Linus and Lucy: with the Jerry Granelli Trio

Featuring the music of Jerry Granelli
Duration: 06:05

One of the most-recognized Christmas jazz tunes is “Linus and Lucy” from the 1965 cartoon TV special, A Charlie Brown Christmas. With this scene/song, the kids of the Peanuts comic strip shimmy freely amongst themselves at the school dance. Meanwhile, three of the characters jam on piano (Linus), guitar (Snoopy) and bass (Pig Pen). Jazz pianist and composer {{m: Vince Guaraldi = 7278}} created a shuffle-like eight-note groove that seeps from the drummer’s brushes and a pentatonic melody that is impossible to forget once you’ve enjoyed it. As seen in this 2014 video of "Linus and Lucy," {{m: Jerry Granelli = 7166}} (drums) was the last living member of the Vince Guaraldi Trio that recorded the original. Granelli was joined by {{m: Chris Gestrin = 21699}} (piano) and {{m: Simon Fisk = 22951}} (bass).
