So sad! Second Larry Kart, loved Doug´s style, too.
First appreciated him on those four fabulous recordings of the Chet Baker trio from 1979, three live in Copenhagens Montmartre jazz club, one studio date.
Just checked this out: All three men who then made such heavenly music passed away at 59: Chet, NHOP and Doug Raney!
Later I was fond of Raney´s leader sets, for instance "Back in New York" (also on Steeplechase) and his sideman work on Horace Parlan´s splendid "Love and Peace" with Bob Rockwell (on Storyville).
RIP, Doug Raney!.
