To rescue Kahlo from the clutches of the corporate art market, we need to acknowledge the overt and covert political dimensions of the work, demands GAVIN O’TOOLE
Vince Guaraldi Trio
A Charlie Brown Christmas
(Craft Recording)
★★★★
THE soundtrack to the December 1965 Peanuts TV special in the US, A Charlie Brown Christmas, has become one of the best-selling jazz albums of all time, as well as the best known work of the Vince Guaraldi Trio.
In 2012 it was added to the US Library of Congress National Recording Registry for being “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.”
This reissue contains the original 11-track set, along with 13 studio outtakes. Yes, it’s a Christmas album — the choir-assisted My Little Drum and Hark, The Herald Angels Sing will get you in the festive mood — but much of it suits year-round listening.
New releases from Kneecap, Sam Blasucci, and Juni Habel
New releases from Ninebarrow, Amit Dattani, and Lonan
New releases from The Dreaming Spires, Bruce Springsteen, and Chet Baker
New releases from Toby Hay, Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Dobson & The Hanging Stars
