Vince Guaraldi Trio • The Latin Side Of Vince Guaraldi

Review by Richard S. Ginell

The Latin side for Vince Guaraldi means a brush with both the Brazilian and Caribbean strains of Latin jazz, garnished now and then by an outboard string quartet and graced by four of his own delightful tunes. On Brazilian numbers like "Corcovado" and Brazilian-treated tunes like "Mr. Lucky" and Guaraldi's lovely "Star Song," Vince has drummer Jerry Granelli deploy his distinctive brushes-and-rim-shots bossa nova beat. Jack Weeks supplies bittersweet string arrangements as he tries to grant Guaraldi's wish for a "Villa-Lobos sound," which he does, more or less. Other tunes, like Guaraldi's own happy-go-lucky "Treat Street," "Whirlpool," and Nat Adderley's "Work Song," are treated to gentle cha-cha rhythms. Guaraldi's piano is hauntingly melodic, impulsively swinging, and unmistakable for anyone else's.

El lado latino de Vince Guaraldi significa un pincel con las variedades brasileña y caribeña de jazz latino, adornado de vez en cuando por un cuarteto de cuerdas externo y adornado por cuatro de sus propias melodías encantadoras. En números brasileños como "Corcovado" y melodías tratadas por brasileños como "Mr. Lucky" y la encantadora "Canción estelar" de Guaraldi, Vince hace que el baterista Jerry Granelli despliegue su distintivo ritmo de bossa nova de brushes and rim-shots. Jack Weeks proporciona arreglos de cuerdas agridulces mientras intenta conceder el deseo de Guaraldi de un "sonido de Villa-Lobos", lo que hace, más o menos. Otras melodías, como "Treat Street", "Whirlpool" y la canción "Work Song" de Nat Adderley, de Guaraldi, son tratadas con suaves ritmos cha-cha. El piano de Guaraldi es inquietantemente melódico, impulsivo y de manera inconfundible, e inconfundible para los demás.
