Doug Raney was 22 years old when this highly acclaimed debut leader album was recorded in Copenhagen with veteran Duke Jordan on piano, Danish Hugo Rasmussen (bass) and the one and only Billy Hart on drums

During his relatively short life (1956 - 2016) Doug followed his legendary guitarist father Jimmy Raney’s footsteps but established himself as a defnitely unique artist on his own at the early stage of his life. He called Denmark his home and resided in Copenhagen until his untimely death at the age of 59.“That talent, in some cases, can be transmitted intact from father to son is a proposition that Introducing Doug Raney seems to prove...a lovely album.” - Larry Kart, Chicago Tribune

“What a dashing, gallant debut! ...Young Raney is blessed with extraordinary talent. Highly recommended.” - Yoshio Maki, Swing Journal

“Doug Raney possède une très belle technique, une musicalité suprême, un goût exquis, une extraorinaire intuition harmonique.” - Maurice Cullaz, Jazz Hot
