Friday, November 28, 2025 - All hail ARTTATUM, not just a jazz pianist, a jazz *genius*
Description
This was a fine crossword by constructor -- aka SETTER, depending on which side of the pond you live on -- Jacob McDermott, for whom we are thankful for this entire crossword, but especially the revelation about SETTERS.
We found many noteworthy clues to sing about today. For instance, we had 44A, One-named rock idol who was born Paul David Hewson, BONO; the life-changing (trust us, it will, once you listen to him) 35A, Jazz pianist with a memorable recording of "Tea for Two", ARTTATUM; and the curiosity-piquing 4D, Genre for Toots and the Maytals, SKA.
This being Friday, we of course have a Fun Fact Friday segment that will be of special interest to fans of The Flintstones, aka everybody 😀
Show note imagery: ROSIE Cotton and Samwise Gamgee, who were married at the end of the Lord of the Rings.
