The man at the center of “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” and most other music associated with more than a dozen “Peanuts” TV specials, is. A prominent pianist at the time, Guaraldi brought a fierce musicianship that he honed playing with some of the best jazz combos in Northern California, where he was born and based.
Mendelson convinced Guaraldi to work with him on a 1963 documentary called “A Boy Named Charlie Brown.” The work never aired, but the album that resulted — called “Jazz Impressions of a Boy Named Charlie Brown,” was a hit. It was also enough for Mendelson to call upon Guaraldi for a frantic, last minute holiday project that would become “A Charlie Brown Christmas.
“If you pretend for a moment that you don’t know these iconic cues and melodies, you would immediately recognize them as bossa nova,” Bang says. “And that sound is by nature cheerful, uplifting and happy.”
