THANK YOU MODS!!! I knew it was a remix from the 50's...it was driving me crazy! (I negated Parker entirely because, well...there was no sax. Not that that should matter; he wrote it. Funny how our brains work with stuff like that.). Thanks again.

Bumping this thread with "extreme prejudice"!!! It's interesting so many folks are looking for the name of the tune/artist as well. I'm so driven in finding out I've emailed TCM via their FAQ/Suggestions area; if I get a response I'll post it on all relevant threads as well. I mean, it's not as if I can go down to my local pub and hum this tune to friends trying to find out. (Kinda' hard to do with piano/rim shots, no lyrics, etc. I'd try if I thought I could pull it off but I'm sure I come across as rather crazy...) Meantime, cheers y'all

Update to my query below: The "spot" during which this piano riff is playing is the "Star of the Month" promos (ie. this month it's Lucille Ball...) Is this music/piano Count Basie, perhaps? I'm completely stumpted! Again, all help greatly appreciated. null

In one of the (newer) TCM promo spots, (those promo/commercial spots they run between movies), there's some very groovy piano music playing; it sounds very familiar, like late 50's/early 60's bebop-type stuff. It's at first a jazzy solo piano riff, then a bit of snare drum/high-hat comes in... Anybody have any idea what this music is? It's extremely cool, and I'm busting me brain trying to figure out who it is! Any ideas? All help greatly appreciated!!! e2a: And no, it's not that "Sunny Side of Life" bit; it's a newer jazzy-piano thing that's only been on for the last few weeks.
