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.

Jazz at the Movies Band-- White Heat: Film Noir.  Audiophile vinyl if you can find it.

Try the Miles Davis and John Lee Hooker soundtrack to the otherwise entirely forgettable film, "The Hot Spot". I own a copy and, last time I checked, it was on Apple Music if not other streaming platforms. It's quite reminiscent of "Ascenseur" with a Hooker twist.

David chesky "jazz in the new harmonic" has that eeriness you're looking for with top notch sound and instrument separation
