The
Great
Pumpkin,
Charlie
Brown
(Music
from
the
Soundtrack)
features
some
of
the
most
iconic
tracks
in
pop
culture,
including
the
instantly
recognizable
“Linus
and
Lucy,”
as
well
as
the
languid,
lyrical
“Great
Pumpkin
Waltz.”
The
music
was
recorded
on
October
4,
1966
at
Desilu’s
Gower
Street
Studio
in
Hollywood,
California
by
Guaraldi
(piano)
and
his
longtime
friends
and
trio
sidemen
—
bassist
Monty
Budwig
and
drummer
Colin
Bailey
—
joined
by
Emanuel
Klein
(trumpet),
John
Gray
(guitar)
and
Ronald
Lang
(woodwinds).
The
entire
scoring
process
was
overseen
by
composer,
arranger
and
conductor
John
Scott
Trotter,
well
known
for
a
three-decade
run
as
Bing
Crosby’s
music
director
and
close
friend.
The
slowdown
of
the
pandemic
gave
the
Mendelson
family,
(Lee
Mendelson
was
the
Executive
Producer
of
the
TV
Special),
an
opportunity
to
dig
deep
through
their
archives
and
they
discovered
what
were
previously
thought
to
be
lost
to
time:
the
original
analog
session
reels
for
It’s
The
Great
Pumpkin,
Charlie
Brown.
What
you
will
hear
on
most
tracks
of
this
new
and
improved
“best”
version
of
It’s
The
Great
Pumpkin,
Charlie
Brown
are
the
musical
cues
as
recorded
by
Vince
and
crew
before
they
were
edited
for
the
television
special,
in
show
order,
as
well
as
a
selection
of
alternate
takes.
