Hi folks,

I've made a little dark jazz playlist which could be described like this :

Have you ever had this mood when you feel like a lonely detective walking through dark streets in an old "film noir"? Here are some melancholic and relaxing tunes to go with your blue states.

Here is the link with the tunes : http://open.spotify.com/user/gillian_delvigne/playlist/7KleMJjTy4h5xy2xR3QgZP" rel="nofollow - https://open.spotify.com/user/gillian_delvigne/playlist/7KleMJjTy4h5xy2xR3QgZP

I'm always looking for new finds in this genre. Do you know some really good scores? If you do, feel free to share them.

Thank you very much for your attention!

This is a good playlist. You've already got all the songs I would have suggested and more!

I couldn't read your list on Spotify, but do you have this Miles soundtrack:

I think the soundtrack to "Taxi Driver' might be another, and there is always "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" and "Round Midnight" by Mingus.

There are also two CD collections you might want to check out:

"Crime Jazz, Music in the First Degree"

"Crime Jazz, Music in the Second Degree"

They are collections from crime movie soundtracks, some tracks are better than others of course.

not really a jazz, but probably could fit on your list
