About the Album
Vince Guaraldi’s “Linus and Lucy,” arranged collaboratively by Mina Choi and Bill Cunliffe and featuring Terell Stafford on trumpet, takes the beloved piano-trio melody and transforms it into a vibrant big-band arrangement. The familiar theme fits the larger ensemble remarkably well, sounding as though it was originally written for a big band.
Tracks
Smells Like Teen Spirit; Linus and Lucy; Rise; The Mystery of Monifa Brown; Message Home; Whatever You Say.
