Cool!

I saw this commercial and said the background music like something I've heard. I didn't figure out it was Lee Morgan.

[CJ Shearn]

I saw that some weeks back, and thought that was great.

It's actually Blakey's record, but it's Lee's tune "Calling Miss Khadija".

Great stuff, Freddie and Woody liked it too.

[Chuck Nessa]

Let's get some cash for our "stuff".

University of Phoenix is a dubious institution but hey, kudos on the music! Great tune.

Can we create a compilation of Lee Morgan tracks not appearing on his own albums? Prompted by listening to Joe Henderson's Mode For Joe, and hearing Lee's composition Free Wheelin'.

I knew "Miss Khadija". She was bassist Steve Davis' wife and McCoy Tyner's sister in law.

I think I knew her too if she's the same lady who owned a dress shop on St. Mark's Pl. in the '60s right near the Five Spot.

i'm wondering who gets royalties on Lee's tunes.

I heard this last night. Usually I mute ads or fast forward through them, but caught the tail end of this and backed up to hear the whole thing. Not a lot there, but it's nice that somebody at Madison Avenue remembers.

I assume you mean the Dodge commercial featuring "The Sidewinder"? I saw it multiple time in the mid 1960's, but I seem to recall that it did not use Lee's recording of the tune. Somebody may correct me on this.

[JSngry]

Don't know if this is the original, but...

And hey, here's Phil Woods!

JImmy Smith's 'Organ grinder swing' was used in several Renault ads around 2000.

There was another using the record, with a Clio smashing through a huge pane of glass as Grady Tate crashed his cymbal to push JOS into an even higher chorus, but I can't find it.
