Description
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of The Muppet Show, Seth MacFarlane shines a spotlight on one of the most beloved and enduring songbooks in popular culture. Featuring timeless favorites from The Muppet Show, the classic Muppet films, and Sesame Street, the album reimagines these unforgettable melodies as lush orchestral jazz standards inspired by a classic era of vocal recordings. The album features songs by acclaimed writers including Joe Raposo, Paul Williams, and Jeff Moss, with spectacular arrangements by Andrew Cottee. Conducted by John Wilson and performed by a world-class orchestra recorded at Skywalker Ranch, these songs are brought to life with the sophistication, warmth, and swing of the classic American Songbook. Both a heartfelt tribute and a fresh musical interpretation, the album celebrates the wit, emotion, and extraordinary craftsmanship that have made the music of the Muppets resonate across generations.
