Tortoise - Glass Museum

Possibly the first ever one hit wonder?

He's a well respected 20th century composer but I have to admit I couldn't name another of his works.

I remember reading somewhere that the bloke who wrote Daisy Bell (Daisy, Daisy give me your answer do...,) had a massive 'hit' with it but was so hacked off with sheet music piracy that he sacked it all off. No idea if that's true or not.

Anyway thanks for this theme, gives me an opportunity to correct a glaring ommision from the recent jazz playlist.

Night In Tunisia - Dizzy Gillespie

Night In Tunisia - Dizzy Gillespie

Yea no disrespect meant in the slightest. It is a stunning piece of music. And he is a known and respected composer as you say, and many will recognise that melody. But his other works really are not that popular as multiple ones by others of the time/type.

It wasn't that flippant a post, if you think about it.

Apparently the original version of this was sufficiently rhythmically challenging that they had to abandon it because they couldn't get a take where they all managed to keep time.

They basically look like the coolest accountants to ever walk the earth.

Didn't think you were being flippant, was really just agreeing that despite his status it's pretty much the only thing us masses know him for.

Met Jan Akkerman in Amsterdam a good few years ago, he hit on my mate Paul.

is that right?
I'd heard he was up for a bit of hocus pocus.

I remember that Daisy tune. No idea who sung it, but memories of a drunken haze. It won't be a stylish marriage,I can't afford the Carraige"
I hope this is the same song you mentioned....
