Goodbye Svengali is Ray's tribute to Gil Evans. Having heard snippetts of this online I had put off getting this in favour of Ray's earlier albums from the sixties and seventies. However, I was totally wrong which became very clear to me when I finally got around to buying it. This is a great jazz album and there is a broad range of colours and textures on this album. None of the music is difficult to listen to although that doesn't mean that it not exciting or adventurous in it's nature. Ray conjures a plethora of sounds and tones from his guitar and even uses some guitar synth textures. The compositions have some memorable themes which develop and recapitulate to give a wholeness to the pieces, whilst the playing throughout the album from all musicians is top notch. Highly recommended.
