Tune of the Week: Guaraldi's Peanuts

This week’s tune might seem a bit obvious, but don’t be a Grinch! Vince Guaraldi’s buoyant writing and playing style is exemplified on this one. If you like his stuff he did for this show, you should definitely check out his other works. His discography is as varied as it is wonderful. A healthy dose of Brasilian influence as well as pseudo choral works all sit beside some of that laid back bay area style. Not a jazz-head favorite, but his first full-length with his trio is worth a spin. Happy holidays!
