   • 2009 February 21, Nate Chinen, “Pop Music’s Perpetual Old Man, Now 74, Is Back on the Road”, in New York Times‎^[1]:

     (It should be noted that the flamenco-tinged flourishes by Javier Mas, on bandurria and laúd, were more palatable than the ardently cloying solos by Dino Soldo, on saxophones.)

2. A bird, the black-faced ibis.
