Vince Guaraldi Trio, "A Charlie Brown Christmas"

There is no other music that gives me that warm feeling the holidays are supposed to represent than the jazzy tunage of The Vince Guaraldi Trio and the work they did for the Peanuts Charlie Brown Christmas. Obviously a jazz record as much as it is a Christmas classic, this album is remarkable in capturing the spirit of a Charlie Brown Christmas. Struggling to find the true spirit of Christmas in the 1965 tv special, Charlie Brown is accompanied by a beautifully melancholy score of tunes that are light hearted and tranquil, yet have a slight jazzy bight the wintery cold of the late december might bring. Its truly amazing that such timeless music can be created by only three people. On this Christmas Day, whatever amazing people you might be surrounded by, throw some of these tunes on, and I'll promise you the mood will be perfect for sharing good times and good spirits. Merry Christmas to all -Nick
and a personal favorite, cause its so lively and oh how I love skating with 2 fingers over beautiful people when this song comes on...
