  perfidious: I do not propose to discuss politics here; that said, <gazafan> should really take up his hypocrisy with <fredfradiavolo>, who insinuates politics on game and player games as a matter of course (ironically excepting Rogoff but for rare occasions), then points the finger.

  gezafan: The Gits with a live version of Precious Blood. The Gits were good recorded but I think they were even better live.

  Check It Out: <gezafan> The Gits were great. Mia's murder was a real blow here. She reminds me of a raw version of the Linda Perry from 4 Non Blondes:

  OhioChessFan: Brian Auger-Happiness is Just Around the Bend

https://youtu.be/qfxFxqa_K60?si=bcw...

Jazzy, fusion feel to this keyboard song.

  OhioChessFan: Sidney Bechet-Egyptian Fantasy

https://youtu.be/duJlOOJlV6U?si=ZLM...

Maybe the best clarinet player ever.

Jul-15-25  stone free or die: Being naturally inclined towards the contrarian, I always like to take opportunities like this to mention other worthies of the title of best ever...

e.g.

Pete Fountain - (various, see comment by <jfuzz9083>) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Vs...

Benny Goodman (of course) - Sing, Sing, Sing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mJ...

Not to say Bechet shouldn't be listed, also, of course.

Jul-15-25  stone free or die: Maybe <OCF> could post his favorite Artie Shaw?

  offramp: Do you know <Shopping List> songs?

Ian Dury did them very well. He did two songs that were very clever:
<Reasons To Be Cheerful>
&
<England's Glory>.
Both of these songs are very funny.

The best shopping list song is by Billy Joel: <We Didn't Start the Fire>.

  keypusher: < offramp: Do you know <Shopping List> songs?>

Since Cole Porter came up...

<Is it an earthquake or simply a shock? Is it the good turtle soup or merely the mock?
Is it a cocktail, this feeling of joy?
Or is what I feel the real McCoy?

Is it for all time or simply a lark?
Is it Granada I see or only Asbury Park?
Is it a fancy not worth thinking of?
Or is it at long last love?>

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYW...

There's <You're the Top>, <Let's Misbehave>...he had a million of them.

I don't know if REM still counts as modern, but <It's the End of the World As We Know It> is pretty good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Oy...

I guess <Man on the Moon> qualifies too.

  offramp: Sadly, I am not a fan of either REM or Frank Sinatra.
However I <do> like Frank Sinatra Jr.
Jul-16-25  stone free or die: <<OCF> Is Begin the Beguine too obvious?>

Well, I did <Sing, Sing, Sing>.

I'll put in a couple of other choices for Artie:

<Blues in the Night> - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5X...

(Not really as a clarinet showcase, but as a timepiece)

<A Foggy Day> - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5X...

Of course you're welcome to listen to the other songs over at the link.

  offramp: Two songs that are two peas in a <POD>.

A beautiful song, beautifully sung.
<Frank Sinatra, Jr., & Was (Not Was)>
<"Wedding Vows in Vegas.">. https://youtu.be/dmGIHcjtmBc?si=y3n...

A lovely and funny song by Declan McManus, a song that had the same cadence as the Sinatra/Was Not Was one:
<Harry Worth>

<...Or is it at long last love?>>

That is a great song, written in very difficult circumstances.

There is a film based on that song, <At Lost Long Love>. Burt Reynolds and Cybill Shepherd. Dir: Peter Bogdanovich.

The song and the film were cursed.

Reunion -Life Is a Rock

I worked with a guy who memorized it. Sang it for us 30 years later to prove it.

  saffuna: The Kyoto Tachibana high school band got slowed up at this year Rose Parade, so played an impromptu "Sing Sing Sing" in front of a small group of spectators:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9s...

At 8:50.

Here the band plays it on the opening straightaway, right in front of "Wicked":
