Jacobson, York, and Schaub are masters of sound, touch and feel. This outing showcases them in a drumless trio format which allows for all three of their gorgeous sounds to be heard with clarity. It's a swinging record that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

-Dan Nimmer, pianist with Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra led by Wynton Marsalis

Special thanks to John Dye and the Estate crew for 9 years of hosting shows, to our beloved listeners, and of course Vince Guaraldi!

‘Twas the month or so before Charlie Brown and all through the jazz club, every creature was stirring– and they just… didn’t stop. The Commercialists always arrived just in time to bring a little light to your holiday, filling The Estate with all you can recall from A Charlie Brown Christmas and so much more. From poetry to ponderings, group chants to wild laughter, Anthony, Clay, and Patrick created a Milwaukee ritual out of the beloved music of Vince Guaraldi.

Together, we shared a few drinks, made a lot of memories, and danced like Chuck to the final number– and every year, we’ll do it again. This record is best paired with a Wisconsin Old Fashioned and the people you hold the most dear. Tidings of cheer to you– and to another Charlie Brown Christmas.

-Sam Pekarske
