![]() 1964’s A Boy Named Charlie Brown -not to be confused with the classic comic strip’s first feature film of the same name from 1969-is said to have been the catalyst which inspired the TV execs to green light the Christmas special and its subsequent sequels in spite of passing on airing it. While the pianist’s score to 1965’s A Charlie Brown Christmas remains the gold standard in the discography, closing in on second by a nose hair is the long beloved soundtrack to a documentary on Peanuts creator Charles Schulz that was filmed for CBS but never aired. For many jazz fans, Vince Guaraldi’s soundtracks to the Charlie Brown animated specials that aired throughout the 60s and 70s provided the ultimate entryway into one of the most complex and compelling factions of American music.
