Vince Guaraldi recommendations

Last night I noticed that his piano on Chet Baker/Cal Tjader is right up my alley. A web search showed lots of music attached to his name. Anyone have favorites? Vinyl is preferred and comments on sound quality would certainly be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I highly recommend Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus. Originally on Vanguard, I think there has been audiophile vinyl release. Steve Hoffman did a remaster for CD on DCC Gold. It's a great record and includes his hit, "Cast Your Fate to the Wind."

Charle Brown Christmas is a favorite year around for the fine muscianship on this album.

The "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" album on Fantasy is very enjoyable. It sold well originally so not too hard to find at a reasonable price. You would want the red label (earlier pressing) over the blue label.

Try Guaraldi and Bola Sete. Great guitar and piano. They recorded a couple of disks on Fantasy.
