Hi folks,
I collected some tracks from the arabic jazz world. A little taste of the Middle East through jazz sonorities...
Please have a look and don't hesitate to suggest me missing tracks or artists : http://bit.ly/2oGCpJ2
Thanks!

Here is a collection of tracks exemplifying the essence of a melancholic night of solitude. Jazzy trip-hop/electro tunes filled with ambience and quiet mood. Perfect for a late night drive (or a solo night in). As the city sleeps, allow these tunes to keep you company.
All suggestions are welcome!

Thank you page. I will explore all your suggestions!

"Black Coffee" by either Peggy Lee or Julie London.

THANK YOU!!

Jazz for the inky black stain of shadows once the clock get on the wrong side of midnight.

Yes. To be honest I understand the inconvenient of my playlist. It's not a "long string of one générique after another", but it's the repetition because every music is in the same calm mood with same instruments. But I like it so.
And here are two other playlists more dynamic.
L'heure du crime :

I know it. You were kind and BBS too. Maybe I seemed offended but I'm not. ( I'm no so fluent in English, sorry). I only wanted to clarify my way of thinking and my approach about this playlist.
The experience you speak about is very interesting, indeed.

Hey!
Thanks for this good feedback.
Actually, I'm not a purist. I didn't want to follow the jazz history or stay loyal to a genre in particular. I called my playlist "film noir" but what was really important for me was to create a dark/noir mood ; the one of the lonely detective walking alone through dark streets. I wanted to put some tracks together to inspire a long, lonely and melancholic ride. I agree with you, it's something out of my mind and my imagination (but maybe a collective imagination also) and who has never existed.
I'm making another jazz playlist who will be called "L'heure du crime/the time of the crime" (excuse my French). Inside I will put other tracks, more frightening, more striking and more dynamic. It will be a different face of the "film noir". As I created "Femmes fatales & Detectives" with warm women voices. What is important for me when I listen to music is to see pictures, scenes and to travel through notes... I love music when it takes me for a ride.
If you look to my profile picture, you will see a smoking cat who's called Blacksad and who is a character in a "noir" comic strip. And so, you would say : "oh! that's not correct, in a true film noir, there aren't speaking and smoking animals...". The creators took the genre's codes and did something else with them.
As Alexandre Dumas once said: "Yes, I'm raping History, but I make so beautiful babies with".
(Sorry for my poor English...)

Yes "Ascenseur pour échafaud" and I put the "generique" in my playlist. The whole album is very good but I had to choose.

Thank you!

There she is, a curvy shadow angled on the frosted glass of your detective agency door: the femme fatale who needs your help, all smoldering eyes, peek-a-boo bangs, full shapely breasts and legs up to her neck. You're broke and she's hiring... Will you take the case?

Where is the Payton's version of "Chinatown" to be found? I really like Terence Blanchard's.
On his album "Into the blue". Here : http://www.allmusic.com/album/into-the-blue-mw0000783324

I already put this one from taxi driver : http://www.allmusic.com/album/into-the-blue-mw0000783324
And for the other one, I'd like to keep the playlist instrumental, but maybe I will put it in my "Femmes fatales & Detectives" playlist. But it's not perfectly the same theme. I drive a hard bargain, I know... The Carly Simon's version is perfect for its atmosphere.
11 hours ago, JohnJ said:'The Big Nowhere', 'The Long Goodbye' and other tracks from this CD have a definite film noir feel.
Thank you for this discovery. I feel that I will like the whole album. But as I said, I would like to keep my playlist in an instrumental mood. I will surely use these songs elsewhere.
Edit : I know, my playlist on youtube is not up-to-date compared to the spotify version. Finally, I deleted the few songs with lyrics and I put them in the other playlist I was talking about. I will fix this.

Thanks for your recommendations!
I already put "Always say goodbye". I could add Haunted heart too. But I try to put no more than 2 times the same artist in the playlist.
I added Bob Belden's Black Dahlia. Thanks!

Here is a playlist I did in this genre.
