His tunes have been a part of Christmas tradition for North American families for the past forty-nine years, close as an old friend, comfortable as an old blanket. Jerry Granelli, as one third of the legendary San Francisco-based Vince Guaraldi Trio, recorded what is arguably the greatest Christmas album of all time in 1965– the soundtrack to the animated classic “A Charlie Brown Christmas”. Today Granelli is the only remaining member of the famed trio and this Christmas season he’s on the road to share the story of the band that recorded the famous soundtrack. Part oral history, part concert, and part screening of the Christmas Classic with musical accompaniment provided by the Jerry Granelli Trio (featuring: Jerry Granelli – drums, Simon Fisk – bass and Chris Gestrin – piano), the 7pm performance on Thurs., Dec. 4 at Dominion-Chalmers United Church promises a family-friendly nostalgic romp, and an unforgettable Christmas concert. Granelli and his band will be joined on stage by the Cross Town Youth Chorus.
