Label: Original Jazz Classics / Fantasy
Originally released 1956, Reissue 2015
This San Francisco trio of the mid-1950s has a sparkling personality all it's own, with a refreshing lack of pretentiousness. With an ebullient swing on the up-tempos, and a subtle, unhackneyed approach to ballads such as "Sweet and Lovely" and jazz standards such as John Lewis's "Django", this 1956 LP marks Guaraldi's triumphant first complete album as a leader. With Eddie Duran and Dean Reilly.
