Hi jwmcevoy,

Thank you for accepting my findings as an answer  to your question.

I will re-post my comment for your convenience.


The following are postings from various forums:

"I'm looking for the music in the Volvo All-Wheel drive ad, with the
family of cars in it. It's sort of guitarish.
It plays here... Wait for the flash to load and it'll play a snippit.
I need author and title pls! Thanks."

"The ad uses 'Stock music'. Jazz #43 to be exact. There is no artist,
these clips are simply available to production houses in stock music
libraries."

Rainbow-ga thank you. Please make your entry an answer so you can collect.

jwmcevoy-ga,

If what Volvo has said about the track is true (and it likely is),
finding the artist/musician will be the equivelant of finding a needle
in a haystack.  Stock music cd's often come in sets ranging from
10-100 cd's.  In most cases, musicians who create the tracks such as
these give up their rights to ownership of the music in lieu of a
payment per tune or project.  They are rarely, if ever, cited on the
final product.

It's a great way for a struggling musician to keep the rent paid.  

However, GoogleAnswers is an amazing resource.  I wouldn't be too
surpised if somebody finds the answer.
