Sesame Street Dinosaurs

Do you know how to get to Sesame Street? Or more precisely, do you know how trombonist Joe Fiedler - an accomplished jazz improviser and bandleader with sideman credits including Andrew Hill, Charles Tolliver, Satoko Fuji and a host of others - became a music director and arranger for one of the most beloved children's shows in television history?

The Sesame Effect details the wide-ranging work of Sesame Workshop and its productions across the world. With an emphasis on impact and evidence from research on projects in low- and middle-income countries, the book tells the stories behind the development of an international family of Muppet characters created for the locally produced adaptations of Sesame Street.
