vince guaraldi and bola sete live at el matador

'there were too many of us; we had access to too many, uh, too much money'

i found a great album in sf for any {jazz, vince guaraldi, bola sete} fans.  it caught me by surprise even though i am big guaraldi fan and sete fan.

as you can see i found this at amoeba [sf] for $6.  aside from the awesome cover photos, the vinyl is red and looks cool.  quite a steal.













the vinyl:
















there is some cool vg stuff on a side, but the b side is where the magic happens.  bola guitar and vince piano hit hard on two hot tracks live from 1966 in sf club el matador.  apparently vince introduced bola to popular us jazz scene.  note the cd version includes a studio album from a few years earlier and not as good.  last two live tracks [favela and black orpheus suite] well worth adding to your collection.
