Digitally remastered by Jon Bates (Downtown Sound & Mix Masters). In 1955 cornetist Ruby Braff and pianist Ellis Larkins recorded a well-received set of duets. In 1972 they had a reunion. Since Larkins is a superior ballad player and accompanist, the emphasis on this date is on slower numbers although Braff does provide some fiery moments. The ten duets include "Fine and Dandy," "Skylark," "If Dreams Come True," "Liza" and "Love Walked In." Twenty years later Braff and Larkins would get together again with equally successful results. ~ Scott Yanow

Recorded at Warp Studios, New York, New York on October 14, 1972.

Ruby Braff (cornet); Ellis Larkins (piano).
