It sounds like something by Duke Ellington, or one of his contemporaries, but other than that, I cannot get anything out of that one... Another hint?

You call this "easy"? :-\

It reminds me of a recent American Express Blue commercial.

And like I said on another thread, how do you google music that doesn't have a lyric? LOL

Well you could go to Amazon and just start clicking around in the genre, get the Amazon listener up and keep on linking. I did that for a few hours the other day, trying to find this little number....

A few hours?  Gee, Daniel, I ain't got that kinda time.

With these, I think you either know it or you don't.

That's cool.  So, did you listen to a lot of Duke Ellington?

Not too much, I took Swing Dance for my P.E. requirement in college (the semester before they removed it from the degree plan, of course), and got a little bit of it. One of the most popular songs for Swing (2-step) is Sing Sing Sing (Benny Goodman)

An amazing drum solo in this performance.

I'm surprised (again) nobody has gotten this one.  Mainewriter is in the right direction.  The tune was made popular by the Looney Tunes cartoon series and used in several of them, most notably with two very prim and proper gophers.
