VA - Completely Jazz...Noir! [2018] (3 x CD's)

Few genres of cinema are as striking and iconic as Film Noir. A dangerous cocktail of crime, gangsters and femme fatales, the music that accompanied the pictures was just as devastatingly beautiful. Composers such as Henry Mancini, Alex North & Duke Ellington guide you through darkly lit bars and hazy streets on this 3-disc set.   This 3-CD set is a well-curated set of some of the best, mood-setting crime jazz out there. It's an outstanding set, regardless of the rock-bottom price. For the money, it's a definite "must own". There are no liner notes (which is part of the reason I still try to buy actual CDs versus digital downloads), but the digipack is well put-together. Many of the best performers of the era are represented here on studio recordings, some of them create a special mood of classical jazz noir sound. (Amazon)

A great collection, which will please all fans of this genre, covers the jazz scene of several decades at once. For those who want to enjoy jazz noir from its very origins to more modern recordings, this disc is a must to listen to.
