Chuck

And he started going to these jazz clubs in San Francisco, started playing wherever he could, little sort of, I guess not open mic, but open key nights or whatever you would call those.

And eventually got his first real gig playing the intermissions during Art Tatum shows at a club called the Blackhawk.

Yeah, pretty intimidating.

Yeah, he's awesome, by the way, if you're into that sort of Latin jazz thing.

He's probably the most famous non-Latin Latin jazz guy.

And the vibraphone is just it's it's it's well, it's a vibe.

It really is.

Yeah, same.

I don't know because they're not the guys who played on the Charlie Brown.

Oh, then no.

I think there were iterations of the Vince Giraldi trio over the years.

Gotcha.

Yeah, it was a movie in 1959, a French film called Black Orpheus.

And what he did was offer some sort of jazz arrangements of Brazilian music from that movie.

And it was called Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus.

And like he said, he stuck Cast Your Fate to the Wind here at the end.

It is, I'm sure you know this song, right?

It is an amazing jazz tune, and the bones of everything you know about the Charlie Brown Christmas special music is in Cast Your Fate to the Wind.

It's just this, I mean, I think, who was it that called it A Breath of Fresh Air?

I think that was the ultimate producer of the Charlie Brown Christmas special, Lee Mendelsohn.
