I totally agree! The "Eternal" album is a masterpiece, never getting the recognition it deserved/s.

I'm just getting into jazz and have musical tastes that run from classical to Eminem!
I was born in 1961 and when I was a lot younger, back in the early / mid 70s there was a late night TV program called Paris By Night, I think it was in black and white it's that long ago and was normally on @ 10:00 - in the UK that wouldn't have been much before the end of programs for the night I guess.
The theme tune has haunted me ever since then and is exactly the sort of jazz music I am looking for - late night walking through Paris a sort of "film noire" sound. I have spent a few hours looking through YouTube for it but no luck - does anyone know what it was called please?
If not, can anyone point me to anything of that genre svp?
Hoping to spend a lot more time here
Thanks

If you are still there ... the obvious candidate would be Miles' L'Ascenseur pour l'echafaud (Lift to the Scaffold), an atmospheric soundtrack to a classic French film noir(ish) from the late 50s, about a murder eventually revealed.

Miles and his (part-French) quintet recorded this by largely improvising to the projected film.

John Zorn did something similar to a film Thieves Quartet, in 1992 I think, Dave Douglas playing the "Miles" role (though his own man, in fact). It's on Zorn's Filmworks series somewhere - Vol. 4? This was the first recording by a group of four musicians that were to become the famous Masada Quartet.

In response to the original poster .....

Paolo Fresu.

Notably 'Wanderlust', and his various collaborations in Aldo Romano's Italian Quartet.

Enrico Rava/Enrico Pieranunzi - Nausicaa

Rava, also a number of tracks, Blancasnow, Bellflower, Diva (some versions), his Carmen album .... often more beautiful than gloomy.


Miles - various early tracks: Yesterdays, Nature Boy, Dear Old Stockholm ....

Dave Douglas - various tracks, including Sea Change (Charms of the Night Sky), The Persistence of Memory (In Our Lifetime), View from the Blue Mountain (Spirit Moves), ....

Nils Petter Molvaer can be soulfully pensive too (Baboon Moon), when he's not in a more rhythmic groove or explosive.


I quite agree about Booker Little (great) and Stanko (though to me he sometimes sounds more tragically miserable than sorrowful or reflective)

That's a few.
