Search - Jimmy Raney :: At Bradleys 1974

From 1967 to 1974, the Great Guitarist Jimmy Raney (1927-1995) Went Into Semi-retirement in Louisville, and Didn?t Make a Single Trip to the Recording Studios. Whether this was Due to Personal Problems (Like his Growing Alcohol Addiction) Or to the Lack of Interest by the Major Recording Companies, his Discography Presents a Notable Gap of Almost Ten Years, which is Only Represented by a Couple of Live Recordings. Recorded with Amateur Equipment on December 17 and 18, 1974 at New York?s Famous Bradley?s Club, the Concerts on this CD Occurred Just after Raney?s Comeback. Like Many Other Great Jazzmen, Jimmy Raney Had a Unique Musical Sound, which Encompassed Both Modern and Traditional Styles. These Recordings at Bradley?s ? Issued Here for the First Time Ever ? Give More Than Ample Proof of Raney?s Exceptional Creativity, featuring the Guitarist as the Only Solo Voice, Backed by Another Guitar and Bass, and with the Omnipresent Murmur of an Enthusiastic Crowd.
