To recap, the goal is to compile an ever-expanding list of jazz artists who've recorded a) original tribute compositions honoring Guaraldi; and b) covers of Guaraldi compositions other than "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" and the Charlie Brown Christmas quartet — "Linus and Lucy," "My Little Drum," "Christmas Is Coming" and "Christmas Time Is Here" — because they've long been popular targets.
Once again, the Mechanical Licensing Collective's Musical Works Database, which can be accessed here, has been the most help. The advantage is the ability to search by composition and composer: quite useful with respect to some of Guaraldi's more generic titles. (As the most obvious examples, several people have written songs called "Joe Cool," "Peppermint Patty" and "Pebble Beach.")
The following list represents new entries since the previous February 2024 update, which also have been added to the master list in the aforementioned March 2021 post. I've also turned this ongoing post into a section of my permanent Guaraldi informational web pages, for easier access.
And I'm pleased to note that "Great Pumpkin Waltz" continues to gain in popularity!
