"A"
with Bob Brookmeyer
In Paris, 1 and 2 (must haves)
Wisteria (my absolute fave!)
Raney '81 (with Doug)
The Master
Strings Attached (w/Al Haig, I think this just got reissued under a different title, it opens with "freedom jazz dance")

Jimmy's also on this great Ted Brown record called "In Good Company"

Those are my faves, at least...

"Jimmy Raney In Three Attitudes". There isn't a CD of this but you can get it through ITunes:

In Three Attitudes by Jimmy Raney - Download In Three Attitudes on iTunes

+1 to all of Mr. B's recommendations. "Paris Vol 1", "Brookmeyer" and "A" I have on CD.

A great CD as part of the "Red Norvo Trio":

Amazon.com: Trios: Red Norvo, Jimmy Raney, Red Mitchell: Music

Tracks 1-15 is Jimmy, 16-19 is Tal Farlow.

I've been getting some good mileage out of this one recently:

Amazon.com: Complete Recordings 1954-1956 (Dig): Jimmy Quintet Raney: Music

Thanks guys. For some reason it seems like you don't hear as much about Raney as some of the other cats, but man what a monster player! This is really kind of an introduction for me. Thanks for all the reccomendations.
