The Adams isn't Nixon in China is it?!

Still no hits, pals. And I fear you're getting colder (after a warmer patch earlier on...)

hh, no I don't know that Adams tape piece - sounds intriguing. Recording?

No idea. It was just listed on Grove and I thought it looked interesting...

So the link is to the title of Rhapsody in Blue.
The link isn't a single word (like 'blue'), but IGI was on the 'right lines' with Offenbach's Barbe-Bleu.
I'm assuming that there is something about the Gershwin which links all the others to it (so if it was just a colour connection, that would not be sufficient).

Aha!! Well done, Anty. And they're off.

Both of those are correct!
