David Benoit - David Benoit Conducts A Vince Guaraldi Holiday Symphony [CD]

Celebrated jazz pianist and composer David Benoit delivers a grand holiday celebration with A Vince Guaraldi Holiday Symphony. Originally commissioned by the family of Peanuts producer Lee Mendelson, it brings Guaraldi's iconic melodies to life on a grand scale, with full orchestral arrangements conducted by Benoit and performed by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra.

Blending Guaraldi's classic charm and innocence with rich symphonic power, it's a holiday tribute to 75 years of Vince Guaraldi's musical legacy, from "Christmas Time Is Here" and "Linus And Lucy" to "The Great Pumpkin Waltz."
