    "To Anacreon in Heaven"

    The one before the All Star Game in New Orleans was great. The singer sang it mostly straight, a guitarist played some colorful chords to compliment it, and a clarinet was added for embellishment. I thought it was one of the best renditions I'd ever heard

    It wasn't a clarinet, it was Branford Marsalis on a soprano sax.
