Kudos on an awesome version! When Vince Guaraldi was starting in the music world, he told someone that he wanted to compose a standard at some point. Well... he wrote many, and more special than that, they became musical Americana. Vince is an immortal. And yes, I Believe in The Great Pumpkin😀!
Scoured the many different versions of this song to see if anyone has actually managed to improvise this Guaraldi masterpiece, and honestly you and your band have been literally the ONLY ones I could find to do it any justice! Bravo maestro 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽
@@joshuabowlus that’s actually how I discovered you! Fellow musician from Guaraldi’s own stomping grounds, the Bay. Ever gig out here? If you ever head to the west coast, I’m there!
@@pastense wow that’s awesome! I have not yet had the opportunity to gig on the west coast other than playing in Monterey Next Generation jazz fest in a college band. Hopefully soon!

You guys sound fantastic
Thank you so much!
