We'll be back to our regular content very soon! But for Day 3 leading up to Christmas, we're revisiting some of my absolute favorite Christmas music of all time. Vince Guaraldi's 1965 soundtrack to A Charlie Brown Christmas. Enjoy.
you should totally upload more videos like this! maybe do a series where you take pop tunes or “mainstream” music and “jazzify it” or examine it and make it tasty or smthn idk! just wanna hear you play piano more :)
This is the Christmas song that instills the most nostalgia for me. Every year we’d watch the special on ABC and now PBS. It never gets old and this song and the version of Hark The Herald Angels Song they sing at the end are both iconic
As you get older this song gets better and better. Christmas time will always be in my heart, yet I long to be a child on Christmas morning once more. That powerful melancholic nostalgia is captured so well in this song.
Yo you killed it Charles. Realized recently that you will be remembered as one of the greats of our time. Funny how it all started with memes haha but seriously your playing is so legit and your influence is greater than you know, I hope to hear you continue to play for the next coming decades
Merry Christmas. I needed this encouragement during this time. I’m keeping my faith, but I’m Feeling so hopeless. I’m so alone I have no one that cares about me. So I’m crying out to my brothers and sisters in Christ for prayers. Me and my children are struggling because I lost my job over declining the vaccine I declined due to my pre existing health conditions lupus and heart disease. We are now facing homelessness. I’m a single mother I have nowhere to turn. I pray that God will hear my prayers and bless me. I must be patient. With it being the holidays my situation has really been bringing me down. I will continue to keep Faith in God he will provide.
Funny enough just scrolling along finding things to watch I came across this. It's Thanksgiving evening 2023 and THIS is the first Christmas song I have heard this year. I'm glad it was. 😊
i’d love to hear your rendition of the christmas song by nat king cole. it’s my favorite song of the holidays and i can picture you doing it beautifully
Masterful job. Vince would be proud. Interestingly enough, I’ve been practicing Guaraldi’s note for note version for the last couple months. I’m very much a beginner but I’ve got the first 38 measures memorized. My rhythm isn’t that great even playing with the original track in my headphones but it’s been fun trying to recreate his sound. I’m not worthy, Charles. Like Linus’ blanket, your cover shall keep me warm during these cold winter days.
Beautiful playing on a wonderful instrument, recorded perfectly to capture the acoustic depth and tonal sophistication of these instruments and Christmas classic. I feel like I’m back in the 60s, relaxing in a warm San Francisco night club, rain dropping softly in the city and light shimmering across the bay, While enjoying a smooth drink among close holiday companions. Merry Christmas.
Such a classic Christmas tune! Brings me back to my childhood where we would watch "A Charlie Brown Christmas" before opening presents. I recently did an A Cappella version of this and "Skating" since these songs bring such joy to the holiday season. Great job with this Charles! Loving these performances!
Of all the Vince Guaraldis you're the Vince Guaraldi-est. Really channeling the love of melody and the simple accessibility of the complexity of jazz that Vince brought to the people.
I wish I could play like you. This is the most jazziest, coolest, version of this song on UA-cam, hands down. Believe me, I've looked and have a Christmas Time Is Here play list going!!!! You take top honors. Wow!💖❤️👍
Was playing this song this very afternoon! Even with a bassist and a drummer, I don’t think I could match your talent. Merry Christmas from one Charles to another 🎄.
If you ever do Linus and Lucy I would be interested in hearing your opinion of the last flourish near the end where the top note sounds out of place. Maybe it’s just me. Thank you for sharing your amazing talents.
Bravo Charles I love this!! I wasn't sure for the first minute or so because I love the original so much, then you blew me away with your clean tight runs and I was a big fan right then on!
WOW.....my favorite version of the song by Vince Guaraldi and all around favorite Christmas song.. Vince would have been undoubtedly impressed if he were still with us. You guys are an awesome trio and what a nice treat. Would love to hear more. Happy Holidays !
Exquisite. This really demonstrates your love for this music. Perfectly executed. Matt was conducting his own symphony on the cymbals with those brushes!
I had no idea you were doing this Christmas special and I’m very upset that I am now only finding this well past Christmas and into the new year. Wow. Bravo. Well done
Nice work Charles! I loved your video on Vince guaraldi as well! I’m a player myself (been out of practice for a couple years but getting back into it!) and I really appreciate your content!
Simply Beautiful! Lots of love from Brazil ❤ Charles, Thank you for all the amazing content this year, you're the one that inspired me to learn musical theory and Jazz, let's hope for a good 2022!! and also Happy Holidays!
Delightful.... Whether 'tis sacrilege or not, I dunno... but some of your right hand improv is telling me it should be played on a Fender Rhodes -style instrument; the attack on some of the notes are looking for that tine sound... Thanks for posting another gem of a performance.

Enjoy we did
You should upload it to instagram as well!
So goood. There were a few moments where the trio was so in sync that I could hear Beato's jazz noises in my head. Uh huh... mmmmmm.... OOOOOOOO
This is the Christmas song that instills the most nostalgia for me. Every year we’d watch the special on ABC and now PBS. It never gets old and this song and the version of Hark The Herald Angels Song they sing at the end are both iconic
Same. You watch a lot of Impractical Jokers, right? I see you there all the time
im not even that old and i get nostalgia from this song because we had 4 peanut charlie brown movies and christmas was one of them
Hey there again
I just replying to replies on one of your comments on another video, the Olympics theme one
@@elqqat YOOOO yeah that can get super nostalgic. Like old home movies u had as a child?
Guaraldi would be proud to see his arrangement brought to life by such young talent. Bravo!
The dudes like 30 smh
@@noahmay7708 I mean, he was born many years later than Vince was even alive, so I think that would still be crazy for him.
As you get older this song gets better and better. Christmas time will always be in my heart, yet I long to be a child on Christmas morning once more. That powerful melancholic nostalgia is captured so well in this song.
This composition brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
I don't care if it's a Christmas song--I could listen to this year-round.
I’m listening to it in August!
Listening in mid October!
Agreed. I’m listening on 10/30.
Christmas 2022 is over and it's Jan 2023, still enjoying the Christmas tree and spirit ❤️🎄
2:59 almost a lick
Forget Christmas, I’m still waiting for the Great Pumpkin to come
Yo you killed it Charles. Realized recently that you will be remembered as one of the greats of our time. Funny how it all started with memes haha but seriously your playing is so legit and your influence is greater than you know, I hope to hear you continue to play for the next coming decades
I need this to be an album. This can be a staple for my family christmas.
It is an admonition against society that this only has 63K views in 2024. Great personalized wax seal on a beloved standard.

2:37 I remember Charles said that this lick was his TL;DR of Guaraldi’s playing, glad it made it into this take!
this makes me feel all warm and cozy inside
I love how with these covers from the Charlie Brown Christmas album, they mix it up with their own style instead of doing the same thing. Good job!
Gorgeous and somber rendition. R.I.P. Vince.
3:00 Charles playing with my emotions. Pls don’t tease lick. Tease lick bad.
Absolutely love this song. Chill vibes, children's memories, peace and love on Earth and... Wait, was 2:59 almost the lick!?

A real classic. Vince Guaraldi knew exactly what he was doing.

Dang, guys! Lost my breath at 3:40! THANKS for sharing!!! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
My school jazz band played this. It was a very beautiful arrangement but I have to say yours takes the cake.
I’ve been listening to this song all month long I love it so much
Of all the Vince Guaraldis you're the Vince Guaraldi-est.
Really channeling the love of melody and the simple accessibility of the complexity of jazz that Vince brought to the people.
I love when you post music
Absolutely stunning
Was just working on this piece! One of my favorite jazz/christmas albums covered by one of my favorite artists, Merry Christmas!
Every Christmas time, I look for this song in UA-cam. A very special song and you play it so beautifully. Thank you! Listening from The Netherlands!
I wish I could play like you. This is the most jazziest, coolest, version of this song on UA-cam, hands down. Believe me, I've looked and have a Christmas Time Is Here play list going!!!! You take top honors. Wow!💖❤️👍

Beautiful Christmas Joy....thank you
My absolute, all-time favorite Christmas song. And you guys played it wonderfully. Ya did Vince proud.
My favorite Christmas song ever. What a wonderful cover!
I love this kind of content just as much as the song reviews.
If you ever do Linus and Lucy I would be interested in hearing your opinion of the last flourish near the end where the top note sounds out of place. Maybe it’s just me. Thank you for sharing your amazing talents.
Thanks for this beautiful performance Charles. Here’s hoping you have a very merry Christmas, happy holiday and fantastic new year :)
This is making my last day of work before Christmas bearable. Cozy even.
Unironically one of my favorite songs of all time.
Bravo Charles I love this!! I wasn't sure for the first minute or so because I love the original so much, then you blew me away with your clean tight runs and I was a big fan right then on!
WOW.....my favorite version of the song by Vince Guaraldi and all around favorite Christmas song.. Vince would have been undoubtedly impressed if he were still with us. You guys are an awesome trio and what a nice treat. Would love to hear more.

Awesome. Love that you brought in the same push on the melody as Vince did
Beautifully realized; well done.
The best one yet!
Thanks @Charles Cornell for introducing some of us to Vince Garauldi’s music! We need more covers like this 👏🏻
Favorite Christmas song and you nailed it.
Oh boy I need this as a mp3 download
An all time classic! You three nailed this rendition, thanks for making my day a tad bit warmer!
This is the best Christmas song for sure.
You should do this more often
This past July we lost Jerry Granelli, the drummer of the Vince Gauraldi trio. Their music lives on!
i was wondering why it had little vews. it was literally posted minutes ago. awesome stuff!
This is so perfect.
That solo though! Beautiful rendition of a great tune!
4:45 makes me think of the end of d’angelo’s “send it on”
They not knowin! 👀👌🏾
Exquisite. This really demonstrates your love for this music. Perfectly executed.
Matt was conducting his own symphony on the cymbals with those brushes!
Always a favorite ❤️
just started the vid, and already love it. Merry Christmas
