Review by Ken Dryden
The quartet featured in this 1996 recording session for Steeplechase was put together on the spot in New York, just for this date, though Doug Raney and his rhythm section quickly made themselves sound as if they were a regular working group. Raney's approach to the guitar is often spacious on ballads, never too busy on up-tempo numbers, and always focused around the melody. Accompanied by pianist Michael Weiss, bassist Scott Colley, and drummer Kenny Washington, the quartet's head arrangements of the seven standards on the CD seem to come together effortlessly. The intimate approach to "Skylark" starts slowly, but gives way to a brisk, more complex development of its theme. The rhythm section swirls behind Raney in a driving rendition of "All or Nothing at All," and also features a fine solo by Weiss. Of particular interest is Raney's careful development of "I'm Old Fashioned." Highly recommended.

Reseña de Ken Dryden
El cuarteto que aparece en esta sesión de grabación de 1996 para Steeplechase se formó sobre la marcha en Nueva York, sólo para esta fecha, aunque Doug Raney y su sección rítmica rápidamente se hicieron oír como si fueran un grupo de trabajo habitual. El enfoque de Raney a la guitarra es a menudo espacioso en las baladas, nunca demasiado ocupado en los números up-tempo, y siempre centrado en torno a la melodía. Acompañado por el pianista Michael Weiss, el bajista Scott Colley y el baterista Kenny Washington, los arreglos de cabeza del cuarteto de los siete estándares del CD parecen unirse sin esfuerzo. El enfoque íntimo de "Skylark" comienza lentamente, pero da paso a un desarrollo rápido y más complejo de su tema. La sección rítmica se arremolina detrás de Raney en una interpretación de "All or Nothing at All", y también cuenta con un buen solo de Weiss. De particular interés es el cuidadoso desarrollo de Raney de "I'm Old Fashioned". Muy recomendable.
