“A passionate musical innovator” —Smooth Jazz New YorkGrammy-nominated pianist/composer/arranger David Benoit is one of the founding fathers of contemporary jazz. And he owes it all, as it turns out, to Charlie Brown: Benoit recalls being bitten by the jazz bug after watching a Peanuts special on television. “I was already a fan of the comic strip,” he says, “but when I heard that jazz piano trio, that was the defining moment when I decided that I wanted to play piano like Vince Guaraldi.”
Now, more than 50 years after the classic animated special first aired, Benoit—who has been the official composer for the new Peanuts TV specials for over a decade—performs his own Christmas originals along with the beloved Vince Guaraldi classics. Special guest Courtney Fortune joins Benoit for this holiday tradition at Montalvo that is sure to delight!
