Editorial Reviews

Pianist George Winston recorded a tribute album in 1996 to jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi (1928 1976), a musician beloved by generations for the compositions he recorded for various Charlie Brown television specials and for his standard ''Cast Your Fate to the Wind''. That album was Linus & Lucy The Music of Vince Guaraldi, and Winston revisits his musical hero a second time with Love Will Come The Music of Vince Guaraldi, Vol. 2, a collection of a wide range of Guaraldi interpretations. Many of the songs from Winston's follow-up album are from the Charlie Brown episodes, and tracks for them written by Guaraldi include ''Time For Love'' from the episode, There's No Time For Love Charlie Brown, ''Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown,'' ''Love Will Come,'' ''Woodstock,'' ''Little Birdie,'' ''It Was a Short Summer Charlie Brown'', ''Rain, Rain, Go Away,'' ''Air Music,'' and ''You're Elected Charlie Brown.'' The album also features other Guaraldi compositions from his jazz albums.As a sixteen year old Winston (not yet playing music, but an avid fan of instrumental music) became captivated by the Charles Schulz film, A Charlie Brown Christmas. Immediately after purchasing the sound track, Winston immersed himself in the sixteen Peanuts® television specials scored by Guaraldi, becoming captivated by Vince's sounds and compositions. Many of the songs featured on Linus & Lucy were also from Vince's soundtracks from the Peanuts® series.George Winston integrates his passion for Vince's music and New Orleans R&B piano, together with childhood experiences in order to create a sound inspired by legends such as The Doors, and New Orleans pianists Henry Butler, James Booker, and Professor Longhair. Winston conveys a sense of life through his music with a sensibility of the seasons and topographies of Mother Earth.This vinyl version features three bonus tracks, ''Dilemma'', ''Seeds For Thought/Ballad For Oscar'' and ''Christmas Time Is Here''.Features:* Double LP* 3 Bonus Tracks

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Amazing Work from Mr. Winston, February 14, 2010

Being a relatively new fan of Mr. Winston, I was excited to learn of a new release having consumed his other albums as quickly as possible. I have been a fan of Vince Guaraldi's music since I was a child and this was the perfect combination of two of the best pianists there ever were. I was also glad he decided to include some of Guaraldi's jazz compositions outside of the Charlie Brown stuff which a lot of people seem to overlook. The fact that solo piano music played and composed by musicians who can produce such a full sound is stunning. Easily one of my favorite albums from Mr. Winston!

This review is from: Love Will Come-The Music of Vince Guaraldi, Volume 2 (Audio CD)

Let me begin by saying that I'm a huge fan of both George Winston and the music of Vince Guaraldi.
Although I eagerly anticipated the release of Love Will Come-The Music of Vince Guaraldi, Volume 2, it left me kind of unmoved.
The playing is very good, but the music itself and the interpretations were somewhat bland. I don't hear much variety or inspiration.
I'm trying to be fair but, in all honesty, this recording fails to reach the level of excitement
generated by George Winston's Volume 1 Guaraldi CD. Perhaps other listeners will feel differently, but I'm giving this one three stars.

This review is from: Love Will Come-The Music of Vince Guaraldi, Volume 2 (Audio CD)

Being a bassoonist and pianist I am a huge fan of all instrumental music. This album was a great find for me. I have always been a fan of Vince Guaraldi and am definitely a fan of George and his new release. All of the songs on the album are awesome, my favorite tracks are Love Will Come and Woodstock. Whether you are familiar with Vince Guaraldi, a long time fan of George Winston's or just like the music from the Peanuts specials, Love Will Come is the album for you!
