In this episode – published on what would have been Jimmy Raney’s 93rd birthday – we focus on how Jon’s wonderfully insightful new The Jimmy Raney Book: A Complete Study of Melodic Line by Jimmy Raney and Jon Raney came to be, along with more candid family anecdotes. I think we’re definitely going to have to do a part 3. So stay tuned for that 🙂 And if you missed Part 1, you can listen to it here
In the meantime I also encourage you to check out Jon’s website/blog for more stories, information, audio clips and transcriptions at jonraney.com.
As always, I’d love to hear or read your feedback so don’t be shy! Enjoy 🙂
If you want to learn more about Jimmy Raney’s thought process in creating hip Jazz lines, then head on over to to pick up a copy of Jon’s latest book release.
