Vince Guaraldi - the definitive Vince Guaraldi / 2CD set

Fantastic collection explores Guaraldi’s career through rare photos, ephemera and 31 tracks recorded between 1955 and 1966. This comprehensive survey proves that the San Francisco-based jazz pianist was much more than just the music behind the Peanuts animated specials—the position which gained him his widest recognition. Booklet features a host of rarely seen images—many of which are from the extensive collection of historian Derrick Bang (author of 2012’s Vince Guaraldi at the Piano [McFarland Press]). Liner notes by award-winning jazz historian and journalist Doug Ramsey round out the package.
