Instead he turnsto bassist Elias Bailey, andtogether they remind ushow many classics moveskyward in their storiesand/or metaphorictrajectories. This nimble duo wastes notime in getting down tobusiness in the fun andfamiliar. An appropriatelyhappy-go-lucky "Come FlyWith Me" sets the scenewhile saluting 'Ol BlueEyes and conjuringthoughts of a carefreelifestyle. Then a parade ofchestnuts follows—a"Flying Down To Rio" that'stight and lighthearted, a"Blue Skies" that movesfrom a mellow tempo toMach 2, a "Leaving On AJet Plane" with an islandtinge, and two morehandfuls of volitantvehicles.

proportions. With some ofthese selections theguitarist automaticallypoints toward hisinstrumental forefathers—Charlie Christian through"Air Mail Special,"Django Reinhardt with"Nuages"—but he doesn'tape them. He's simplyabsorbed what thosemasters created, a factthat's evident in the wayhis agile fingers do theirwork. And with Baileywalking lines with quicksteps, providing vitalitythrough solos, moving intandem with Raniolo, andadding musical retorts,another layer ofsophistication emerges inthis music. Once this duo establishesits m.o., it holds thatcourse straight on to thehorizon. It's a line toward asingle and specific sight,but what a beautiful vistait is. Raniolo and Baileyare all class, and thisalbum makes that caseagain and again.
