Suggestions from Jimmy Raney fans?

[RonD]

Hi gang.

Just bought Jimmy Raney's album, The Master.
Loving it!
I can't believe I haven't been listening to him!

Can anyone recommend other Raney albums.
I'd love to hear his whole discography, but financially... not gonna happen!

Cheers, Ron

Wisteria....and But Beautiful.

Jimmy was the best...the guitar world just hasn't realized it yet.

[RonD]

Thanks Jeff.

I have "Wisteria" CD....great Jimmy Raney with Tommy Flanagan and George Mraz.

Kris and Jeff,
I just bought Wisteria and am listening as we "speak".
WOW!!!!
Thanks so much!
btw... for anybody reading this who doesn't own the album, I got it for $6.93 Canadian, on iTunes! Awesome.

Cheers, Ron

Thanks jseaberry.
A buddy of mine also suggested "Live In Tokyo".

Gotta find now! I've instantly become an ardent Jimmy Raney fan!

I have not heard much of his playing...(my fault)...

but what I have heard I really liked...

another is Ed Bikert...

do any of you remember Mr Rogers Neighborhood ??

the music store man..Negri...another one that is often overlooked...

time on the instrument...

[RonD]

Ed has been my guitar idol for years.
I got to see him play live, dozens of times.

I live about 30 minutes from Louisville now. It's just too bad I didn't come here a lot sooner before Jimmy passed. The music shop I get my TI strings from was the guy that did Jimmy's setups and repair work. At last I found a guitar store that caters to jazz and not in a small way.

Here's a Jimmy Raney playlist I put together a while ago: Jimmy Raney

Mosaic released a set of the complete Stan Getz/Jimmy Raney recordings I. It's in my ipod. I really love it.

But Beautiful ... All the live stuff w/ Stan Getz. If you really want to treat yourself, save the price of a few CDs and spring for the playalong and transcriptions he put out for Jamey Aebersold.

I think you can benefit from listening to any of Jimmys' recordings. I probably have most of them plus a few others not listed here. Like many other great players, he started by learning a lot of Charley Parkers' solos. He was truly the "master of melody" evidenced by his never ending supply of good melodic content in his solos. His son, Doug Raney, is also an excellent guitarist and his albums reflect much of his fathers' influence.

First, thanks for all the suggestions. I shall be investigating all of them.
Second, for those who haven't seen it, forum member, voxss, just posted a thesis on Jimmy Raney that includes quite a few transcriptions!
GOLD!!!!
Thanks again!
Cheers, Ron

[RonD]

Sorry, the thesis is posted in the Jazzguitar.be Lessons section.
