Before he met Charles Schulz and Charlie Brown, Vince Guaraldi was a household name in jazz because of his work with Cal Tjader and his success with "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" from his Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus album. The CBS television program A Charlie Brown Christmas spread Guaraldis fame far beyond jazz households. First broadcast in 1965, the show is one of the best-loved animated specials in TV history, repeated year after year during the Christmas season.
Celebrating 50+ years since A Charlie Brown Christmas made its debut on televisions across America, this deluxe set makes the perfect gift for Peanuts fans young and old.
This 50th Anniversary Edition set includes two CDs: the original soundtrack to A Charlie Brown Christmas, and Peanuts Portraits, a collection of Guaraldis vivid musical portraits of the classic Peanuts characters. PLUS, a reproduction of the 1965 Charlie Brown Christmas childrens book, and 4 double-sided postcards, featuring beloved Peanuts characters.
