In 1955 cornetist
Ruby Braff and pianist
Ellis Larkins recorded a well-received set of duets. In 1972 they had a reunion. Since
Larkins is a superior ballad player and accompanist, the emphasis on this date is on slower numbers although
Braff does provide some fiery moments. The ten duets include "Fine and Dandy," "Skylark," "If Dreams Come True," "Liza" and "Love Walked In." Twenty years later
Braff and
Larkins would get together again with equally successful results. ~ Scott Yanow
