Jon even last night i shared few videos of your great brother Doug raney to my guitarist friend .Doug was a genius underrated .You knpw why because he was a purist/straight-ahead bebopper and the industry is still targetting fusionist type of jazz guitarist etc...Your dad is still the goat #2 of course right after Wes
In 1995 I invited Doug Raney for week-workshop to my hometown Bremerhaven. I played two concerts with him…and he was the sweetest person You can imagine! I had a wonderful week with him and just two students. This I will never forget. More than 20 years later I found his old mailadress among some papers and I wrote to him. To my biggest surprise he answered after two weeks. I asked him whether he would like to play again…I sent him traintickets and booked three concerts. But he didn‘t show off. After weeks he wrote, that he had an accident and broke his hip. Some years later I read about his passing. He always will be one of my alltime favourite players. May he rest in Peace! Thank You for this video!
My favorite guitarist for years. I was a bit demotivated because, although I enjoy playing the guitar, I often prefer the sound of other instruments. But after hearing him play, it was like, "This is how I want to sound." It completely motivated me again.
Doug Raney played in the tradition of his father Jimmy. Two great improvisers. I saw them perform together in the Netherlands in the early eighties. During their tour I was taught by Jimmy Raney at Gerry Teekens' house, the record boss of Criss Cross Jazz Records. Doug died too young. I still listen to his records regularly. They are lessons in improvisation.
Great video, well explained. Doug had such great lines and classic jazz language. I worked out lots of his solo's and it really helped my understanding of jazz guitar.
Thanks for doing this. Doug Raney’s comping was great too. Check out the trumpet guitar bass trio recordings on Steeplechase with Chet Baker. Thanks to you Chase, and also to Jon Raney for his contributions to jazz, both for his playing and for the ongoing celebration of the gift of his family’s music!
C'mon man, never heard of Doug Raney and his dad Jim Raney? Been listening to them for years, I have all of Doug's CDs and most of his dad's. One that was recently released is Doug Raney Trio which was recorded in Japan back in 1990; it's phenomenal. My personal favorite of his is Raney '96. He just kills on Giant Steps. He is definitely in my top 10 favorites and influences which include players like Mark Elf, Linc Chamberland, Pat & Wes. Funny that when I was in high school in New York back in the early 70's, Jimmy Raney's photo is in my school year book from a school trip to a concert he held at that time. I was just beginning to learn to play but didn't appreciate it back then; learning to play rock like most kids. There's a lot of great recordings Doug did with Chet Baker as well. He sounds very much like his dad with a touch of Pat Martino and his own stuff. You have great chops yourself.
Doug and Jimmy are both great, Doug definitely took huge influence from his dad but added more modern sounds where i feel jimmy stayed in swing/bop language. I feel like Jimmy may be the most purely swing/bop guitarist with more sax like lines than other guitarists
It is a surprise to read this. I thought that both Doug and Rene Thomas were heavily influenced by Jimmy. I didn’t know Doug was influenced by Rene Thomas 😊
@@enricopg2 i think it was the hard bop side of rene that appealed to doug. also some similarities in lifestyle. jon r. will know much more about this.
I actually prefer Doug to his father. My favorite recordings of his is called Back in New York, it's mainly ballads , check in out if you haven't heard it.
Hey Chase, thanks for talking about Doug Raney. I have always loved his (and his father’s) sound, and always wondered why he was so underrated. I hope to see some more stuff about him. There is a lot to steal from him. Have you heard the CD that he recorded with Chet Baker?
Doug was a giant - unfortunately he died too early. But his father Jimmy was actually among the greats of bop and post-bop guitar and should always be mentioned with Kessel, Burrell, Wes & Co. Unfortunately, he is not featured often enough.
Hey Chase, great job. Thanks for bringing my brother to your listener's attention. So happy that Doug is finally getting his due!
Hey Jon! Thanks for your comment and watching. Happy to do what I can to bring attention to his great work 🙏
I love Doug Raney's stuff! Amazing musician.
@@TremorBear No argument from me 🙂

Chase ther is a wonderful jazz guitarist you should talk about the great Norman Brown
Huge Doug Raney fan here. He’s actually been my fav for years. Love his tone and phrasing. Good job for highlighting him!👍🎸
Me too! Thanks for watching!
His work with Chet Baker is brilliant, especially his comping.
Thanks for covering Doug Raney:) What an amazing talent.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for sharing this story! 🤘
Plaid?
@@stupid28273 I corrected…
Clint Strong is another great unheard of jazz guitarist.
@@ejtonefan Clint is a beast!
Real!
Him and his Dad, and brother my fav!

Doug's take on Mr. P.C is by far my favorite one.
Definitely not enough people talking about this cat, thanks for this!!!!

Great lick ideas, thank you🙏
Thanks for watching! 👍
Superb again Chase 👌
Glad you enjoyed!
Doug was the first guy who made me understand the point of soloing over bebop!

I didn't say I had never heard of him...but many people have not heard of either of them.

Interesting way to think about it. Maybe I'll do a comparison of their styles at some point in the future.
good stuff. doug was heavily influenced by rene thomas, who in turn started as a jimmy raney clone. so doug took somewhat of a detour.
As his son, Doug was about as close to a Jimmy Raney clone as one could get!

Doug Raney is a great guitarist like his father jimmy a lot of very good albums and some with only two guitars
Absolutely! Thanks for watching.
I actually prefer Doug to his father. My favorite recordings of his is called Back in New York, it's mainly ballads , check in out if you haven't heard it.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Man His dad was a mixed Wes+Martino
@@Blackjawreen This is kinda backwards. He came way before them and Wes cited him as influence
