Christmas Time is Here - Jerry Granelli Trio

[@rexross7086]

You can't do Christmas without Charlie brown

[@AdkRanchLife]

Impossible!!

[@susand.7112]

My eyes swell with tears everytime I hear this song by either Vince G trio or Jerry trio. Putting away Christmas decorations and still listening to Christmas songs. Such deep heartfelt memories of a childhood long past. Im 67 now....nearing the end for sure. More beautiful past memories than future memories for sure. Loved my innocent and safe childhood.

[@RC-Flight]

The last standing survivor Jerry Granelli of the trio has passed away at the age of 80 July 20 2021 The Peanuts music was the soundtrack of my childhood!! RIP Jerry!!

[@peterharrison5833]

Late to your post, but it's Christmas time now (Dec 10th) and I just want to thank you for posting that. He was a great part of the VG Trio. Ditto, RIP Jerry.

[@Apollocreed2076]

I didn't know this sad news until I read this comment. Thank you, Jerry Granelli. God bless you.

[@pf5658]

It’s sad that we have lost all the greats of the jazz world. Good thing we have a place like YT to at least get to enjoy great performances like this.

[@jackziemer8538]

wow had no clue thought vince did it all on his own

[@boomerguy9935]

The brushes always reminded me of walking through deep snow on a winter's night. The tempo is perfect and the constant touch of the brushes swishing on the head while caressing the cymbals is comforting. It reminds me of walking on a snowy night in the winter in the little country town I grew up in. Wonderful!!!!! Thank you, Jerry. I know you're looking down and smiling on the effect you have on us who enjoy your music.

[@swapmeetsheriffdonknottexp3046]

Man. Just tears. If u can't feel it ur not human.

[@radio645]

As many times as I've heard this song, from the original broadcast to now, I can't listen to this without tearing up, so many memories come to mind. This is even more special seeing the original drummer performing on such an icon song, it's not Christmas without hearing this at least once during the holidays.

[@janesna7953]

My favourite piece that's played every Christmas time at home. Timeless!

[@hotriffsofthrash]

Agree 100%

[@billgee02]

This song is walking thru the park at night and looking at all the Christmas lights thru the trees ... perhaps a little light snow ... back in the day when you could walk thru a park at night ...

[@boomerguy9935]

I lived in a "Charlie Brown town" in the country and this reminds me so much of walking safely at night through the snow with my friends, having the same kinds of conversations that Charlie Brown and his friends had. I lived in the right place, at the right time, with the right friends. Where would we be without the memories of Peanuts and these songs?

[@boanerges6886]

This music reminds me of a better time for my family and this country

[@AureliusH2O]

lol

[@gibsondrummer]

This always makes me cry

[@everettking6115]

What a master drummer he is. Fantastic touch and feel.

[@joejoesguitarinventions]

played during Christmas or any other time... this is a jazz masterpiece

[@brianbentley4386]

Absolutely! This tune moves me like no other!

[@timbiglow5154]

Quality drumming, so impressive.

[@tedfeast]

I cannot listen to these songs and not instantly smile. These songs will forever be entwined with some of the most magical joys from my youth.

[@nyterpfan]

I shed tears every single time I hear this masterpiece--so beautiful and introspective--(to quote Antonio Salieri in "Amadeus") "the voice of God."

[@jayfrnka4664]

I've always felt this is one of the most beautiful Christmas songs ever, with or without the vocals. This performance is exquisite! Pretty much anything and everything the Vince Guraldi Trio was a masterpiece.

[@swapmeetsheriffdonknottexp3046]

Yes

[@paulslavich8550]

One of America's finest pieces of music, ever!

[@pf5658]

This session should have been made available on CD. I’d buy it in a heartbeat. 😊

[@pennybaker6454]

He is a master, always. ❤

[@edwarddavis3655]

Jerry is so smooth here beautiful brush work and serving the song with a touch that is amazing letting it breathe making it look so easy , this tempo is very difficult to master 🌲🌲

[@anniec1550]

This song is timeless....absolutely ❤️

[@danieldemaris2975]

Man. Life is so beautiful

[@DCDura]

Rest in Peace Sir, your sound will be with us all forever.

[@everettamador9870]

now Jerry is back Playing with Vince...R.I.P

[@Ron239]

These Jerry Granelli videos in tribute to the music of Vince Guaraldi are treasures!

[@rexross7086]

I keep coming back to the classics, but what I'm seeing is Schroeder on the piano pig pin on the bass and Snoopy playing the drums. And let's not forget Linus's rendition of what Christmas really is.

[@michaelbarton5169]

Loved going to the annual Christmas concert in Halifax. Wonderful, happy memories. Jerry was not only a great musician, but also a great story teller. RIP, Jerry.

[@jonathanbrody4119]

Nothing more brings you back to your childhood then this so incredible Magical one of the best pieces of music in history

[@louisef.9137]

Gorgeous version of one of the most beautiful tunes ever...love this!

[@MannyRosa]

How can any rational thinking person give this a thumbs down! Christmas just can’t be Christmas without Charlie Brown.

[@lola9343]

Dear God, I pray that there's a decent recording of this performance somewhere.

[@mgutierrez4444]

Just perfect

[@julianlennon5312]

Perfect fireplace christmas music

[@MichaelRei99]

Must be such an incredible honor for those two to play with the legend!

[@kirks.1854]

Great job! It's wonderful to see Jerry still going!

[@stephenmason5773]

Such a masterpiece, Jerry is absolutely brilliant ,

[@amtrakatsfnyc2387]

This is a stellar performance of a composition by stellar composer. Yes, Christmas Time is here when this piece is performed. Thank you for sharing.

[@julianlennon5312]

Vince and company put the "merry" in christmas with this tune.

[@robd2650]

This is the first time I've heard Jerry, & I think one of the things that makes his playing so great is his passion for the music! Evident in this piece, but also in some of the other postings that are a little more up tempo etc.

[@richbutcher4466]

Well, if you watched the Charlie Brown Christmas cartoon when you were a kid, then you've heard him before because that's him playing on the original sound track with the Vince Guaraldi Trio!

[@annabellethedoll4032]

It wouldn't be complete without Charlie Brown's Christmas tree on the stage... Music is just beautiful...I listen to the Charlie Brown's Christmas soundtrack every year, without fail.

[@jesusmartinramos5136]

¡Qué maravilla de trio! (DEP,Sr Jerry Granelli)

[@sting1111]

Those magical brushes...that’s the sound

[@boomerguy9935]

I've been playing brushes for over 50 years and I still haven't mastered them the way Jerry Granelli has. Brushes are so underrated.

[@orkycathcart6397]

SO COOL SEEING THE CHARLIE-BROWN FAMILY WITH LUCY AND LINIS , REALLY BRINGS ME BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD DAYS WHEN READING THE COMIC STRIP IN THE NEWSPAPERS !!!!

[@orkycathcart6397]

I CAN ALMOST VISUALIZE LUCY HOLDING THAT FOOTBALL ONCE AGAIN FOR CHARLIE TO KICK , AFTER HE FINALLY TRUSTED HER TO HOLD IT !!! HAHAHAHA !!!!

[@Collateralcoffee]

@@orkycathcart6397 DUDE YOU NEED TO STOP USING CAPSLOCK!!!! That is like yelling at people, and very impolite.

[@scottrodman802]

Who cares if you use all capital letters or not ,stooge

[@arvidlystnur4827]

How can a percussive instrument sound melodic? Answer: Jerry Granelli!

[@Lorenzo1950]

Some of the cleanest brush work I have ever seen. I think Jerry was about 25 when he recorded this for the soundtrack.

[@inova11901]

I so agree, the brush work is so underrated and under apprecated.

[@Ratboy2004]

Colin Bailey played the drums on the original recording.

[@richardbrucemusic]

According to both Wikipedia and AllMusic, it was Jerry. Where did you get that it was anyone else?

[@richardbrucemusic]

@@Ratboy2004 Monty Budwig and Colin Bailey played bass and drums on "Greensleeves".

[@MC5EVP1981]

Nice version. So sad Vince passed so young.

[@Neildo430ci]

That intro was a great start to this beautiful Christmas classic.

[@earltbird8642]

Ranks right next to Santa and the original Miracle on 34th Street in conveying the spirit of christmas.

[@stampscapes]

What a great trio

[@ЕрлицкМистер]

Наслаждение

[@johnwriterpoet1783]

One of my favorite Christmas songs!

[@scottybeegood]

what a treasure

[@fweddyfwintsone4491]

Beautiful!

[@rhythmista7707]

If he ever comes to the Montreal jazz fest, I'm there faster than you can skate a figure 8....

[@willburton6622]

Love that album and show....

[@dcab6447]

Watching the solo on the bass, I know where they got the voice for the teacher on Charlie Brown.

[@80sruler]

Soooooooothing

[@madjazzmike]

Very Nice , smoothie version etc cheers & Best wishes to All😜💕🌈

[@JonathanWirth-c3p]

Production ideas have a goodnight

[@jonballesteros3299]

Genius

[@joeayala4812]

I was just wondering if the gentleman that is playing the piano is he the character Schroeder? This is really Exquisite music at its best!

[@gregorywilson9322]

Chris Gestrin on piano...

[@mikefranks6854]

I don't even think that guy was alive when the original was recorded lol pretty sure the drummer is the only original to play with Vince. Great trio none the less

[@markusbrogle7603]

Schroeder only plays Beethoven :)

[@vistalite]

Michael J. Fox on bass.

[@RodBeauvex]

'Geri' from Geri's Game on drums.

[@gregorywilson9322]

Looks like Simon Fisk...

[@scottrodman802]

Not shaking enough

[@lukewalkeroa2137]

Santa Claus on drumz

[@johnwriterpoet1783]

I love it, but I think it would be hard to play in time without a solid beat.

[@janesna7953]

Beautiful song played by real artists. Just too much noise (coughing, baby crying, etc) in the background to saturate in the beauty of the music

[@Tuxedo2680]

Great playing, too bad about the lousy acoustics.

[@thomasl.4081]

The bass sounds strange...

[@boomerguy9935]

Don't blame the bass. It's perfect. The acoustics of the stage are terrible.Been there, done that. With the proper setup, this would sound much better. I played drums with these same acoustic instruments and the sound could come out a hundred different ways. These guys are wonderful!
