Jazz Cool
Recorded: Apr 19, 1979
Billy Hart (drums) Michael Moore (bass) Doug Raney (guitar) Jimmy Raney (guitar)
Other than one number on a Jimmy Raney album from 1975, this set was the first joint recording by Jimmy and his son Doug Raney. The two similar-sounding guitarists team up with bassist Michael Moore and drummer Billy Hart on five standards (including "Chelsea Bridge," "Stolen Moments" and "Alone Together") and a couple of Jimmy's originals. The guitarists blend together quite well, and often one does not know who is soloing; the results should delight fans of cool-toned modern mainstream guitar. ---Scott Yanow, allmusic
This is Jimmy and Doug's highly successful debut recording together, "...impeccable selection of tunes, sidemen, performances . ...A faultless album ..." (Takashi Kubota, Swing Journal January 1980) |
