North Beach is a compilation album by American jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi (credited to Vince Guaraldi and Friends) released by D & D Records (Guaraldi's label) in January 2006. The album is a mix of previously unreleased studio and live recordings taped in mid-1970s.[1]

Background

In the mid-2000s, Vince Guaraldi's son, David Guaraldi, worked to restore a wealth of unreleased live recorded material from his father's archives.[1] The recordings on North Beach were taped in a variety of studios and jazz clubs based in the North Beach neighborhood of San Francisco, California.[1]

The release features covers of Elton John's "Your Song" and Ervin Drake's "It Was a Very Good Year".[2]

North Beach was released on CD only. It did not receive a vinyl release.[1]
