Hold the Peanuts
What makes him special? Aside from his trademark "crushed tone thirds," he delivers at multiple levels. Vince Guaraldi cranks out music like few others. I can be swept away by the joy, bouncing with the beat, or running to my piano room to practice when I hear this CD. There are no lulls. Guaraldi's playing, masterful as it is, is all about the listener's experience, not about the player's chops. If you've enjoyed hearing him you-know-where, but want to experience him without thinking of you-know-what, he brings the same kind of positive energy to this CD as he did to the characters of you-know-who. .


Vince Guaraldi....A giant among jazz pianists
Wonderful interpretation of the Black Orpheus theme. This item is absolutely wonderful. I miss Vince Guaraldi since his early death. What a loss. But we have him on these old wonderful albums so we are blessed to be able to hear his fantastic talent. Try his Charlie Brown album & at Grace Cathedral. Two classics that I would also recommend.


More Goodness
This CD has several tracks that equal that performance. Our family enjoys the Charlie Brown Christmas Soundtrack by Vince Guaraldi.


Fantastic Fate
Cast Your Fate to the Wind is worth the price of admission alone. A wonderful cd. A joy to listen to.


A Classic Album
It's a classic jazz trio playing in the then-popular bossa nova style. "Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus" was the breakthrough album for Vince Guaraldi. Mr. Guaraldi is a master of the piano, playing in a laid back, flowing style that is a joy to hear. People are most familiar with the mega-hit "Cast Your Fate To The Wind" but the other cuts are just as good and will haunt you for days after hearing them. All-in-all, a classic jazz album that belongs in every afficianado's collection.
