This third volume featuring
Ralph Sutton's quartet with cornetist
Ruby Braff is yet another masterful swinging evening. The date includes infrequently played songs like "I Believe in Miracles" and "It's Wonderful," along with favorites like "I've Found a New Baby" and "Sweethearts on Parade." Although the venue, Sunnie's Rendezvous, belonged to the Suttons (they have long since sold it), the piano's tuning is less than perfect; but
Sutton is in a league with
Art Tatum in achieving great results with a mediocre instrument. Braff is also at the top of his game, as are bassist
Milt Hinton and drummer Mousey Alexander. ~ Ken Dryden
