One year, Brown and Williamson's ad agency picked my song to promote the Kool Jazz festival, and asked me to help cast the performers for the TV spots. This one features Chuck Findley playing a blazing trumpet solo, Ernie Watts on tenor sax and Grant Geissman on guitar. I played piano. Interesting side note: the bass player was Andy Simpkins of The Three Sounds; the drummer was Nick Ceroli of the Tijuana Brass.
Very cool to see Nick Ceroli in later years! Also cool to see Chuck Findley playing a kick-ass solo. Chuck played the trumpet solo on "Close to You" from Carpenters.
