Not totally on topic, but a good little article here with vids:

http://www.openculture.com/2014/02/crime-jazz.html


Thanks, I'm on my way there now.

Here's an ancient thread which you may remember when young(er) me asked, "How Did Jazz Get Associated with Noir?"

http://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=34493&forumID=1&archive=1

Heck, I'll even bump that thread with the link you suggest. smile

I just wanted to say that I absolutely love this thread. I am definitely going to track down a couple of these records.

In fact, I loved this thread so much that I made a YouTube playlist of all of the selections made thus far on the thread: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpu_nn81cwdPxt3eJKMjiJbHQq0o3VjV5

Thanks for posting the article, William. I've got to go find those great old crime jazz compilation albums in my stax. There's no crime jazz like fake crime jazz!

Speaking of Crime Jazz, here's a "Johnny Staccato Series and Scores" thread that I was quite enthusiastic about! I've recently started a rewatch of the series.

Listening through all these great tracks is reminding me of the terrific Chicago record store and online retailer Dusty Groove. So for any nascent hipsters not already aware of this cracking location, with fantastic capsule descriptions of whatever they've got in stock:

https://www.dustygroove.com/

As Google says in search: Soul, jazz, Latin, Brazil, funk, acid jazz, hip hop, and lounge on vinyl and CD, hard-to-find imports, reissues, classic LPs, old school 12-inch singles, and funky ...

Doesn't fit the mold, but how about some German adventure film music from 1965 that sounds like crime jazz?

Great idea for a thread! Sorry I didn't see it sooner, to beseech contributors who haven't already done so to cite the albums from which these individual tracks derive. Please, and thank you.

I've always liked Quincy Jones 1969 album Walking In Space. There are two tracks that are really nice smokey pieces for a broken down private eye.

Track #4 - Love and Peace sounds like it could have followed Elliott Gould around on his Long Goodbye

Track #5 - I Never Told You seems to be ideal for Robert Mitchum to be treading the dirty streets, questioning suspects. It's co-written by Johnny Mandel and has cute Toots Thielemans harmonica support.

Then there's the ultimate Track #3- Killer Joe. I get shivers every time I hear this one.

IS IT JUST ME? DEPT.:

I'm afraid to ask, but am I the only one who sees a lot of blank space with no link in many of these posts, including the very first ones from Onya?

They all are ok for me.

It's not just you, as Graham Watt was asking about this over in his Nutmeg Caveman thread on the other side:

http://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=119652&forumID=7&archive=0

Perhaps the board's resident computer geniuses can sort it all out.

I see all the embedded videos just fine (iPad Safari).

And this classic by future film and TV composer Oliver Nelson could fit nicely on the "Peter Gunn" LP...

A tangential indelible from my childhood:

Freddie Hubbard- "Assunta"



Heard during a nightitme speedboat ride in some black & white 1964 travelogue glamourous heist film on the Riviera (use your fertile imaginations). The piano by Cedar Walton takes on a Vince Guaraldi feel...

James Franciscus, Jean Seberg, and Louis Jourdan star... wink

My number one source for records. I sold a lot of LPs to Dusty Groove back when I used to sell LPs.

I contest that the first 47 seconds of that clip are most definitely vintage crime jazz-worthy.

Here's another one, again tangential to Mr. Birri's intention for this thread but totally crime jazzy: Roberto Nicolosi's flamboyant score for the sword and sandal flick Colossus and the Amazon Queen (1960). I haven't seen the movie, so it's hard to imagine how this music could be appropriate for a peplum film, but I imagine the result is humorous at least.

Grachan Moncur III- "Evolution"

The "lost" cue which should have played in a film like Fail Safe or Seven Days in May. Sure, it's not crime jazz, but nuclear war is a crime against humanity.

This cue has such palpable, Cold War, end-of-world tension.

Speaking of an earlier entrant to this thread, Eric Dolphy's Out to Lunch's excellent cue "Hat and Beard" sounds like something one should have heard in one of the "comedy" episodes of The Twilight Zone.

"Hat and Beard"
