JAZZ NOIR - MENACING MASTERPIECES OF MURDER AND MYSTERY (3 CDS)

Few genres of cinema are as striking and iconic as Film Noir. A dangerous cocktail of crime, gangsters and femme fatales, the music that accompanied the pictures was just as devastatingly beautiful. Composers such as Henry Mancini, Alex North and Duke Ellington guide you through darkly lit bars and hazy streets on this 3 disc set.
