Stolen Moments

AMG Review of Stolen Moments

All Music Guide

Other than one number on a Jimmy Raney album from 1975, this set was the first joint recording by Jimmy and his son Doug Raney. The two similar-sounding guitarists team up with bassist Michael Moore and drummer Billy Hart on five standards (including "Chelsea Bridge," "Stolen Moments" and "Alone Together") and a couple of Jimmy's originals. The guitarists blend together quite well, and often one does not know who is soloing; the results should delight fans of cool-toned modern mainstream guitar.
