Anyone know the song/artist from the new American Express Blue (Amex Blue) TV commercial? I recognize the song, but they only use the music, not the words, so I can't remember the name of the song or artist. I have only seen this commercial in December of 2005, so it is pretty new.

Someone has to know this. I don't think it was composed specifically for the commercial, but I guess I could be wrong.

Wait, is this the commercial that talks about "free rewards" and the song is half orchestral half clearly synthesized music? Because that's definitely not "Puttin' on the Ritz"

The only version of Puttin On The Ritz that I know that comes close to this description is a one hit wonder from the 80s by the name of Taco.

I don't know if this will help or not, but I did find this news release from last year, which states, in part:
Sting Stars in New National Television Ad to Promote Music Education; Elvis Costello, The Strokes, Stevie Wonder, Counting Crows, Jewel and Dashboard Confessional to Jam in Exclusive Cardmember Events
I'll keep looking...

Are you guys talking about the Am. Express commercial that has the music with whistling in it? That's the one I'm wondering about . . . I think that's the newest one, but it's shown on CNN all the time (and I watch that channel religiously) and I think it mentions the rewards program or whatever. If that's the one you're talking about, that's not Puttin' on the Ritz . . . not at all. But if it's not, no clue. Would like to know what it it is, though. Kinda sounds jazzy and it has whistling in it.
Finally got the details (albeit 3+ years later). The music was composed by Machine Head (www.machinehead.com) in Venice, CA. It does sound a bit like Taco's version of Puttin On The Ritz mixed with Murry Head's One Night In Bankok. I was able to get a copy of the video w/music.
Note - Machine Head (founded by Stephen Dewey) is a very talented group of people and has been responsible for some very creative and innovative tracks. AMEX alone has used them on numerous occasions.

I'm not sure if this is the one you're referring to, but I searched high and low on the Internet for probably 8-9 years for this, and finally found it yesterday. Credits and other info are available only to subscribers of the site, but at least you can preview it here:

If this isn't it, good luck with your continued search.
Lori - I don't know if anyone will be reading this, but you nailed it. That is the ad and the tune. I actually got a copy from Machine Head after calling them a few years back. They are a talented bunch! www.machinehead.com
