Recently, Joop van der Jeij, a dear friend in the Netherlands, sent along a few rare tracks from his private recordings, featuring pianist Hod O'Brien (above) and guitarist Doug Raney (below). O'Brien passed away on Nov. 20 (here) and Raney on May 1. I've written about Raney several times (including here and here).

In November 1988, while O'Brien and Raney were touring in Europe, they played a series of dates in Holland and Belgium that were recorded live by Joop, who gave me permission to share these three rare tracks with you:

Here's Up in Quincy's Room, recorded at a radio broadcast at KRO Jazz Connection in Hilversum, Holland, featuring Raney, O'Brien, Ferdinand Povel (ts), Stefan Lievestro (b) and Max Bolleman (d)...
