Audio Advent Calendar #13: "Linus and Lucy" by Vince Guaraldi

Although Vince Guaraldi’s jazz pieces written for A Charlie Brown Christmas is now associated with Christmas (and recently, Starbucks), it was an artistic gamble at the time. Network execs were a bit iffy about airing a cartoon that:

  • Didn’t make use of a laugh track
  • Quoted a Bible verse
  • Used a jazz soundtrack by a then-unknown artist

But somehow, it worked, and A Charlie Brown Christmas is still considered to be one of the best-loved Christmas specials of all time. So here it is: Vince Guaraldi’s Linus and Lucy.
