Is this fair?
Jimmy Raney came before Wes and Jim. An example is
the recordings
with Stan Getz that date back to c. 1950. Tal Farlow
also was
prominent then, and Wes even cited him as an
influence.
Ben,
Historically, Ben may more accurate because in 1955,
Jim Hall became a member of the original Chico
Hamilton Quintet, and was then that Jim began to
attract national, and then international, attention.
