Noir album recommendations


New member, looking for recommendations for great Noir/Jazz/Film Noir albums, Vinyl or CD. I really enjoy Miles Davis' Ascenseur pour l'échafaud , Chinatown''s soundtrack and more recent artists like Paul Pritchard(Gumshoe Blues, Stool Pigeon) but I'm having a difficult time finding anything that isn't just general Jazz. Really interested in music that evokes that down on his luck Private Investigator in a corrupt city where its always raining and you just cant trust anyone, including the dame that just walked in with a "simple" job.

This is the first I've heard of Noir Jazz but that Terence Blanchard is excellent!

@dayglow

Terence Blanchard followed Wynton Marsalis both New Orleans born but Wynton is an impossible act to follow.

I prefer Woody Shaw but can't think of any of his recordings that might satisfy the OP's specific parameters.
