The Pebble Beach Theme
The Pebble Beach Theme - Jazz Ensemble
Item number 8899115CC, $40.00

The music of Vince Guaraldi is always melodic and fresh. You will probably recognize this from the Charlie Brown TV specials. Arranged here in a moderate samba style, the opening theme is played by a small combo with background figures played by the full ensemble. "The Pebble Beach Theme" includes solo opportunities for any combination of alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, or trumpet.
