Taken from the same sessions as A First, this collaboration between veteran cornetist Ruby Braff and the relatively young tenor great Scott Hamilton lives up to its potential. With strong assistance from pianist John Bunch, guitarist Chris Flory, bassist Phil Flanigan and drummer Chuck Riggs, Braff and Hamilton are a perfect team on such joyful swing tunes as "A Sailboat in the Moonlight," "'Deed I Do," "Jeepers Creepers" and "Sweethearts on Parade." All eight selections (even the obscure "Milkman's Matinee") are well wotth hearing, making this a highly recommended set. ~ Scott Yanow  http://www.allmusic.com/album/a-sailboat-in-the-moonlight-mw0000649419

Personnel: Ruby Braff (cornet), Scott Hamilton (tenor saxophone), Chris Flory (guitar), Phil Flanigan (bass), Chuck Riggs (drums).

  2. Thank you Giullia G, I agree with Fourcades remarks about Ruby Braff being a great musician, he was also a very bad tempered person, I once read in a book about one musician who had a very snappy barking dog, and he called it Braff !
