Apologies if this doesn’t belong in this community. I’m looking for something reminiscent of 40’s detective dramas. You know, the black and white feature films with the gritty detective crawling through the grimy undercity chasing down a serial killer sort of vibe, or maybe the grizzled taxi driver smoking a cigarette waiting out the rain in a New York alleyway kind of vibe. Perhaps a steel worker walking the lonely way home from a long day at the factory type of vibe. Any time I look on Youtube I get tons of hits, most of which I’m certain are AI, and I’m just looking for something real in a sense. Closest I found was a playlist called doomer jazz.

Edit: Hey thanks to everyone for responding! Def gonna check these out the next time it’s raining at night

    I think linking that “doomer jazz” playlist would be the best bet, to give others some kind of idea of the sound you are looking for.

    This is a total stab in the dark, but for me when I want that “coffee and cigarette in a New York apartment staring out the window at the rain in the early morning” vibe I usually go for Miles Davis’ Nefertiti album. Especially the title track might fit your vibe? Or at least my idea of your vibe? I know this is 60s and not 40s but I assume we’re not necessarily looking for something of the period?

      Here’s the playlist, I didn’t listen too far into it, but the first song of the first video is precisely the genre of vibe I’m looking for. Thanks for linking the playlist, that’s exactly the vibe I’m looking for!
