Thank you! My friend Souren Baronian recorded a clarinet feature during this session, but it's still lying in the vault unreleased. Impulse really should reissue this one!
GREAT...............THANK YOU AND HAPPY NEW YEAR

Hey d3lta,
found your blog by coincidence. searching for some jimmy raney stuff i stumbled upon this http://jazzallthat.blogspot.com/2009/02/jimmy-raney-solo-1975-76.html
Can't find the links on the page though.
But it doesn't matter. I checked home of your blog, and here I am.
This record sounds really interesting, the surprise of the day. Downloading now on a slow connection, I will enjoy tonight :)
Thanks a lot. And congratulations on the great blog.
Great fun to hear this. When I was a kid bassist Chet Amsterdam lived down the block in Queens and I was friends with his daughter. They were famous in the neighborhood for their car, a tiny German Goggomobil, which was a weird choice for a bassist. They used to find the car moved onto the sidewalk pretty regularly.
Superb post Thank you
I am looking forward to listen to this record tonight enjoying the food of my Greek wife. Evaristo (Thank you for the side dish)!!
Very nice! Thanks
Bassist Chet Amsterdam lived down the street from me in Fresh Meadows in the 60s. I used to see him trundling his bass over the Long Island Expressway overpass to get the Q17A bus to the subway for a gig.
gracias !!
saludos cordiales
