Full program notes

My name is Ken Miller, a classical and jazz bassist here in San Francisco. For the last few years I have presented the Vince Guaraldi classic “A Charlie Brown Christmas” along with the world class musicians; Larry Dunlap piano and Akira Tana drums. (Look them up, they are amazing).
This show runs about 50 minutes, and we have rounded out the evening with some hip jazz arrangements of Christmas tunes, plus a sing along of a few classic Christmas carols.
The show is narrated, is really entertaining, and suitable for children.
This year we are presenting this show at Pacifica Performances, and a private home. I am exploring the possibility of adding a show or two, so wanted to see if you may be interested. I am brand new to group muse, I believe my bio is posted there, but if not would be happy to send it along to you. Let me know what you think, and thank you for hosting music in your home!


Historical context

Vince Guaraldi's "A Charlie Brown Christmas" is a classic holiday presentation that we are presenting in its original jazz trio format. We are including a complete narration of the Charlie Brown Christmas story, along with projections of scenes as we move through the productions. The show is great music, funny, and great for families! We have presented this performance in several venues in the Bay Area, and now you can bring us into your home for a fun holiday celebration. Booking now for December performances.
