Vince Guaraldi and Bola Sete perform Star Song

[zebuzios]

Fantástico. Outro músico brasileiro esquecido e estigmatizado.

[TheTruthSeek]

Guiraldi is amazing! Get rid of the guitar and this is even better.

[sarahjeanbeans]

wow, just wow. too.

[dturbide]

Love the way that swings so sweetly.

[funkandgroovin]

Exquisite

I must also say that WGBH, based in Boston,MA, is the first educational TV station in the USA.

[amtrakatsfnyc]

I recall seeing this clip on WGBH [ Channel 2] somtime in the late 50s or early 60s. Being an educational TV station, they would show Vince playing one song in order to fill in the time slot to the next hour of time and then commence with another program. This is his composition and it shows his significant ability to create beautiful music. Thank you for the posting.

[msmomo2u]

Wow. Just Wow.

[AutumnPastry]

Sheesh, the world could have used a lot more of Vince and Bola. Thank you for the great music fellas.

[JakeSchmader1]

PRETTY. Small ensembles like this are so fun.

[meg3325]

One of the best jazz pianists ever! We lost him too soon............people just know him as the guy who performed the Peanuts soundtrack. He was so much more.

[cardwell]

Thanks for posting. Vince was one of the greats!

[Chilajuana]

Very cool playing.... Does anyone have the lead sheet to Star Song?

[dharmaseed]

Thank you for posting a viedo of Vince Guaraldi. True musicians so rarely get their props nowadays.

[MrBrokenDee]

Great Vid, Thank you for posting a classic like Vince Guaraldi. The guitar sets the feeling for the rhythm and then takes a solo over the piano that becomes the ryhthm. Great give and take, nice conversation. Xcellent !

[mikrussell]

Thank you!! Great to see Bola and Vince playing.

[JusticeConstantine]

Thank you so much for posting this video. -Justice Constantine

[stevefromPA2]

The guitar player looks like james baldwin..

[gege123434]

@stevefromPA2 Or Robert Cray

[noisyfan]

Vince's cultural empathy for Brazilian music is pure joy and love!!

And it's so rare. IMHO only Stan Getz and very few other non-Brazilians have been able to achieve such a deep affinity to the Bossa Nova.

Bola Sete - I loved him and his guitar at first sight, when I heard him 1964 in an Oakland club.

[gatomjp]

I have never seen Vince in action! What a cool looking guy!

And what a great combo he and Bola Sete were.

[DiamondPlatedJim]

MAGIC!

[andersingram]

great to see so much love for vince here ...

i came here to see bola sete ...

[YN3TMK]

After listening to his music for so long, seeing this video is akin to using the sense of sight after being forever blind. To watch these two, especially Vince, is such a treat. Thank you, seriously.  Thank you over and over again!

[jorgesantori1]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sparrow171717]

Thanks for posting. Vince is the man!

[BabyValentinaTV]

Great to see this rare footage of Vince.

[stewbie59]

What can you say to that!? Incredible music where the artists PLAY the instruments and it's not "synced". Love Vince Guaraldi!

[Vincejoecool]

This is so wonderful ive never seen footage of Vince playing

[SanJuanCreole]

My Homie Vince!  I love this!

[rileycpo]

I have to agree with what everyone else is saying here. What a true Musician. Sad that today there is more garbage out there like Lady GaGa and M+M instead awesome music like this. All I can say is, is there any more video's out there?

[jvnmrles]

Wow, soothing music........

[ctaesque]

Wow, great to see live footage of Vince. A jazz hero.

[desertkev]

Damn, he's even got his finger wrapped on his left hand and still pulls this off....

[johnnyphoenix74]

ha ha awesome he plays like Schroeder.

[dcstudio]

THIS IS SO AWESOME--IT IS GOING AROUND FACEBOOK RIGHT NOW. Vince has been heard again!!  what a great day this is!! wow posted it on FB!!

[jefftherealdrunk]

Thank you danders3 for posting this - I've never seen Vince Guaraldi perform live, and now seeing him on the fly, you can see why the peanuts cartoons became such classics. good on ya

[buddylarsen]

Sophomore year in high school in Lafayette, Louisiana, listening to A.M. radio, "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" comes on --and like so many others I've been permanently hooked on Vince Guaraldi ever since that moment. There's no words for the guy's musical coloration --it just hits that one spot like nobody and nothing else does.

[musiclover59]

The touch this man has at the piano is amazing. He is a natural at the boss nova.

[veroconpaz]

This is just amazing.

[Leedysgladstones]

This is the first video I have seen of Vince live

[headfullofmusic]

I just think this is fantastic. VG's playing sounds like rain drops falling from heaven and the combination of both is pure magic. I know this sounds a bit gushing :-)

[magisterms]

5 minutes of pure jam-awesomeness without the slightest sign of fatigue, lack of rythm of discomfort. You can tell in a brief second that both of them love what they are playing for you ;)

[theplug66]

Just great!

[swell1954]

Say it aint so. I never thought I'd see footage of cool Mr. G himself (on youtube, no doubt). Thank you so very much!!!

[theplug66]

Just wonderful

[bigkest666]

RIP Vince, we'll never forget ya! ;)

[siamesemeg]

Incredible. I'm with @dcstudio - speechless with pleasure. Thank you so much for posting this. It's amazing to see the man perform. I'm just filled with the obvious joy he brought to the piano.

[dcstudio]

I am speechless--I have never seen a video of Vince--omg! can't tell you how much of his music I've covered over the years. (most of my vids here are of me trying to cover him) I'm a pianist/teacher--and he has been my favorite since I was a kid. Dad had all his records. I can't thank you enough for posting this--went right into my faves. This is BEAUTIFUL!!! TY TY TY!!

[asiadoug]

Wonderful. Vince's playing is even more incredible when you consider that he was playing with a splint immobilizing one of the fingers on his left hand! (You can see it pretty clearly around the 4:00 mark.) I never would have guessed from listening...

[9theAwfulbet]

Vince Guaraldi is pure musical bliss! In this video he looks like Paul Giamatti, like a biopic or somthin

[stevefromPA2]

@9theAwfulbet thats it...Paul Giamati could play his life story...
