"Ruby Braff has done it again. With each successive CD for Arbors - and this is the thirteenth - the amazing cornetist has outdone himself, but just when a listener thinks it can't get any better, he climbs a bit close to perfection. And this aptly titled offering is a masterpiece." —Dan Morgenstern, Director of the Institute of Jazz Studies at Rutgers University.
