Jean-Pierre Rampal

Jean-Pierre Rampal (1922-2000) was a celebrated French flautist who guest starred on The Muppet Show episode 510.
Rampal is credited with recovering Baroque period compositions and popularizing the flute. He became an international celebrity by the 1960s and frequently performed at Lincoln Center, including their Mostly Mozart Festival. While best known for his classical performances, Rampal also dabbled in jazz including recordings of Scott Joplin and George Gershwin.
