Vince Guaraldi was an American jazz pianist and composer. Born on July 17, 1928 in San Francisco, California, he made a significant impact on the jazz scene during his career. His music is known for its melodic and rhythmic style, often incorporating elements of Latin and bossa nova. Guaraldi's most famous work includes composing the iconic soundtrack for the beloved Peanuts television specials. He passed away on February 6, 1976 in Menlo Park, California.

Fantasy Records, established in San Francisco, California in 1949 by Max and Sol Weiss, is a renowned music label with a rich history. From their first artist, *Dave Brubeck*, to the iconic *Creedence Clearwater Revival*, Fantasy has been at the forefront of American rock 'n' roll. Under the leadership of Saul Zaentz and Ralph Kaffel, Fantasy expanded its influence by acquiring catalogs from prestigious jazz independents like Prestige and Riverside. The label's acquisitions also included legendary independent labels such as Stax Records and Specialty.

With an extensive catalog that spans various genres including acid jazz, folk, blues, and classic jazz, Fantasy's reissue programs have set industry standards. Their commitment to high-quality roots-based music led to the acquisition of labels like Takoma and Kicking Mule. Alongside their reissue programs, Fantasy maintains an active recording roster featuring esteemed artists such as *Sonny Rollins*, *Eric Alexander*, *Jimmy Scott*, and many others.

In 2004, Fantasy merged with Concord Records under the name Concord Music Group. While some operations remain in Berkeley, California, the label is now headquartered in Beverly Hills. Notably, John Fogerty from Creedence Clearwater Revival re-signed with Fantasy after leaving it decades earlier.

While the Peanuts comic strip appeared daily in newspapers across the world, Vince Guaraldi's music helped bring the gang to wider audiences through his jazzy Peanuts television and film soundtrack recordings. In early 1964, when Lee Mendelson began work on a television documentary about the world of Peanuts, he heard Guaraldi's Grammy(R) Award-winning instrumental hit 'Cast Your Fate to the Wind' on the radio, while crossing the Golden Gate Bridge. Mendelson knew he'd found precisely the right musical foil for Peanuts. Over the next decade, Guaraldi composed and performed scores for numerous Peanuts TV specials - including the evergreen 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' - along with a feature film, 'A Boy Named Charlie Brown'. Concord release 'Peanuts Greatest Hits', a 12-song survey of some of the most popular music from the Guaraldi Peanuts soundtracks.
