I went the jeopardy route by mistake.

[JohnS]

I flunked on the Surman, should have remembered that one.

What happened to q.83?

[BruceH]

Yeah, we got the answer to #83, but not the question.

[brownie]

The Guardian gave the answer to item 83 but omitted the question.

The question, of course, was "What jazz guitarist has never been in my kitchen?"

Mike

Question #76 read: Which rarely used member of the saxophone family was the preferred instrument of the British musician who made the album How Many Clouds Can You See?

Which would (if I'm not mistaken) call for "baritone saxophone". "Rarely used"... hmm... I suppose relatively speaking...

The answer clearly states that John Surman is a rarely used member of the saxophone family.

I thought that was his record, so I said soprano. Isn't that Surman's "preferred" instrument?

I thought it was: Which well-known jazz guitarist from the 60's has a name that corresponds to a mixture of blue and yellow and rhymes with "jean." (It was one of the giveaways.)

re John Surman

His great grandmaiden name before becoming proper Cornish and adopting Withwhychle was Miss Saxopone - relative of Adolphus

[GA Russell]

I missed Surman and Betty Carter.
