Can anyone tell me the name of the jazz song in the Lincoln Zephyr commercial. It's the commercial with the family riding through a neighborhood in Harlem, and at the end they pull up to a classic lincoln with Melvin Van Peebles inside. The poem "Dream Variation", by Langston Hughes is being recited. I really love this song, please respond if you know it. Here is a link to see the commercial. Thanks.

That doesn't sound ANYTHING like Miles... nor his band. Nor his recordings.
It's probably something recorded specifically for the commercial; not a classic record.
Sorry folks, It's most likely a jingle.

Tue, September 5, 2006 - 2:13 AMwell, i wouldn't say it doesn't sound ANYTHING like miles--although that trumpet sounds like a keyboard--it is definitely influenced by mr. davis.
i think it IS written specifically for the spot. "hey, can you give me a "miles-type" thang?" whoever wrote it has definitely listened to "kind of blue." -

Hmmm, I'm not sure that it's the same chord progression.
Are we talking about the same rekkid?

i think they should start mentioning that in the "fast-talking-because-they-don't-have-fine-print" part of the commercial.
"...this music was created specifically for this commercial, for more details check www.blablablah.com.."
