Classic Sesame Street: Hoots welcomes Wynton, Duck Ellington and Count von Count at Birdland

May 9, 1991
Sesame Street (Season 22, Episode #2874)

Hoots welcomes everyone to Birdland, and introduces Duck Ellington and the Sesame Street All-Animal Jazz Ensemble, with special guest Wynton Marsalis. They perform a new version of “No Matter What Your Language.”
Wynton says he’s ready to do not one number, but twenty, maybe even more. He has help from Count von Count, who counts every little rapid note he plays on the trumpet.
At closing, Hoots, Wynton, and the animals play the Sesame Street Theme. Hoots mentions the sponsors.
