Eclectic
For years this has been out of print and hard to find. This is just great news for many fans around the world simply for the fact it has been put on cd. Now, it has been made easier.


Not his most endearing work, but don't overlook it.
That wasn't, sadly, meant as a compliment. As another person remarked on the Vince Guaraldi Web site, this album was, indeed, aptly named, "Eclectic". Unfortunately, as I was not impressed whenever another jazz artist, Herb Alpert, dropped his trumpet and chose to sing, I was also not enamored with Vince's efforts to vocalize on a couple of the songs here. He's simply not much of a singer.

However, 'Nobody Else,' 'Once I Loved,' and 'Yesterday' are three significant gems and well worth purchasing this album for. The rest may very well be failed experiments, but I was certainly happy to see the album finally made available on CD and snapped it up the moment it was available to order.
