Jimmy Raney - Momentum (1974 MPS) - vinyl

Cover lp

Review by Ken Dryden
This 1974 LP marked a comeback for Jimmy Raney, following his long layoff from the music business in order to make a full recovery from alcoholism. Accompanied by bassist Richard Davis and drummer Alan Dawson, the guitarist is in terrific form as he explores several standards, a bossa nova-flavored Nobody Else but Me, and a driving take of Just Friends. He composed the other two works heard on the date. His piece, 'Momentum, is a reworking of an earlier original he called Motion, both of which are obviously based upon the chord changes to You Stepped Out of a Dream. We'll Be Together is an original ballad (set to words he wrote earlier, according to liner-note writer Ira Gitler), though it sounds as if it was partially inspired by Autumn in New York; it also features a strong solo by Davis. Originally released on MPS and reissued by Pausa, this record has been unavailable for quite some time, but it can be found with a diligent search.

Not my rip.
Rip from a vinyl with excellent musical sound; it have some background clicks, but never obtrusive.

@256 mp3.

Tenía este disco, pero, de segunda mano, y con mal prensaje, su estado dejaba que desear. Siempre lo he admirado, la rítmica le añade mucho. Se lo pasé en CD audio a Kevin O'Neil, guitarrista de Braxton y admirador de Raney, y le entusiasmó.
Un gran disco. Gracias por recuperarlo
