a unique style that effortlessly blends traditional jazz with modern innovation. Born in Boston in 1927, Braff first made a name for himself in the 1950s playing alongside jazz giants like Benny Goodman and George Wein. His smooth, lyrical trumpet playing quickly earned him a reputation as one of the finest soloists in the genre, with a tone that could make even the most hardened jazz critic swoon. But what truly sets Ruby Braff apart is his ability to infuse every note with a sense of joy and playfulness that is infectious. Whether he's tackling a swinging standard or breezing through a delicate ballad, Braff's music exudes a warmth and charm that is impossible to resist. Despite his undeniable talent and critical acclaim, Braff has often been overshadowed by his more famous contemporaries. But make no mistake, this is a musician who deserves to be in the pantheon of jazz greats. So next time you're in the mood for some smooth, soulful jazz, don't forget to give Ruby Braff a listen. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
