Background

In an effort to capitalize on the unexpected success of the song "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" two years earlier, Fantasy Records hastily compiled what Guaraldi historian and author Derrick Bang referred to as "something of a clandestine 'greatest hits' collection."[2] All the songs included were taken from Vince Guaraldi Trio (1956) and A Flower Is a Lovesome Thing (1958). Fantasy later released what they considered a true "greatest hits" collection in 1980, four years after Guaraldi's death. That album, simply titled Greatest Hits, picked up where Jazz Impressions left off, compiling songs from the remainder of Guaraldi's Fantasy catalogue.[2]

Fantasy re-released Jazz Impressions in 1975 and 1987. It was remastered for CD release in 1995.[2]
