5.0 out of 5 stars Jazz Guitar the Way I Like It
Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2003

A number of years ago I heard a Jimmy Raney recording playing as background music in a store and felt that this was the perfect expression of jazz guitar. The trouble was I didn't know who it was or have any way to find out. Then I bought this CD and my quest had ended, it was unmistakably the same artist.

There is some great chord work here, tasteful and refined but never boring. The solos are inventive and melodic. Because it is a trio setting with guitar, bass and drums there is plenty of room for everyone on the recording to stretch out. For those not familiar with Jimmy Rainey's style I would submit the suggestion that he is somewhat like Jim Hall though perhaps somewhat more energetic in presentation.

Jimmy Raney's playing is so tasteful, sensitive and warm that it can't be beat. I would write more but I think that I will pawn my computer and buy more Jimmy Raney CDs with the proceeds.

4.0 out of 5 stars Raney last recording. This has a very nice sound/easy feel
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 1999
This is Raney's last recording and he sounds so good. The lines just flow. While there are no "major riffs" here the music just moves along, with the swinging being very easy. The Way You Look Tonight is very good. Nothing really special, just another fine Raney record.

5.0 out of 5 stars a great album
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2008
Of the CDs available of Jimmy Raney, this is my favorite. His trio really swings, and he fills the sound with his trademark rapid arpeggios. The song Indian Summer is very sweet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Le testament d'un grand artiste
Reviewed in France on February 10, 2015
Verified Purchase
Un enregistrement calme, doux, avec toute la sensibilité et la noblesse qui charactérisent Jimmy Raney. Dévoué de spectacle, on entend ces phrases fluides et géniales d'un artiste en pleine maturité. Le trio avec basse et batterie est une formule qui donne aux musiciens beaucoup d'espace pour s'exprimer tout en gardant une musique complète. C'est comme Jimmy est assis dans un fauteuil à côté de vous et prend son temps pour vous raconter personellement son histoire raffinée (enregistrement studio). Cet album ne cherche pas la popularité qui est plus facile avec un grand nombre de talents réunis, ou avec des performances 'live' pleines d'energie (comme Live in Tokyo). L'héritage plein de trésors d'un guitariste sous-estimé.

4.0 out of 5 stars 優れた名品でした。
Reviewed in Japan on June 13, 2013

永年のJimmy Raneyファンですが、これは聞いてなかった。もっと早く買っておけば良かった。録音も良いので、ピッキングのニュアンスもよくわかります。パチンと強いピッキングに自分の背筋も伸ばされる思いです。本当に心地良い。又どの曲も何気に始まって終わってますが、どう理解してどう構成しようと思っているのか解ったような気がします。特にLong ago…がツーテイク入ってましたが、その辺が興味深く聞けました。本当に一時代築いた名手にふさわしい晩年の名品だと思います。
