I've noticed I've been playing lots of songs that feature clarinet lately. Goodman, Shaw, Boilermakers, Edmund Hall, Eddie Shu, Albert Nicholas, Barney Bigard, etc etc.
Don't know why or when it started. It's weird as I remember maybe 7-8 years ago distinctly hating clarinet.

Peter is pretty much known for his soul sets these days. He did the same at RAF. He was in the bar at Herrang last year where they played soul/disco for at least one night.

I understand the principle, but I think my point is - can you really do this from thousands of tracks, or is better to have a shortlist, actual or mental?

All of these sound like songs that are more appropri...
