I also feel inclinded to say something by Dave Brubeck. Time Out is the obvious choice. Though I must admit, I enjoy other Brubeck albums more...like Time Further Out and the carneige hall concert.

At the risk of too many cliched choices, I think very highly of Don Ellis, and this may be his masterpiece album, It really sound good on vinyl.

I don't know if there is a "best" Mingus album as music tastes tend to be subjective, but if you check the previous posts, many have listed their favorite.

I heard Black saint and Sinnner Lady and would agree that has to be a masterpiece - amazing atmospheres and jazz explorations on a concept theme - very NOIR JAZZ - is that a genre??

I like noir jazz too, I'd call that a description, not a genre.

Yes, amazing atmosphere - perfect word for it.
I like that word choice 'description' rather than 'genre' - although, it might be fun to compile a bit of a list of artists who do use the noir feel. One day I will investigate |

My list of favorite noir jazz artists would be:
Duke Ellington Charles Mingus Henry Mancini Quincey Jones I know there are more, probably even forgotten in my own record collection, so I will try to add more later. I also have a couple of CDs that are labeled "Crime Jazz", these tend to feature soundtrack composers who use noir jazz in their soundtracks. For the rock fans out there, Robert Fripp's early version of King Crimson was laden with noir jazz, or what I like to call "crime jazz".

For example, what composition do you mean? |

If your talking about "noir jazz", for Ellington and Mingus, pretty much anything, it runs through their music. For Mancicni or Jones, check their crime soundtracks, such as the well known "Pink Panther" for Mancini.

Also the entire 'Black Saint...' album (one I never seem to get tired of mentioning) is very noir indeed
