Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Guaraldi recorded the entire 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' score in one three-hour session—while slightly drunk, by his own admission.

His 'Peanuts' soundtracks outsold every other jazz album of the 1960s, quietly radicalizing generations of kids into syncopation.
