It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Re: Looking for "noir" jazz recommendations

It'll probably be tough to find entire albums of noir stuff. Maybe track recs would be more appropo.

Jackie McLean, Poor Eric (Right Now!), Love And Hate (Destination Out!)
Booker Ervin, A Day To Mourn (Freedom Sessions)
Bobby Hutcherson, Boquet (Happenings)
Cannonball Adderley, Primitivo (Jazz Workshop Revisited)
Andrew Hill, Alfred (Judgement!), Dedication (Point Of Departure), Love Nocturne (Dance With Death)
Yusef Lateef, Iqbal (Centaur & Phoenix), Purple Flower or Ching Miau (Eastern Sounds)
Kenny Burrell, Soul Lament or the t/t (Midnight Blue)
Wayne Shorter, Virgo (Night Dreamer), House Of Jade (JuJu)

A dark-sounding cd off the top of my head: Tomasz Stanko, Suspended Night. A great one IMHO.

You might also look for Gil Melle's Blue Note stuff from the mid-50s, particularly BN5020 and 5033, the Quintet/Sextet sessions. Tracks like October, Cyclotron, Venus, etc., seem like they'd fill the bill. Listen to some of the tracks if you have a chance.

Hope those helped somewhat, and good luck!
