I remember there was thread on jazz tunes appearing in commercials a long time ago, but I couldn't find it (went through 20 pages worth!) but I remember hearing Dolphy's 'Hat and Beard' in a car commerical once, which was quite arresting. So anyway, I was watching TV today (what else is new) and a Ruby Tuesday's commerical comes on and I recognized the tune almost immediately-Its The Three Sounds' Live at the It Club-featuring Gene Harris and the tune is 'Funky Pullett'. Quite obscure choice of song for a burger commerical, and when I pointed it out to the wife, she's like oh, whatever. If you're not a fan of this music, then your average TV viewer would probably never catch it. Anyone else hear it?

The former Gene Harris Fanatic approves. :tup

Now I'll have to remember to un-mute the TV when that spot comes on.
