Nervous Angular Longhair Thought this was going to be about cat breeds...

Wouldn't certain parts of Jones' 'Pawnbroker' qualify? Or is Waxman's 'Crime in the Streets' too direct? I'm sure Sol Kaplan has something up his sleeve.

Ooh, I liked this thread! In fact, it inspired me to create the term "Nervous Angular Shorthair, which describes the jazzy underscore often heard in films and especially TV shows of the 1958-1963 period, Well, that is precisely the period I'm describing, but "longhair" in this sense refers to traditional descriptions of "out" classical music, hence its use here. Completely understood. I would also add that the Nervous Angular Shorthair musically chronicles the hapless suburban shmendrik who makes his way through a Cold-War-at-its-height world, all to the magnificent strains of early Goldsmith and the like, only with jazz(y) underscore. Think the comedy episodes of The Twilight Zone and Eric Dolphy's Out to Lunch.

An album by Teo Macero and Bob Prince called What's New might qualify. Also, William Russo's Russo in London. Russo arranged for Kenton and taught Barry, Karlin, and others. Alex North's North of Hollywood is incredibly moody in a sleazy jazz sort of way. I'm sure I'll think of others. Oh, very under the radar is an excellent lp composed by John Neel featuring Plas Johnson on tenor called Blue Martini.
