Funny article, usually of a musical nature (7)

I believe the answer is:

recital

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'usually of a musical nature' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'funny article' is the wordplay.
'funny' is an anagram indicator.
'article' with letters rearranged gives 'RECITAL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for recital that I've seen before include "Soloist's performance" , "Concert by soloist" , "One's performance" , "Public performance of music" , "Verbal account" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
