The Vince Guaraldi Trio's "A Charlie Brown Christmas" comes to the Robinson Grand in Clarksburg the way it was made in 1965-- a jazz trio, playing the record complete and in order. The Pleaktunes Trio brings the piano, bass and drums of that session to the stage, so "Christmas Time Is Here" happens in the room, played by three musicians you can watch work. Behind the drums is Brian Wolfe, who grew up in Clarksburg, is on the faculty at WVU's College of Creative Arts and Media, and has recorded with David Byrne, Sufjan Stevens, Jon Batiste, and Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings.
