The Music of A Charlie Brown Christmas

Presented by Stanford Jazz Workshop

Join SJW for a free online show that will warm your heart and put you in the holiday spirit, featuring jazz pianist Glen Pearson (Count Basie), bassist Ruth Davies (Charles Brown, Elvin Bishop), and drummer Lorca Hart (Freddie Hubbard, Calvin Keys, Stanley Jordan, Craig Handy). Originally broadcast in 1965, A Charlie Brown Christmas is hands-down one of the most beloved specials in TV history. Commissioned by Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz, Vince Guaraldi composed and performed the timeless contemporary jazz score which wonderfully reflects both the spirit of the legendary Peanuts characters and the Christmas season. Don’t miss this chance to get the season off to a Charlie Brown start! Includes bonus interview video with Glen Pearson, and at the Sunday matinee, live chat with the musicians.
