Ruby Braff

Boston, Massachusetts

Ruby Braff (March 16, 1927 – February 9, 2003) was an American jazz trumpeter and cornetist.
Braff was renowned for working in an idiom ultimately derived from the playing of Louis Armstrong and Bix Beiderbecke. His musical voice, though, was always very much his own.
He began playing in local clubs of Boston and relocated to New York 1953 where he was much in demand for band dates and recordings.
