Vince Guaraldi: A Charlie Brown Christmas

Read "A Charlie Brown Christmas" reviewed by Jim Santella


This 1965 soundtrack has become ingrained in our minds through repeated leisurely holiday seasons with the family in the living room. They're great memories, brought to us by a stellar jazz piano trio that was always on top of the situation. Together, they gave us a no-nonsense setting.

Vince Guaraldi: A Charlie Brown Christmas

Read "A Charlie Brown Christmas" reviewed by David Rickert


If you were born in the sixties or later, there's a good chance that your first exposure to jazz was through the Peanuts Christmas special.

Vince Guaraldi Trio: A Boy Named Charlie Brown

Read "A Boy Named Charlie Brown" reviewed by David Rickert


By any standard, “Linus and Lucy" is a great song. Anyone over the age of seven is familiar with the melody, a catchy tune instantly identifiable with the Peanuts gang. It also put Vince Guaraldi, an artist who might otherwise have been a one-hit wonder with “Cast Your Fate To the Wind" and relegated to the ...
