Joe Fiedler, an EMMY-nominated music director for the famed children’s show Sesame Street celebrates the release of "Fuzzy and Blue," which highlights an expansive trombone voice, richly interpretive arrangements and keen orchestration chops. DownBeat described the music's “diverse aesthetic,” in which Fiedler blends “elements of funk, rock, free-jazz and New Orleans polyphony into a potent mix that gives depth and texture to the lighthearted compositions.” A great jazz musician who blends the sober and the spectacular working with music from one of the most important cultural launching pads this country has created. Jazz and Sesame Street? Yes. Open wide. POPMATTERS An uncanny ability to blur the line between avant-garde and mainstream jazz. DOWNBEAT Fiedler pays indirect tribute to tradition while simultaneously turning the music inside out. JAZZIZ
