For those programmers who pine for another Vince Guaraldi experience after watching "A Charlie Brown Christmas," here's another set of simple but pleasing piano-bass-drums trio music. Other than yet another ill-fated rendition of "Autumn Leaves" (arrrrgggh! enough already!), Roger and his pals competently handle these arrangements and the rhythm section actually gets to pop out into the spotlight with some regularity.1/06 MJVD Jazz-Contemporary
