Ruby, My Dear" is a jazz ballad composed by Thelonious Monk. The tune was named after Rubie Richardson, Monk's first love and his older sister Marion's best friend. It was first recorded at a 1947 session for Blue Note Records. Monk recorded "Ruby My Dear" several times, including solo piano performances in 1959 and 1965, as well as versions with saxophonists Coleman Hawkins and John Coltrane (at New York's Five Spot Jazz Cafe in the summer of 1957).
Richard Galliano's huge admiration for his hero Astor Piazzolla doesn't at all identify the music with Tango or Argentina, or simply continue Piazzolla's music in the way it has been continued by Bandoneon players or accordionists (including at times Galliano) to great effect. It confirms Piazzolla's achievement qua instrumentalist in having extended in depth the expressive powers of not only his own bandoneon but also accordion - and in not merely his own music. Monk on Accordion? "Ruby, My Dear" demanded a bass line beyond even M. Galliano's splendid, slightly frightening buttons and bow-front bellows, and there very precisely is Larry Grenadier. There is a moment when the hairs on the neck rise, when the accordion's breadth of scope raises harmonic relationships new even in Monk.

The Ruby, My Dear sessions find Galliano in New York, interacting with bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Clarence Penn. While the intriguing repertoire includes a tango, a couple of jazz standards ("Ruby, My Dear" and Oscar Pettiford 's "Bohemia After Dark"), and a piece by Erik Satie, Galliano 's five originals really showcase his playing the best, letting him stretch out over intriguing chord changes.
