| With "Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus," Vince Guaraldi created one of the most original, recognizable, and joyous sounds in piano jazz. (Perhaps only Thelonious Monk is more instantly recognizable.) The lively keyboard work, the sympathetic rhythm section, the Latin flourishes, the tender ballads, and the playful swinging all come together to create an instant classic. Extremely accessible, "Black Orpheus" is an excellent selection to get a friend interested in jazz - or to introduce yourself to America's classical music. A masterpiece! |

| Q: Steve, what are your favorite jazz masterings? A: Favorite jazz masterings? Well, this is apart from my favorite jazz recordings of course. The one that gave me the most satisfaction as a mastering engineer was of course the Vince Guaraldi Trio's "Jazz Impressions Of Black Orpheus" aka "Cast Your Fate To The Wind". |

| We got a return in the mail at DCC of the Guaraldi Gold disc (a store sent it back to us after a customer returned it to them). Should have gone back to the distributor but it came to us. At any rate, inside there was a note and this was it (I kept this copy just because it gave me a good chuckle). The note: "Returned because customer hears midrange vibration on track 5, right side". Well, that "midrange vibration" is the bass being bowed on the intro and outro of the song "Cast Your Fate To The Wind". Clueless Consumer Alert!! |
