Cashbox cited the album as a Jazz Pick: "Here's a delightful musical marriage spotlighting the distinctive musical talents of Bola Sete and Vince Guaraldi ... The two jazzmen compliment each other as they turn in superlative renditions of 'Days of Wine and Roses,' 'Star Song' and 'Moon Rays.' - Wikipedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeB1kht5u5Q&list=PL9reB0DlKm6tDCmv_mGwQKIKVjCpwMXF0&index=1 #VinceGuaraldi #BolaSete #Music #Jazz #JazzPiano

Ended the weekend and welcomed the week after a walk with A Flower Is a Lovesome Thing the second studio album by American jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi (credited to the Vince Guaraldi Trio), released in the US by Fantasy Records in October 1957. DownBeat praised the album's soothing tone, noting, in part, that "Guaraldi is serenely wistful in his interpretation of Billy Strayhorn's title song, is surely relaxed in the lightly swinging 'Softly.' He delightfully colors the impressionistic 'Yesterdays.' 'Like a Rose' is accorded a treatment almost elegiac in its poetic quietude." - Wikipedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NOketqcg08&list=RD0NOketqcg08&start_radio=1 #VinceGuaraldi #EddieDuran #Jazz #Music #JazzPiano #CharlieBrown

Ended Monday and welcomed Tuesday after a swim with Vince Guaraldi Trio the debut studio album by American jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi (credited to the Vince Guaraldi Trio), released in the US by Fantasy Records in September 1956. Billboard wrote a positive review, “Altho [sic] sales are unlikely to be spectacular, this is one of the pleasant surprises of the month. Guaraldi is a young San Francisco pianist who has been getting rave notices with the Woody Herman band. Evidence here says he’s a tasteful, authoritative and facile modernist, and that he swings. Further, he has a sense of humor. Guitarist Eddie Duran and bassist Dean Reilly are worthy colleagues. Try their version of John Lewis' 'Django' for a real delight.” - Wikipedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXf-ymAYdHg&list=PL9reB0DlKm6vv-wriP8wGPmUrCRfL9jxZ&index=1 #VinceGuaraldi #CharlieBrown #Jazz #JazzPiano #EddieDuran #Music #JohnLewis #WoodyHerman #CalTjader #Django

Where Are You Going is a 1973 album by Shirley Horn Shirley Valerie Horn (May 1, 1934 – October 20, 2005) was an American jazz singer and pianist.[1] She collaborated with many jazz musicians including Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Toots Thielemans, Ron Carter, Carmen McRae, Wynton Marsalis and others. She was most noted for her ability to accompany herself with nearly incomparable independence and ability on the piano while singing, something described by arranger Johnny Mandel as "like having two heads", and for her rich, lush voice, a smoky contralto, which was described by noted producer and arranger Quincy Jones as "like clothing, as she seduces you with her voice" - Wikipedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP6NWNfAFbQ&list=RDgP6NWNfAFbQ&start_radio=1 #ShirleyHorn #VocalJazz #Jazz #Music #JazzPiano
