The True Side of Vince Guaraldi
Pianist Vince Guaraldi’s main claim to fame are his Charlie Brown/Peanuts compositions. However, he is much more than that. Vince excelled in playing swinging jazz/bebop, Afro-Cuban salsa, Brazilian, funky boogaloo blues + more. Being his only student and later becoming his piano partner in his 2 piano quartet, Powder Keg, I know his music firsthand. Here is an example of Vince’s creativity: he would listen to the latest pop tune once, and immediately come up with a hip jazz/Latin arrangement of that song. On Sunday, April 6 we will present the true side of Vince Guaraldi – playing his favorite repertoire spread out in various genres. Don’t miss this inspiring concert!
