Where can I find Good Cinematic Noir Jazz?
I very much enjoy the score of Taxi Driver by Bernard Herrmann and I also love the theme of L.A. Noire by Andrew Hale, but I haven't found much of this genre. I am currently trying to add to my very small playlist. Any suggestions are much appreciated and as a side note, I enjoy much of Avante Garde, Jazz Fusion, Bebop, Classical & Progressive. Thank You.
