From the same sessions that resulted in Me, Myself and I, the great cornetist Ruby Braff, who has always had a distinctive sound of his own, once again teams up with guitarist Howard Alden and bassist Jack Lesberg in a trio. Alden's versatility serves him well on a program that includes "Ol' Man River," and medleys of tunes associated with Charlie Chaplin and Judy Garland, "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face," and "Royal Garden Blues." Braff is heard at the top of his game throughout this enjoyable outing. ~ Scott Yanow http://www.allmusic.com/album/bravura-eloquence-mw0000308503

Personnel:  Ruby Braff – cornet;  Howard Alden – guitar;  Jack Lesberg – bass

A terrific homage to the hits of Benny Goodman beautifly recorded on the Timeless label. Recorded during the mid 80s in Germany. The clarinet is performed by Peanuts Hucko to great effect. Special treat are vocals by Hucko's wife Louise Tobin who was once married to Harry James and sung with Benny's big band in the 30's! 50 years later she sounds even more swell with a charming style similar to Mildred Bailey and a bit like Maria Muldaur. Wild! ~Bruce London
