The Alex Murphy Trio plays Vince Guaraldi's jazz score from 'A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving' at Rudy's Jazz Room in The Gulch.
The Alex Murphy Trio is bringing A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving to Rudy's Jazz Room in The Gulch, with two shows on the books: Saturday, November 21, at 5:30 PM and Monday, November 23, at 6:00 PM.
The set is built around Vince Guaraldi's jazz score for the Peanuts special A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, which first aired in 1973. If you remember the special, it's the one where Charlie Brown tries to host a Thanksgiving feast for his friends and ends up stumbling through mishaps and laughter on his way to the true meaning of gratitude. The music is the same kind of warm, understated jazz that defined the Peanuts specials, and it's what the trio will be playing live.
At the front is pianist Alex Murphy, a Chicago native who grew up in a musical family and studied at DePaul University under Ron Perrillo and Dana Hall. Before landing in Nashville, he played some of Chicago's jazz staples—the Jazz Showcase, Andy's Jazz Club and the Green Mill—alongside artists like Nicholas Payton, Dave Douglas and Bill Charlap. He's spent the last few years building his following here in the Nashville scene.
