Vince Guaraldi Trio – A Charlie Brown Christmas (CD, Fantasy FCD-8431-2, US Reissue, Stereo)

Why This CD Matters
A Charlie Brown Christmas is the soundtrack to the CBS television special, with Vince Guaraldi’s piano-led jazz becoming closely associated with the Peanuts holiday program. The program combines Guaraldi compositions including “Linus And Lucy,” “Christmas Time Is Here,” and “Skating” with arrangements of traditional Christmas music. This post-1994 reissue adds “Greensleeves” as the twelfth track.
