Vince Guaraldi Christmas featuring George Caldwell Trio

Come immerse yourself in the Christmas spirit with music by the legendary Vince Guaraldi performed by George Caldwell Trio. If the name Guaraldi doesn’t instantly ring a bell, you’ve surely heard the holiday standard “Christmas Time is Here” and his signature melody “Linus and Lucy” for the TV adaptations of the Peanuts comic strip.

Imagine this performed by Buffalo-based legend, George Caldwell. His experience spans to the Count Basie and Duke Ellington Orchestra and he presided over the ivory 88s for the Basic Orchestra when the group won a “Best Large Jazz Ensemble Performance” Grammy in 1996.
