Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Yellow lines are region sum lines. Digits along a line must sum to the same total in each region the line enters. If a line enters a region multiple times, each instance is calculated separately.
Digits must increase from the bulb to the tip along thermometers.
Solution code: Row 1 followed by column 8 (18 digits no spaces)

I've been looking at this beautiful puzzle for nearly a month now, postponing my resolution for no truly valid reason except being afraid to throw a kwak in it and break the harmony of a nice jazz solo. Solved it listening to Miles Davis' Kind of Blue, and the music behaved well even when I was stuck for a few minutes, so I suppose I didn't throw any audible off-pitch notes in the process. Thanks for the sizzling solo!
