Christmas Solo Piano & Charlie Brown

Xmas_CD_Cover_3.png

Like a lot of people my age, I'll never forget how magical seeing the first Charlie Brown Christmas TV special was in 1965. The piano driven jazz music written by Vince Guaraldi is timeless and never gets old. I was 9 years old, and I remember going to the piano and figuring out "Linus & Lucy" by ear, and have loved playing it ever since. I've done transcriptions for piano for every single song on the soundtrack CD, and have been playing them every Christmas for over 25 years. This year it occurred to me that it would be a nice project to record the whole album, including "Hark The Herald Angels Sing" and "Fur Elise" by Beethoven, and arranged all the tracks in the same order as the original - so that's what I've done. It's available on my Bandcamp page.
