Vince Guaraldi will forever be linked to the Peanuts cartoon, particularly the TV special from 1965 called A Charlie Brown Christmas. This soundtrack album was Guaraldi’s eight release, and it’s his most memorable. Guaraldi’s most famous moment is the track “Linus And Lucy”, which became the sort of unofficial Peanuts theme song. And yes…it IS technically a Christmas album, and here I am writing about it in October. Well…it’s not ALL about Christmas. Mostly, but not all. What you get here is a fine dose of what Guaraldi does best: simple yet beautiful piano arrangements with light bass and drum backing. But because it is recorded for a children’s TV special, there are children here, too. Lots of them, in spots, a choir, actually.
The children are used sparingly, thank goodness. Outside of their annoying inclusion (especially on the “Little Drummer Boy” soundalike “My Little Drum”), this is a really great and very listenable album, even when it’s not December. “Linus And Lucy” is, of course, one of the most popular jazz tracks of all time, but there are other gems here. Especially Guaraldi’s take on “O Tannenbaum”, which is simply a lovely piano take on the holiday classic. In the end, A Charlie Brown Christmas is listenable at any time because it doesn’t feel like a Christmas album. If you take away the three songs featuring the children’s chorus, this would be a perfect piano jazz album. As it is, it’s still very good, and folks like me can take it down in December and say, “See? I have Christmas music!” [First added to this chart: 02/16/2024]
