- KCSM
Jazz pianist and composer Vince Guaraldi was a mainstay in the San Francisco Bay Area from the 1950's through 70's. The composer of the hit, Cast Your Fate to the Wind and music for the Peanuts shows had a humorous, profound, and rather tragic story dying at the age of forty seven. Hear Guaraldi's story woven together with music and interviews with Guaraldi biographer Derrick Bang, musicians Eddie Duran, Colin Bailey, Larry Vuckovich, Dean Reilly, Richard Hadlock, and Peanuts co-creator Lee Mendelson. It's an original work written and narrated by Alisa Clancy, longtime audio producer, Program Director and Morning Drive time host at The Bay Area's Jazz Station, KCSM.
