Voxss - My GOODNESS! What a huge amount of work went into this. Jimmy would probably find stuff out about his playing that even HE didn't realize..lol. The main site has all kinds of Raney stuff too. Thanks for the post Voxss. Great Stuff! Rich

[JimBobWay]

A great site featuring a fine player, very tasteful & always swingin'.

[clebergf]

Very nice.
This is a nice way to know better a player.
I have one from Freedie Green and it is very useful to me.

Holly Molly! WOW! This is one of the greatest insight into the jazz language I have read. Thank you.

[Rob MacKillop]

If I were twenty years old, and not sixty, I would get all of Raney's recordings, and study this thesis in micro detail. But I'm not, so I won't. But I'm glad it's there. We need more of this stuff.

I believe Glen Hodges teaches at the University of Tasmania

[JimBobWay]

Jimmy was a force of nature, but unlike his friend Cal Collins he never got the exposure - I count myself as fortune to have met both and enjoyed their good natured personalities, which are so evident in their music, in person. Thanks for sharing this! Well done.
