Jody Nardone Trio “A Charlie Brown Christmas”
City Winery Pittsburgh Presents A Tribute to Vince Guaraldi on Stage on December 4th at 8pm
Charlie Brown: "Isn't there anyone who can tell me what Christmas is all about?" Linus: "Sure Charlie Brown, I can tell you what Christmas is all about...Lights please?" Get into the Christmas spirit and join us for a very special evening celebrating all the music from Vince Guaraldi's classic album, "A Charlie Brown Christmas," as well as many other Guaraldi and Christmas favorites from "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" and "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown."
Pianist Jody Nardone cites Peanuts composer Vince Guaraldi as one of his earliest musical influences and favorite jazz artists still to this day. Jody and his trio, along with Brian Allen on bass, and Chris Brown on drums will re-create and re-imagine all of your favorites from the classic animated 1965 TV special. A true labor of love, Nardone and band have done their homework. The trio's love and knowledge of Guaraldi's life and work is on full display, not just in the performance of classic tunes such as "Christmas Time Is Here" and "Linus And Lucy" but also in Nardone's stage banter and presentation of the entire program.
Now in it’s 8th consecutive year, Jody and the trio’s annual City Winery Nashville performance of this beloved holiday classic for adults and kids alike is always a heartwarming and festive evening guaranteed to get you in the spirit and keep you from "feeling depressed” and paying Lucy a nickel for psychiatric help.
