Vince Guaraldi: Oh, Good Grief! (Peanuts) Vinyl LP

Peanuts favorites, with a twist. On 1968's Oh, Good Grief! Vince Guaraldi revisited beloved songs from earlier Peanuts-themed Fantasy records  (i.e. Jazz Impressions Of A Boy Named Charlie Brown), but with added electric flourishes. In addition to his signature piano, Guaraldi introduced electric harpsichord and keyboard to the mix, which breathed new life into classic tunes like "Linus And Lucy" and "The Great Pumpkin Waltz." This recording also features Eddie Duran on guitar/electric guitar, Stanley Gilbert on bass, and Carl Burnett who rounded out the quartet on drums.
