Thank you Vince Guaraldi,Bill Boston,and Aaron Brask,plus all of the supporting musicians! This CD was just what I needed to hear on the day that I happened to first listen to it- perfect for relaxation. Yes, it does deserve your full listening attention, but it can also be used to simply soothe what needs soothing. This is the music that reminds us of of those great Charlie Brown comics, TV specials. and cartoons.

Aaron Brask does a great job of capturing the charm of the Charles Schultz characters. His playing is clear and light with facility and character. All of the supporting musicians are masterful performers. There is not much else to say about this CD except "get it." Unless you are an insufferable curmudgeon you will have a great time listening to it.
