Doug Raney is a brilliant guitarist whose style is firmly rooted in the bebop and classic modern jazz traditions. He has lived in Copenhagen for more than 30 years, shortly after he first visited the Danish capital during a duo tour with his father and famous guitarst, Jimmy Raney.
Living in Denmark may have decreased his visibility to the American audience, but he has created a substantial body of thoughful, emotionally subtle, and powerful jazz and recorded for the Danish label Steeple Chase as well as the Japanese label Marshmallow Records.
His latest Marshmallow CD is a delight! From the opening track "Oblivion," the listner is captivated by his warm tone, impeccable technique, flowing sense of swing, and a perfect balance of lyricism and emotion. Veteran bassist -- and one of the best in Europe -- Jesper Lundgaard provides great support at the bottom end, while the younger Morten Lund adds much color to the proceedings with his delicate and brilliant drumming.
This is a wonderful guitar trio album. Strongly recommended for fans of the jazz guitar!

Doug Raney es un brillante guitarrista cuyo estilo está firmemente arraigado en las tradiciones del bebop y el jazz moderno clásico. Vive en Copenhague desde hace más de 30 años, desde que visitó por primera vez la capital danesa durante una gira a dúo con su padre y famoso guitarrista, Jimmy Raney.
Puede que el hecho de vivir en Dinamarca haya disminuido su visibilidad para el público estadounidense, pero ha creado un importante corpus de jazz reflexivo, emocionalmente sutil y poderoso, y ha grabado para el sello danés Steeple Chase y para el japonés Marshmallow Records.
Su último CD para Marshmallow es una delicia. Desde el primer tema, "Oblivion", el oyente queda cautivado por su tono cálido, su técnica impecable, su fluido sentido del swing y su perfecto equilibrio entre lirismo y emoción. El veterano bajista -y uno de los mejores de Europa- Jesper Lundgaard proporciona un gran apoyo en el extremo inferior, mientras que el más joven Morten Lund añade mucho color a las actuaciones con su delicada y brillante batería.
Este es un maravilloso álbum de trío de guitarras. Muy recomendable para los aficionados a la guitarra de jazz.
