RANEY JIMMY - VINYL VISITS PARIS -COLOURED- [VINYL]

Popis - VISITS PARIS -COLOURED- [VINYL]:
By the time Jimmy Raney recorded the ultra-cool 'Visits Paris', in the mid '50s, he was already at the peak of his career. The album finds Raney on a (very) brief break from touring France, taking the opportunity to cut an album with some local musicians and putting himself very much in the foreground after having been a sideman on previous projects. He spins through a variety of songs, from his solo composition 'Tres Chouette' to standards such as 'Night And Day' and 'Love For Sale' with his trademark smooth guitar style. The French band is very much up to the challenge, and the album's bubbling energy on songs like 'Too Marvelous For Words' is positively infectious. Long a sought-after jazz classic, 'Visits Paris' is finally available again and pressed onto red vinyl with lovingly-restored artwork.
