Bol Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 I've been listening to a couple of Ruby Braff recordings with Sam Margolis on tenor. These are "Ruby Braff Special" (Vanguard) and "Swinging with Ruby Braff" (Jazztone). Margolis seems to have been a player much influenced by Lester Young, but much more upbeat -- without the eerie neuroses of Young. Does anyone know anything about Margolis and about what other recordings he played on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 He's on a number of Braff dates from 1954-82 (Storyville/Black Lion, Bethlehem, Verve, Chiaroscuro and Red Baron). He's on a George Wein date on Atlantic and a couple of dates with Nat Pierce (Zim and Keyynote). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Seems more like a Freeman than a Young player to me (with or without possible playing neuroses). Boston man, buddy of Braff and a good player! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazztrain Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 I think he's originally from Boston and probably went to NY with Ruby Braff. Chuck covered all of his recordings that I can think of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
