List of songs recorded by Vince Guaraldi

Vince Guaraldi (1928–1976) was an American jazz pianist, composer and arranger whose recording career as a leader began in the 1950s. His released catalog ranges from jazz standards and popular songs to original compositions, Latin jazz collaborations and sacred music.^[1]

Guaraldi first recorded for Fantasy Records and achieved national success with "Cast Your Fate to the Wind". He later recorded three albums for Warner Bros.-Seven Arts and also issued music through his own D & D label. His collaborations with Brazilian guitarist Bola Sete produced three albums during the 1960s.^[2]

Beginning with music written for the unaired documentary A Boy Named Charlie Brown, Guaraldi became closely associated with the animated Peanuts productions. He scored the first fifteen television specials and the feature film A Boy Named Charlie Brown.^[1] Only a portion of this material appeared on records during his lifetime. Authorized archival albums issued from the 1990s onward have released previously unavailable studio, live and soundtrack performances, including complete scores reconstructed from original session reels.^[3]

This list includes more than 250 distinct musical works officially released in recordings led or co-led by Guaraldi. It also includes select recordings on which Guaraldi performed as a sideman when he was credited as a writer or co-writer of the recorded work. A work is listed once even when Guaraldi recorded it repeatedly. The earliest commercial release of a Guaraldi recording is shown; later studio, concert and soundtrack versions are summarized in the notes. Alternate takes, reprises, medleys, incomplete performances and studio chatter do not receive separate entries.
