Trombonist/composer/music director Joe Fiedler is known to critics as “among the most impressive trombonists to emerge in the past couple of decades.” (Harvey Pekar, Signal to Noise)

Based in New York since 1993, he has performed and recorded in a long and eclectic list of musical settings ranging from jazz (Andrew Hill, Charles Tolliver) to the avant-garde (Anthony Braxton, Cecil Taylor) to Afro-Caribbean (Celia Cruz, Eddie Palmieri) to pop (Marc Anthony, Jennifer Lopez).

In addition, Fiedler is the leader of the groups New Quartet, Open Sesame, the Joe Fiedler Trio and Big Sackbut. His diverse discography features more than 150 recordings, including thirteen as a leader.

For the past fifteen years Fiedler has also served as “Music Director: Arrangements/Orchestrations” (working as composer, arranger, orchestrator and trombonist) for Sesame Street, garnering two Emmy nominations. Over fourteen seasons he has written hundreds of arrangements and crafted more than 10,000 underscoring cues.
