what style is this ?

I am looking for music that I have heard on various tv
programs. It is usually in movies or shows that take place
in the speak-easys' during the prohibition period. They usually are female singers backed by a piano or small band.
The singers are the low sultry voice types in slow to medium
paced songs. The most recent example that I can think of is
an episode of 'Sliders' where they were in a world that had
outlawed caffine. Remi was playing the piano for a black
female singer that sold caffiene in a speak-easy and also sang. This kind of music is what I am trying to find on CD. Can anyone help with suggestions, please ?

Malcolm McLaren "Paris" comes right-away as probably the most brilliant music "trip" there.
For future reference, you may cancel (as I did) to categorize music by styles -- it's just the music one loves or doesn't.

The album I've mentioned came out in 1995 on CD.
It's a double-CD certainly OOP already with one original version and another re-mixed version of the same album.
If you'll have a chance to catch this one, shoot me an e-mail and tell me what style of music is that.
I can also tell you more albums where it's realy hard to categorize since they're so unique.
