Jimmy Raney believed that jazz guitarists prove their mettle by how they handle a ballad. Watch the master himself at work ably assisted by Cal Collins (gtr), Tyrone Wheeler (b) and Bruce Morrow (d) at the Actors Theater, Louisville KY, 1987.
Jimmy Raney---the very best of melodic bebop jazz guitarists and truly a master of jazz guitar. He has alway been my favorite guitar player. This video as a treat for me.
Something in the water of the Ohio River around Cincinnati/ Louisville that seems to have produced more of it's share of world-class guitarists. While attending Grad School at U.C.,I spent many a night listening to Cal Collins at the Original Blue Wisp Jazz Club in Obriensville, a suburb of Cincinnati. It's a real treat to see and hear him again.
Simple andsweet like the "Summer Breeze" Tks for softening my audition. Luiz

Cal is the man, period. Best I've ever seen on any instrument, a true genius and a complete original.

Raney is amazing. Did you know that he had Meniere's Disease and was almost completely deaf (and also suffered terrible vertigo)
