Peanuts: 1960's Collection (2009) (DVD)
Reviewed by Colin Jacobson
"In terms of extras, we find one documentary. Vince Guaraldi: The Maestro of Menlo Park runs 36 minutes, 55 seconds and includes notes from executive producer Lee Mendelson, bassists Dean Reilly and Seward McCain, composer’s son David Guaraldi, composer/pianist David Benoit, drummers Colin Bailey, Mark Rosengarden, Jim Zimmerman and Vince Lateano, solo pianist George Winston, guitarist Eddie Duran, vocalist Kitty Margolis, and Tonight Show Band veteran Peter Woodford. “Maestro” offers a biography of Vince Guaraldi, with some emphasis on his musical career and his Peanuts work.
Going into “Maestro”, I expected a quick puff piece. Imagine my surprise when I encountered the moderately lengthy and detailed “Maestro”. We learn quite a lot about Guaraldi’s music and get some nice details. This offers a solid little program."
