Format:Audio CD
A Charlie Brown Christmas is the combination of classic Christmas songs with the unmistakeable musical Genius of Vince Guaraldi. Including music from songs such as 'O Tannenbaum', Guaruldi creates a Christmas album with a touch of class. The instrumental versions of Christmas classics allow you to be festive without feeling that in some way you are embarressing yourself. The Jazz flavours of the album are a delight to listen to and the ideal musical accompanyment while decorating your tree. Dont be in anyway be put off by the inclusion of Charlie Brown in the title, the album is fantastic, alowing you to reminiss about your childhood years whilst maintaining your,(for want of a better word)dignity. An absolute must.

The Charlie Brown Experience
15 Dec 1999
Format:Paperback
I have been a fan of the Charlie Brown comic strip for years. I am an accompished pianist, and still enjoy this great score by Vince Guaraldi. The skating song, with it's unique fun triplets give me the feeling of ice skating on a brisk winters day. His rendition of O'Tannenbaum is also one of the best jazz numbers blended with the classic recipe to give it a splendid zest. This work is a must have for any musician's collection. I sincerley thank Vince Guaraldi and Charles Schulz for their contributions to our American culture.

Very nice
6 Oct 2003
Format:Paperback
I play piano at the grade 9 level (Royal Conservatory) and it was nice to find a collection of wonderful arrangements that were not boring to play. My favourite is "Christmas Time is Here" - the chords are full and very jazzy, and it's easy to add another note if you want to make is sound even better. Unfortunately, the fabulous Guaraldi solos are not included - these you will have to figure out yourself. "Skating" is fun to play - my kids love it - but I was so disappointed that Guaraldi's sizzling solo was absent. Still, I highly recommend this book - assuming it's the one I have and not a cheesier version - it's a holiday classic.
