Agreed. Garauldi taught me to love jazz when I was so young I didn’t know what it was.
I think Raposo was Sesame Street and it was John Costa who arranged for Mr. Rogers.

Guaraldi left us too soon and his music probably did more to ingrain a love of contemporary jazz music in my generation (he along with Joe Raposo who did music for Mr. Rogers Neighborhood – and maybe some Sesame Street?). Corea’s version is constantly on my playlists..all of them, but so is Guaraldi’s..along with Cast your Fate to the Wind.
