Vince Guaraldi - Greatest Hits

From: $9.97

He's best known, and deservedly so, for the jazzy music he wrote for Charles M. Schulz's "Peanuts" characters, but San Francisco-based Vince Guaraldi was also a highly regarded trio and ensemble pianist whose laid-back grooves are still a treat to hear. Greatest Hits samples his various stages, from big hits "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" and "Samba de Orpheus" to his work with Latin guitarist Bola Sete ("Days of Wine and Roses") to, yes, his beloved "Peanuts" compositions ("Good Grief," "Linus and Lucy," "Christmastime Is Here"). --David Horiuchi

From: Amazon Posted: Apr 10, 2007 Type: User Review A Most Fitting Tribute to a Jazz Legend Most Remembered as Charlie Brown's Muse

It's always a treat to hear the velvety smooth work of jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi and realize he was far more than cartoonist Charles Schultz's composer on those long-ago Peanuts TV specials, in particular, "A Charlie Brown Christmas". Guaraldi's...

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 02, 2007 Type: User Review Great jazz piano

Vince Guaraldi was a great pianist who tragically passed away in 1976. "Linus and Lucy" is probably his most famous and probably most peolpe's favorite. The drums and bass in his band help add great sound and beat to the music. If you like piano...

From: Amazon Posted: Jul 15, 2006 Type: User Review Technically great; technologically weak.

Recently having taken up the piano, I thought I would start listening to some piano music I'm familiar with from my childhood. Although everyone my age knows the Charlie Brown theme, I didn't know a lot about Vince Guaraldi. I decided to take a...

From "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" to "Linus and Lucy," Guaraldi had a marvelous sound all his own. A great talent. It's a shame he died so young.
