Jazz album review: Ruby Braff / George Barnes Quartet - To Fred Astaire With Love
RUBY BRAFF/ GEORGE BARNES QUARTET To Fred Astaire With Love ***** Jazz Lips JL765, £11.99
This superb CD comprises two joyous albums – the eponymous Astaire tribute and The Ruby Braff-George Barnes Quartet – recorded by the group which featured on Tony Bennett's Rodgers and Hart LP during the same period. The partnership between cornettist Ruby Braff and electric guitarist George Barnes was a great one, characterised by warmth, swing, lyricism and sheer joie de vivre. The 20 tracks are perfect examples of chamber jazz at its best.
