    One of the most amazing concert experiences I've ever had in the fifty years I had been enjoying live music was shortly after Charles Shulz passed away in 2000. Bela Fleck and the Flecktones were in town. For the final encore, Bela Fleck came on stage alone, and played this tune at ~3/4 tempo, on solo banjo, with what felt like all the notes from both hands of the piano music. I don't think there was a dry eye in the theater.

      Similar experience, a friend and I went to see George Winston in Carbondale Co, in the mid- nineties. This was pre-internet, and I had this image of him as this old white bearded classical pianist. Well, out comes this much younger fella in his stocking feet, and rips into a rousing rendition of this song! Blew the roof off the joint!! Love that memory.

      The network wanted music more "appropriate" for children for the Christmas special, but the production team stuck to their guns about Guaraldi's sophisticated jazz score. Even as I child, I loved the music. So glad they decided to go with this instantly iconic soundtrack.

      ​@@xx_pcgamer_xx6866American jazz and blues music has its deepest roots in west African musical traditions carried over to the new world by victims of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. They both possess a rich cultural history both in the Americas as well as in Africa and if you listen to music from Africa today, you'll find variations on all kinds of musical forms that we intrinsically understand by virtue of being immersed in those traditions that eventually came to prominence in the early 20th century. These came to dominate the American musical landscape and became one of our most powerful cultural exports and tools of soft power in that century, and a large amount of music one hears today owes it's existence, at least in part, to those roots in African musical tradition. Its an endlessly rewarding rabbit hole to go down, at this point there is in fact close to a century's worth of recorded music in two of the three foundational pillars of modern North American music, jazz and blues (the third being the white American folk music that itself has its roots in the various European musical traditions brought over from all over that continent by the earliest settlers of the continent to the waves of European migration that occurred throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries).
