Guaraldi and Stan Getz took jazz to a new level by fusing it with samba, bossa nova, rhumba, and carnival rhythms from South America. There is a liveliness and, at the same time, a note of sadness (triste) that jazz never had before. No one has done this better than Guaraldi! He made jazz popular and that brought people into the genre that would noever have considered it before. Guaraldi is one of the all-time greats!
