Jazz in TV Soundtracks

[Kevin Bresnahan]

I was watching the ABC TV show 9-1-1 today (S8 E12) and there's a scene with one of the characters (Eddie) driving an Uber. The soundtrack they chose for the vignettes of his drives is Lou Donaldson's "Alligator Boogaloo". I would guess it played for several minutes as a soundtrack to his drives. It actually fit, so kudos to the director who chose it.

I like that show. It's a series of morality plays. . . I enjoy them.

At the end of the Apple+ TV show Severance, Season 2, during the credits they played Work Song (even if it was sung by Bobby Darin). They played several other jazz tunes in the show.
