Yes he's a master and isn't recognized to the place he should be in the history of jazz guitar in my opinion,mostly for the average jazz listener who knows essentialy nothing except Wes & Django,maybe a bit of Joe Pass or Charlie Cristian.
Raney is a strong personnality,very melodic,very fluid,very intelligent playing harmonically though he seems very orthodox and a straight bebop player,he's definetly not!You can recognize him at the first note!
Jimmy's music is a blessing !! : )
