The ads which caught the public imagination and laughter were like this:

It wasn't a bad product (there were better-tasting), but a damned good advert.

Grab your coat and get your hat
Leave your worries on the doorstep
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street

Love it. This is my favorite tune by my favorite player, with Miles Davis joining in!

This, as they say, is the shit!

Oh yes Buddy - not that arguably, he's the best.

The monster, mesmerizingly so (no tune here - his snare work at about 5:20 is amazing):

Those really were the days - amazing - not a battle, but a Paean to skill and taste.

Especially skill.
And usually well-presented.

I grew up in the 1960s and '70s which wasn't exactly the time of jazz popularity. On the other hand, I think I was the only person in my high school with a Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass eight track in my car.

I was playing in the house band at a well-known club. Kenny Ball and his band were the special guests one Saturday night. We played the first set, and then they played a set. And then the crowd wanted more. Kenny came out to the band room where we were waiting to go back on and said 'Hey, why don't we do a big band?' (Or words to that effect.) And so we did. I think there were six or seven of them. And five of us. No rehearsal, of course. But we played a couple of standards. And the crowd wanted more. In the end, we played for about an hour. Great fun.
