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.
