First released on LP in 1980, this compilation concentrates upon bite-sized samples from Vince Guaraldi's Fantasy catalog. Naturally, Fantasy includes famous tunes like "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" and "Linus and Lucy," but there are also some superb sleepers ("Star Song," Jobim's "Outra Vez") that display Guaraldi's wonderful melodic gift, and the sessions with Bola Sete are touched upon. As a chronicle of Guaraldi's Fantasy days, the set is somewhat incomplete, for it leaves out all material recorded prior to "Cast Your Fate" and Guaraldi isn't given much of a chance to stretch out. But this is definitely the place to start for someone who has not heard this whimsically inventive pianist.
Lanzada por primera vez en un LP en 1980, esta compilación se concentra en muestras de tamaño de mordisco del catálogo de Fantasía de Vince Guaraldi. Naturalmente, Fantasía incluye temas famosos como "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" y "Linus and Lucy", pero también hay algunos magníficos durmientes ("Star Song", "Outra Vez" de Jobim) que muestran el maravilloso regalo melódico de Guaraldi, y se tocan las sesiones con Bola Sete. Como crónica de los días de Fantasía de Guaraldi, el set está algo incompleto, ya que deja fuera todo el material grabado antes de "Cast Your Fate" y a Guaraldi no se le da mucha oportunidad de estirarse. Pero este es definitivamente el lugar para empezar para alguien que no ha escuchado a este pianista caprichosamente inventivo.
