Transcription
Background
Several songs were new variations of previously recorded material. "Ginza Samba", originally titled "Ginza", was first recorded for Modern Music from San Francisco (1956), Guaraldi's debut release as a group leader.[1]
The album also includes several songs that were reimagined for future inclusion in several Peanuts soundtracks. "The Little Drummer Boy", titled "Menino Pequeno Da Bateria", would later be featured in A Charlie Brown Christmas as "My Little Drum." In addition, the main theme for "Choro" is the first theme of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Symphony No. 40 in G minor, K. 550, I. Molto allegro. It was revamped in 1968 for use in He's Your Dog, Charlie Brown, retitled "Schroeder's Wolfgang".[1]

In a "Jazz Special Merit" review, Billboard noted that "Vince Guaraldi on piano and Bola Sete on guitar demonstrate that the Latin musical idiom can be combined with a U.S. sound to form good jazz. The two work so well together that it's often difficult to distinguish the piano from the guitar sounds."[5]
Richard S. Ginell of AllMusic gave the album three out of five stars, noting that "although Guaraldi was in somewhat fresher form in his other albums with Sete, this one won't disappoint his fans."[2]
In 1998, the album was remastered by Phil De Lancie and issued on CD for the first time.
