DICK HYMAN (ORGAN) AND RUBY BRAFF (cornet) From their album: America the Beautiful. “I’ve Grown Accustomed to her Face.” (From My Fair Lady.) Click on music player below and then keep reading.
Ruby Braff was about 5 feet tall. He was from New York,City but he often played in Jersey, including the Monmouth County Library* (Eastern Branch) Sunday jazz series. He took up the cornet because a trumpet was too large for him.
According to Jack Livinsgtone of the Monmouth County Library, Braff was an unusual character. One time there was a Sunday blizzard, and Braff called and said “Are you crazy, I’m not coming to that #@&* place in Jersey.” But then he walked in later and said, “Where is everybody?”
Dick Hyman was the musical director for many of Woody’s movies, and we heard him and Art Topilow (a Jersey Shore pianist) perform live a few years back at the Axelrod Theater in Deal.

Eileen (r) and sister Hope. c. 1950’s. Eastern Parkway. Photo by Bernard Harkavy.
These days, when Hope visits us in Ocean Grove, people think they’re twins. Magically, they both are now blonds. The photographer, their Dad Bernie, served in WWII in Europe. He spent most of his life working in the Garment District in New York. He ran a showroom where he was into ladies sweaters.
About five years after this photo, the family moved to Dumont, New Jersey. Bernie took a bus at the corner into the Port Authority. Their cat Sasha would walk to the bus stop to wait for him at the end of each work day.—–PG
JESSICA MOLASKEY “Growing Pains” This 1951 song by Arthur Schwartz (music) and Dorothy Fields (lyrics) was recorded by Tony Bennett with the Count Basie Orchestra. Jessica’s version was made with the Pizzarelli clan backing her up. Her husband is guitarist/singer John Pizzarelli. (“I Like Jersey Best.”)
“One day your momma drops the hem of your skirt,
Next day you give up yelling, “What’s for desert?”;
You can’t explain it, but you’re one solid hurt,
Baby, you’ve got growin’ pains!”

No that is not Chairman Mao’s secretary. It is a wardrobe coincidence at Chesterwood sculpture garden in the Berkshires, Mass. Or maybe that’s the Girl Scout I took to the prom. Photo by Paul Goldfinger ©
