Wonderful. There's more feeling in Mingus' piano music than there is in the music of many musicians who are strictly pianists.

Agreed .... over the years I`ve learned to appreciate this Mingus recording even more ....

This 2 disc set was a nearly 2 1/2 hour delight!  Ruby Braff remains one of my all-time favorite musicians, and to me, he was one of those rarities who really, truly did indeed just get better with time.  These early-ish recordings find him still on trumpet and he is presented in a variety of settings.  My favorite album included here may be Ball at Bethlehem with Braff, recorded "live" before an invited audience at the Bethlehem Studios on New Year's Eve, 1954.
