Be the first to reserve your seats! Jazz at Lincoln Center members will receive VIP pre-sale access to this event starting December 13th. Become a member today and secure your reservations first.
If there’s one thing sure to put a smile on anyone’s face, it’s a visit from our friends from down the way on Sesame Street. A huge part of the show’s endless delight is its smart and playful music, and the Sesame band is loaded with real jazz musicians—including JLCO trumpeter Kenny Rampton and tonight’s music director and bandleader, Joe Fiedler.
All the jazz greats have visited Sesame Street. Our own Wynton Marsalis even dropped by to jam with Hoots the Owl and the Duck Ellington Orchestra! Tonight, Marsalis returns the hospitality and welcomes Sesame Street into our home, the House of Swing.
Music director and jazz trombonist Joe Fiedler is currently the main man behind the swinging sounds of Sesame. He has arranged more than 250 songs for the show and crafted thousands of the dynamic musical cues that make it so entertaining. He’ll be leading an outrageously fun band through jazz versions of classics like “Rubber Duckie,” “Pinball Number Count,” “People in your Neighborhood,” and “Magic Pig Calypso.”
To make the evening even more special, the 7:30pm set will feature a couple of songs with special guest appearances by Wynton Marsalis and Elmo—everyone’s favorite furry red monster. We have a feeling they might even play a song or two together! So make sure to claim your seat, and then come on down to the House of Swing for an evening of camaraderie and good-time tunes.
Joe Fiedler and his band will also play the music of Sesame Street for the 9:30pm set, which is after Elmo’s bedtime.
