Alma-Ville is the 12th and final studio album by American jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi, released in the U.S. by Warner Bros.-Seven Arts in December 1969.

Background

By the time Alma-Ville was released, Guaraldi had become best known for his work on six prime-time animated television specials based upon the popular comic strip Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz. Only one track, "The Masked Marvel", had been featured in the most recent special, It Was a Short Summer, Charlie Brown.[1] The album is notable for featuring a cover of The Beatles’ song "Eleanor Rigby", which Guaraldi had been regularly performing during his live sets.[2] The album's title track is a new recording of a song originally recorded eight years earlier for the album Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus.[2]

A remastered edition was released in July 6, 2018 by Omnivore Recordings as part of the 3-disc set The Complete Warner Bros.-Seven Arts Recordings.[3]
