So Quintet is the word, because Sir Cliff and Cecil both played in one (many) and Paul wrote a classic for one?

Meantime, pressing on....

This R pulls together some recent topics: linking Sir Cliff with Sir Charles Hallé and plain old Mr L.C.Lambert.

or they all played with Quartets making them Quintets!

eg Curzon with VPQuartet playing the Trout
Aronowitz with the Amadeus in Mozart's Str Quintets
Paul Desmond originally in the Dave Brubeck Quartet but Rejoined them alongside his 'replacement' Gerry Mulligan in the 1970s.

I've been around the internet with this one, looking for the most obscure Qs, but it was staring me in the face! (Sort of)

Curzon, naturally!
