On February 13, 1966, at the age of 19, Bivens [ We Five vocaliast] married jazz bassist Fred Marshall (Frederick Calvin Marshall, October 4, 1938 – November 14, 2001).[57][58] Marshall had worked with a number of West Coast rock bands and been a member of the Vince Guaraldi Trio which famously recorded the incidental music for television specials based on the Peanuts cartoons of Charles Schulz.[59] Guaraldi had been an habitué of the hungry i club and Marshall’s own band, the Ensemble, played at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco on the same bill as Jefferson Airplane on the night in October 1966 that Grace Slick first sang as their lead vocalist.

Lee Mendelson, who produced A Charlie Brown Christmas commissioned Vince Guaraldi to produce the music. Guaraldi wrote a song ("Linus and Lucy") for the show, and played it for Mendelson over the phone, and it blew him away. It is impossible to imagine A Charlie Brown Christmas without that iconic music.

Charles Schultz detested the jazz music.

I was privileged to see Guaraldi in person around a half dozen times; he was a terrific, lyrical musician.

The essence of Christmas: beautiful, melancholy, a reminder of childhood, family, & friends. Just gorgeous.

Vince Guaraldi was a genius, with a memorable opus. Thanks.

The sound of his keyboard is as distinct as Billie Holiday’s voice. I know it is just a Fender Rhodes, but somehow it is just different enough I always know it is Vince.

Best Christmas Soundtrack. Evah.
Narrowly beats Rankin Bass’ Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer for Christmas nostalgia soundtracks.
Both Rudolph and A Charlie Brown Christmas are neck and neck for Best Holiday Special.
They should duke it out in an Epic Rap Battle of History!

I saw Vince Guaraldi live at
Bohemian Caverns, a black-owned nightclub in DC, in the late 60s. Bunch of white high school seniors waltzed right on in, and were cordially received, in the ramp up of the Civil Rights era. What a cool club (finally went out of business after almost a century not long ago) and Guaraldi -- what a great jazz pianist!
