Tal Farlow really liked Cal Collins. I had some bootleg recording of Cal. When Tal asked me who I liked, I told him I liked this guy named Cal Collins. Tal liked him, had a lot of respect for him on and off the band stand.
Jimmy Raney swings so hard ... Whenever I venture off to explore other musicians playing I find myself drawn back to this man. Outstanding player, a genuine bebop legend.
In Paris France we have this radio station called FIP that offers lots of modern jazz tunes from Barney Kessel, Charlie Christian, Django Reinhart, George Benson and many others giving us that beautiful music. 👍
This is some really fantastic visual/audial documentation of Jimmy Raney's playing, especially being able to observe his left hand fingerings. A really great performance, and a wonderful opportunity to study Jimmy. His lines are flowing like butter melting on a hot summer day.
Super. Not enough people know of Cal Collins When I had the Jazz Experiment of WRTI-JAZZ90 1982-1988 on Saturday, then Friday evenings (pre-Fusion Friday), both were featured once per evening. Most radio programmers don't realize the connection between blues, rock, and jazz guitar--if you like one, you like them all (and if you can play one you at least 'try' to play them all) :-) RIP to two of the greatest! I really dig the contrapuntal lines preceding an during the final chorus!
Thanks for another awesome upload! Jimmy Raney is fantastic and had great ideas -- words fall short when I try to explain how exciting I find his playing. One of my absolute favourite players.
All these guys are incredible! Excellent rhythm section and on top these two virtuosos! I wish I had guitar teachers like them. There is so much we can learn from them. Thanks a lot for sharing! Love it! Cheers DimiZ
2 fantastic jazz guitar players....here right in front of you....and believe it or not....NOT many people have heard of these two greats...I have and I am glad to have met JIMMY RANEY in person...at Zinno's on 13th street in Greenwich Village,NY back in 1985.....it was a great gig...as this one is also here on youtube....Joe Nania a.k.a. Hollywood Joe hollywood joe . com
I think so. At this point (1987) and when I visited it (1985)I believe it was called the Actor's Theater. I guess they moved on to a bigger venue in Louisville.
Jon Raney This is from the downstairs bar at Actors Theatre of Louisville, called then simply "Downstairs at Actors." About once a month the Louisville Jazz Society hosted concerts there. The Jazz Factory (RIP) was 2003-2008, at a different location (9th & Main, for those who know Louisville).
mzkjr - Thank you, and I saw Raney at different "spots", in Louisville, in that time! I had memberships in the old Louisville Jazz Council, or "Society", in the early 1970s. Ken Shapero headed The Jazz Factory, until there was a time, that the Factory didn't receive enough support (esp. during weekdays) to keep it going. Ken and his wife (a former Louisville C-J reporter/columnist) retired to Seattle, a few years ago.
John B For several years after the Jazz Factory closed, the website was maintained with just a homepage. Dianne and Ken were kind enough to have me write the "obituary" for their wonderful club, in which I alluded to the New Orleans jazz funeral tradition; mournful to the grave, then joyous and second-lining after the mourners cut the body loose.
mzkjr - Thanks for a (belated) response! It's sure that ol' Looeyville will NOT see a jazz spot like this one, in the future, due-to certain realities ... of the economic sense, etc. The Jazz Factory was one of the best, jazz venues of recent times, esp. in this area. The latter, of course, was a homeplace of Helen Humes, Jonah Jones, Lionel Hampton and others.
They say great music is discovered more than created. I suspect that's what happened with Raney and also with Charlie Parker. Not that it was an accident exactly, (obviously much work went into it) but the musical discovery resulted from just trying for better playing and writing as opposed to a conscious effort to 'be different.' Thus ultimately the conversation is about musical ideas, more so than this or that particular instrument that one plays.
Very good point Jon. I think the best artists really have that union between striving for something they hear in their head but at the same time understanding that they are pushed towards that naturally if they are patient, analytical and a sensitive listener to themselves and others.
@@raneyjr Cool. I have one of the original issue myself from the first batch of Fenders Jimmy D'Aquisto supervised in Japan with the Schaller Humbucker. Always coveted one as D'Aquisto was a good friend and wanted some sense of his enduring presence around me. Saw a video of Doug after getting your note where it would appear he is playing one of those oval hole Hagstrom D'Aquistos, which Jimmy was just putting the finishing touches on when I first met him in the early 70s. Been doing a deeper dive into Jimmy Raney of late....was quite taken my his STRINGS AND SWINGS, as I cut my teeth on Bartok. Discovered MOMENTUM with Richard Davis and Alan Dawson a while ago. I have the Getz ensemble CDs from the box on Mosaic. So much music, so little time. I only met Jimmy once, oddly enough, at Jack Wilkins' crib when he was still downtown in the Village. I had brought him by a Gibson Chet Atkins Nylon String Solid Body he was curious about, that I had received along with a 30th Anniversary Les Paul, as compensation for rescustating the bad ad copy Gibson's then head of marketing had gotten from their ad agency. Like, 1982 or therearouts. Jimmy eyed the Chet, and dryly observed, "The worst of both possible worlds." He was right by the way. The Chet is long gone. Still have the Les Paul. Nice to hear from you. Quite a resplendent blood line you come from, Jon. Looking forward to checking out your own music. Best to you and your family.
@@raneyjr Can you believe after 10 years of posting RUclips videos, people are still discovering or continuing to appreciate your fathers work? His music conviced me I wanted to learn to play jazz (it may have actually been this video)...I'm still working on it :) What a gem. Your brother was a true imspiration as well, albeit less discussed in the US. Thank you for this.
Jon, I remember when the norm was red meat, cigs and Bourbon, The Greatest Generation, also many of the rockers of the 60's 70's did the cig on the string end at the neck, many thanks,
Cal is my grandfather. So much good going on in this video.
Man! he s one of the greatest ever lived!
He played with great phrasing varieties. he was on Fire!
He's one of the greats! Do you play?
Tal Farlow really liked Cal Collins. I had some bootleg recording of Cal. When Tal asked me who I liked, I told him I liked this guy named Cal Collins. Tal liked him, had a lot of respect for him on and off the band stand.
a great musician and hearing him again brings back many good memories.
Love this
Jimmy is my all-time favorite jazz guitarist
no argument from me, Dom 😄
When people really understands music, he will be favourite of millions

Yeah! I could listen to Jimmy play forever.
Jimmy Raney should be a household name -- A true master.
Amen to that !
there's only a chosen few that deserve to hear him
This is some really fantastic visual/audial documentation of Jimmy Raney's playing, especially being able to observe his left hand fingerings. A really great performance, and a wonderful opportunity to study Jimmy. His lines are flowing like butter melting on a hot summer day.
Truly brilliant playing by everyone throughout !!

Super playing by all! Thanks!
Amazing creativity.
GREAT RYTHM SECTION!!!
Beautiful... splendid lines...so wholesome ❤❤❤
Extremely strong playing by Rainey. Impressive that he can play that well at that age.
Cal Collins sounds good as well.
Amigo, haven't you noticed the older they get, the more outrageos and outstanding their playing gets?:)
he’s 60 here, not like 80
Thanks for another awesome upload! Jimmy Raney is fantastic and had great ideas -- words fall short when I try to explain how exciting I find his playing. One of my absolute favourite players.

Jon Raney - Is this video from the (now-defunct) Jazz Factory, in Louisville? I recognize the backdrop.
I think so. At this point (1987) and when I visited it (1985)I believe it was called the Actor's Theater. I guess they moved on to a bigger venue in Louisville.

Is it Bill Evans in the foreground in the public?
clearly not possible
great
Inventiveness!
Damn, Jimmy rainey is straight gangsta

Swangin'!
at 8:10 JIMMY RANEY seems not themselves feel good until the time the solo bass.
Is Jimmy playing one of those Fender D'Aquisto Elites?
Yes. Jimmy gave it do Dad. I still have it
@@raneyjr Cool. I have one of the original issue myself from the first batch of Fenders Jimmy D'Aquisto supervised in Japan with the Schaller Humbucker. Always coveted one as D'Aquisto was a good friend and wanted some sense of his enduring presence around me.

@@mahamudra8150 I can believe it for sure!
Did Cal often take a smoke break during tunes?
In another part of the taped part of the session, Cal jokes about his and Dad's addiction to nicotine. So yes, "often" is an understatement...
Jon, I remember when the norm was red meat, cigs and Bourbon, The Greatest Generation, also many of the rockers of the 60's 70's did the cig on the string end at the neck, many thanks,
What does it look like ?!
Anyone know the make and model of guitar that Jimmy is playing here? is it a Fender????
It appears to be one of the Fender Jimmy D"Aquisto models. Great playing by all, Thanks Jon for uploading.
Bebop. So difficult on guitar. Lovely bass solo.
que delicia
He almost produces a keyboard tone 🤣? Both guitarist attack with precision.....
Great!
