Background

Sometime after composing the soundtrack for the Peanuts television special You're in Love, Charlie Brown, Guaraldi accepted a two-week performance engagement at the Old Town Theatre in Los Gatos, California. The tracks contained on An Afternoon with the Vince Guaraldi Quartet were recorded during several of those performances, which took place on October 17–29, 1967.[2]

It was soon after these performances that Guaraldi veered away from traditional jazz and began experimenting with electronic keyboards that Guaraldi historian Derrick Bang described as a "fusion-laced detour" resulting in albums like The Eclectic Vince Guaraldi (1969).[1]

gollark: Can it do scrölling nicely?
gollark: Hmm, this "shapescape" thing is extremely impressive. I did not think you could actually practically make UIs like that in CC.
gollark: efficiency™
gollark: "Everyone" is the set of all people who exist. You are a person and exist, as far as I know, so you're a member of that, so you should insult yourself.
gollark: It's probably one of those "effectively impossible because there are too many options" problems.
