JOE MONGELLI TRIO: TRIBUTE TO RUBY BRAFF

Ruby Braff, one of Cape Cod’s own, was world-renowned as a later-day proponent of the style pioneered by Louis Armstrong and Bix Beiderbecke. In the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s, when others were forging ahead with bebop, cool, fusion and hard-bop styles, Braff held true to his identity believing in himself and his audience’s preference for Armstrong-like improvisation on Great American Songbook standards. His legendary, lyrical and easy style is unforgettable. This concert pays homage to Braff by recreating some of his most iconic recordings.
