Jazz Guitar Life Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Jazz Guitar Life "sat down" with Jon Raney, the son of the great Jazz Guitarist Jimmy Raney and younger brother of the equally wonderful Jazz Guitarist Doug Raney. In this episode - published on what would have been Jimmy Raney's 93rd birthday (August 20, 1927) - we focus on how Jon's wonderfully insightful new The Jimmy Raney Book: A Complete Study of Melodic Line by Jimmy Raney and Jon Raney came to be, along with more candid family anecdotes. I think we're definitely going to have to do a part 3. So stay tuned for that :)

Andreas Varady is a young Jazz Guitarist in his mid 20's who has been on teh scene since the tender of age of 12 under the guidance of folks like Quincy Jones, George Benson and Martin Taylor to name but a few. I had the pleasure of interviewing Andreas when he was 14 and figured it was time to see what he was up to a decade or so later. Turns out he has a new album that was just released - Sunrise - and he's sounding and writing better than ever.

We had a great chat and he went into a lot of stuff about his early days and what he's been up to recently. Plus there are a few susprises that you may not know about Andreas. Oh...and be sure to stick around to the end of the podcast as Andreas offers up a tune from his latest release. I think you just might dig it!

And if you wanna check out the interview I did with Andreas years ago, please feel free to drop by Jazz Guitar Life and do an easy search for him.
