Only Vince Guaraldi can make Charlie Brown into something amazing. Using a keyboard and electric harpsichord, Vince illuminates the characters with his sound. A little snippet from the album cover:
Oh, good grief! They've gone and done it. They've put that jazzy music from Peanuts television specials on a record. Those piquant waltzes, fox trots, and box steps that Vince Guaraldi wrote...What's more, they're played by Mr. Guaraldi himself, on piano and electric harpsichord, with a noble assist from Carl Burnett (drums), Stanley Gilbert (bass) and Eddie Duran (electric guitar).
I remember going on a mission to fine A Charlie Brown Christmas on vinyl because it reminded me of my childhood and the Christmas' I had with our little family. I always feel like a kid again in that sense and always think about all things wonderful. To have that moment in my heart and mind, I will never forget it.
Enjoy!
