Doug Raney
Electric Guitar Solo on
I Waited for You

About

Doug Raney's half-chorus electric guitar solo is the second of three solos on this tender ballad performance. Following Chet Baker's emotionally charged trumpet statement, Raney takes half of the 32-bar ABAC form at 59 BPM in E-flat, his warm tone blending seamlessly with the intimate atmosphere Baker has established. At just 22 to 23 years old during this session, Raney demonstrates a maturity and sensitivity beyond his years, maintaining the ballad's delicate emotional temperature while adding his own melodic perspective to Gillespie and Fuller's composition.

Doug Raney was 22 to 23 years old at the time.
