==Posthumous revival and releases==
In 1996, New Age pianist [[George Winston]] released ''[[Linus and Lucy: The Music of Vince Guaraldi]]'', a tribute album that marked the beginning of a posthumous revival of interest in Guaraldi's work.<ref name="pphtgua">{{Cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=w6lJAAAAIBAJ&pg=6164%2C1041315 |newspaper=Bangor Daily News |location=Maine |last=McGarrigle |first=Dale |title=Pianist pays homage to Guaraldi |date=October 19, 1996 |page=C1}}</ref> The album featured numerous ''Peanuts'' compositions, many of which had never been released by Guaraldi himself. Winston, captivated by Guaraldi’s distinctive compositions, remarked, "I love his melodies and his chord progressions. He has a really personal way of doing voicings."<ref>{{Cite news |first=Tina |last=Maples |title=Music Just Happens To Winston |newspaper=Milwaukee Journal Sentinel |date=November 20, 1996}}</ref> Winston added, "His music is part of our culture, and we know it even if we don’t know Vince. He had three bags: the Latin, the ''Peanuts'', and the impressionistic 'Cast Your Fate to the Wind' stuff. And those three bags are all his."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://concord.com/artist/vince-guaraldi/|title=Vince Guaraldi|website=Concord}}</ref> The album's success prompted the release of a second volume, ''[[Love Will Come: The Music of Vince Guaraldi, Volume 2]]'', in 2010,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.georgewinston.com/recent-projects.php|title=Recent Projects at George Winston official website|website=Georgewinston.com|access-date=July 7, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090205185344/http://georgewinston.com/recent-projects.php|archive-date=February 5, 2009|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref> with a third volume, ''Count the Ways: The Music of Vince Guaraldi, Volume 3'', planned but unreleased following Winston's death in June 2023.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://impressionsofvince.blogspot.com/2021/02/valentines-day-treat.html|title=Impressions of Vince: Valentine's Day treat|first=Derrick|last=Bang|date=February 11, 2021}}</ref> Reflecting on Guaraldi's contribution to the ''Peanuts'' franchise, [[Lee Mendelson]] noted during Winston’s tribute releases, "Several generations have now grown up with Vince Guaraldi's music. If people hear just one or two bass notes of the intro to 'Linus and Lucy,' they cheer. The ''Peanuts'' programs and Vince's music were such a wonderful marriage. It's a shame it got cut off so soon, but people like George are perpetuating it, for which we are very appreciative."<ref name="liner">{{cite web|title=George Winston: ''Love Will Come'' Liner Notes|url=http://www.georgewinston.com/us/liner-notes-love-will-come-music-vince-guaraldi-volume-2|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140312200446/http://www.georgewinston.com/us/liner-notes-love-will-come-music-vince-guaraldi-volume-2|url-status=dead|archive-date=2014-03-12}}</ref>▼

Building on this resurgence, Guaraldi's son David began securing licenses to release previously unreleased material from his father’s personal reel-to-reel session tapes.<ref name="Bang" /> This led to the release of ''[[The Charlie Brown Suite & Other Favorites]]'', an archived 1969 live performance of the seven-part "Charlie Brown Suite". Subsequent releases included ''[[Oaxaca (album)|Oaxaca]]'' (2004), ''[[North Beach (album)|North Beach]]'' (2006), [[Vince Guaraldi and the Lost Cues from the Charlie Brown Television Specials|''Vince Guaraldi and the Lost Cues from the Charlie Brown Television Specials'', Volumes 1]] (2007) and [[Vince Guaraldi and the Lost Cues from the Charlie Brown Television Specials, Volume 2|2]] (2008), ''[[Live on the Air]]'' (2008) and ''[[An Afternoon with the Vince Guaraldi Quartet]]'' (2011).{{sfn|Bang|2012|pp=318, 349, 351}} The discovery of Guaraldi's original master recordings in 2017 was a pivotal moment for reissues of his work, most notably the recovery of the long-lost 1969 ''[[A Boy Named_Charlie Brown_(soundtrack)#A Boy Named Charlie Brown: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack|A Boy Named Charlie Brown]]'' movie soundtrack. In 2018, [[Concord Music]] announced plans to release a highly anticipated soundtrack for ''[[It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (soundtrack)|It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown]]'', believed to include original recordings. However, the release featured tracks culled from the television broadcast with dialogue removed but sound effects intact, as the studio master tapes were still missing, resulting in disappointment.
