Ruby Braff-George Barnes Quartet • Plays Gershwin

Review
by Scott Yanow
The Ruby Braff-George Barnes Quartet (comprised of cornetist Braff, Barnes and Wayne Wright on guitars and bassist Michael Moore) recorded five albums within a two-year period and all are well worth getting. For this live set from the 1974 Concord Jazz Festival, the group explores 11 Gershwin songs with consistent success. The melodic swing group (a perfect setting for Braff) is heard at its best on "'S Wonderful," "I Got Rhythm," "But Not for Me," "Love Walked In" and "They Can't Take That Away from Me."

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
El Ruby Braff-George Barnes Quartet (compuesto por el cornetista Braff, Barnes y Wayne Wright en las guitarras y el bajista Michael Moore) grabó cinco álbumes en un período de dos años y todos ellos merecen la pena ser adquiridos. En este set en vivo del Festival de Jazz de Concord de 1974, el grupo explora 11 canciones de Gershwin con un éxito constante. El grupo de swing melódico (un escenario perfecto para Braff) se escucha en su mejor momento en "'S Wonderful", "I Got Rhythm", "But Not for Me", "Love Walked In" y "They Can't Take That Away from Me".
