Jazz noir can include everything from classic rock, trip hop, classical, blues and new wave. It's really the noir part that's important; isolated, bluesie, dreamlike, moody, melancholic and menacing tones. Sit down, pour yourself a strong drink and listen to the heartbeat of the city.

Please flair your posts!

So what is jazznoir?

It’s mysterious, melancholy and menacing music by swingin' sax men and sultry sirens for hardboiled hepcats and leggy lookers. It’s late-night listening for luckless losers, and the soundtrack to strolls under street lights on foggy nights.

But it's not confined to any particular genre - we've had everything from classical to classic rock to trip hop in this joint - but more of a mood, a vibe, a certain sound...

You know it when you hear it.

It’s not just about music, either. Feel free to discuss & submit pics, clips, tv shows, stories - anything that captures the essence of jazznoir.

In the meantime, pull up a stool, smoke 'em if you got ‘em and do what Bogey tells you.

Reminder: this is /r/jazznoir, not /r/lofihiphop or /r/jazzinfluencedhiphop. That doesn't mean hip hop isn't allowed under any circumstances, it just needs to capture the feel of noir.

Sakurajima, by Under the Reefs Orchestra (dark surf jazz?)

Not sure if this fits here but maybe some of you will enjoy this band. I was also wondering if anyone recommend any other bands on Bandcamp that have this dark 'surf' guitar and baritone sax sound?

Free download codes for my album The Jazz of Shapes to Come, on Bandcamp.

The Jazz of Shapes to Come is an 8 track exploration of jazz [noire, free], dark ambient, overdubbing, looping, sampling, and improvisation.

I play EVERYTHING on it: woodwind, electric piano, hand percussion, tape loops, sampler, effects, etc. Hope you like it as much as I do.

You can them here: https://gaop.bandcamp.com/yum

Let me know if you need more codes, I'll gladly post em.
