Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus is an album by the Vince Guaraldi Trio, released in 1962 on Fantasy Records.[2]

The album contains both original compositions and covers of songs from the 1959 film Black Orpheus. It spawned the hit single "Cast Your Fate to the Wind", which won the 1963 Grammy Award for Best Original Jazz Composition. Some later pressings of the LP have the single's title displayed prominently at the top of the cover, and the album title in the box underneath. Consequently, this album is often referred to as "Cast Your Fate to the Wind."

"Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus" was released in 1983 in a half-speed mastered edition by Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs.

Another remastered version was released with five bonus tracks on Fantasy Records' imprint, Original Jazz Classics label September 28, 2010.
