"This recording brings you Ruby Braff's final performance, a wonderful concert at the Nairn Jazz Festival on August 7, 2002. You can hear every note (except for the incompletely recorded final tune) and experience the joy of sitting in a front row seat. This recording lets you hear Ruby performing at the top of his game, joined with wonderful musicians who allow him to reach the heights he always strived to attain. ...Ruby wanted to be remembered for his music. Performance was his passion. It is fitting that this final recording proves that he never reduced his standards and always gave his all to pleasing his audiences. "A number of writers labeled him a traditional jazz musician. They were wrong, and those words would have brought a testy response from Ruby. He was a consummate artist who loved to play nice tunes and create beauty for those who listened. He would argue that taste and good music should not be restricted by the word 'traditional.' Don't you agree?" Thomas P. Hustad, Professor of Marketing in the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University. He is the author of forthcoming book about Ruby Braff to be published by Scarecrow Press titled Born to Play: The Ruby Braff Discography and Directory of Performances

One of the great swingDixieland cornetists, Ruby Braff went through long periods of his career unable to find work because his music was considered out-of-fashion, but his fortunes improved by the 1970s. A very expressive player who in later years liked to build his solos up to a low note, Braff's playing was instantly recognizable within seconds.
Braff mostly worked around Boston in the late '40s. He teamed up with Pee Wee Russell when the clarinetist was making a comeback (they recorded live for Savoy), and after moving to New York in 1953, he fit easily into a variety of Dixieland and mainstream settings. Braff recorded for Vanguard as a leader, and with Vic Dickenson, Buck Clayton, and Urbie Green. He was one of the stars of Buck Clayton's Columbia jam sessions, and in the mid-'50s worked with Benny Goodman. But, despite good reviews and occasional recordings, work was hard for Braff to come by at times. In the 1960s, he was able to get jobs by being with George Wein's Newport All-Stars and at jazz festivals, but it was not until the cornetist formed a quartet with guitarist George Barnes, in 1973, that he became more secure. Afterward, Braff was heard in many small-group settings, including duets with Dick Hyman and Ellis Larkins (he had first met up with the latter in the 1950s), quintets with Scott Hamilton, and matching wits with Howard Alden. He remained one of the greats of mainstream jazz until his death in 2003.
