Recommend some crime/spy jazz from the 50s and 60s

The kids were watching the Incredibles the other day, and the soundtrack reminded me how much I like the sound of crime and spy jazz from the 1950s and 60s. I know Henry Mancini and Quincy Jones' work but there must be many others. I already have the Rhino Crime Jazz compilation. Any recommendations?

P.S. I really like the sound when the surf guitar gets introduced sometime in the 60s. The soundtrack from the Spider-Man animated series of 1967 is a good example of this.

Thanks! Interesting station. But what's playing now is a bit on the eccentric side

 

John Barry! How could I forget? And it's got the surf guitar. Brilliant. Thanks.

 

Yes, John Barry records highly recommended. I also highly recommend Dick Hyman's "The Man From O.R.G.A.N", Al Caiola's "Sounds For Spies & Private Eyes", and any interesting LP in the genre of Spies and Private Eyes which catches your fancy.

 

"Bullitt:

Checkout all you can from Lalo Schifrin; an amazing film composer.

 

These are some really cool recommendations! Just what I was looking for. I am not well versed in French cinema, so I never heard of that Miles Davis soundtrack.

 

Mickey One by Stan Getz.

 

Yes, except for that polka number on side two!

 

One of the coolest soundtracks of all time.

 

Here you go.....have fun!

I want that for the cover alone!

 

I always thought that incidental crime movie/TV music greatly influenced parts of Miles Davis' "Bitches Brew". It's one of the reasons that I don't particularly like the album. I like the style but in its context.

 

Duke Ellington - Anatomy of a Murder soundtrack

 

Riz Ortolani

 

This one was released this year. It's pretty awesome! Contains obscure recordings made between 1967-1975.

 

Here's a box-set that is coming out next month. Should be of interest for all crime-jazz fans.

Cheaper if ordered from the uk.

I really enjoy this original soundtrack set http://www.amazon.com/Jazz-Film-Noi...UTF8&qid=1411212108&sr=1-1&keywords=jazz+noir

 

Same label

 

Yep. The series of boxes put out by moochin' is great for all these ol' jazzy soundtracks.

 

Any soundtrack with a Lalo Schiffrin credit is worth taking home, he did a lot of spy and cop movie soundtracks. I also love any Riz Ortolani and Enno Morricone soundtracks. They are all superb.

 

Thanks again for all the suggestions. I think I'll have enough for a long time, esp. if I get that 8-disc box set.
