Solving time: 12:27
Got the four 14-letter answers quickly; then the four 10s. After that, spoiled for choice as to where to look for answers. The large number of multiple-word answers also helped a (for me) fast time. London to a brick there will be a few sub-10s today.
NB: Jerry is away this week.

All things Gaelic seem to be in vogue at the moment: Erse, Gael, Irish and of course his Indian cousin Rishi, who popped up the other day.
‘Monteverdi’ was fairly easy, because he is one of two composers that contain another one. The second one is Offenbach.
Having grown up with Pink Floyd, I always would think ‘us and them’ and not ‘them and us’.
‘Sleazebag’ for COD, a great construction.

CoD: PANTOMIME HORSE
Is it just me and my hangover or is there a problem with the cryptic grammar in 11ac? “As can be” would work as the anagrind, but “as” is part of the fodder and I can’t see how the words “can be” do the job being asked of them.
Main delay was with SLEAZEBAG, because I had other, vaguely recalled words that might mean retreat, such as Ebenezer. I didn’t think of it as something “modern” until the checkers forced it.
I’d be interested to know if anyone got AS THE CROW FLIES from the cryptic – I got it from checkers and a penny dropping on the definition.
CoD to the bipartite horse
I’m sure we’ve collectively mused before about rap being described as “black music”. I expect the setter is perfectly familiar with the oeuvre of Mr Vanilla Ice, but chose (quite sensibly) to ignore it. (Seriously, I suppose we follow the lead of the MOBO Awards, which courts controversy in more radical quarters by issuing prizes to people who are plainly not of Black Origin, though their music is).
SHOOT THE BREEZE never feels familiar even though it’s come up in Jumbos a couple of times.
