Vince Guaraldi Trio - A Boy Named Charlie Brown

Fantasy FCD-8430-2. 1989


Pure brilliance. This is (mostly) lounge jazz perfection. VG has an exquisite touch on the piano. It sounds casual and effortless.

I defy anyone to suppress a smile during Linus and Lucy. All that's missing is Snoopy doing his mad little jig.

This is labelled as Children's Jazz on discogs.com, but forget the Charlie Brown thing and listen to this for what it is - great tunes.

Finished off with an out-there version of Fly Me To The Moon.

I

LOVE

IT
