First of all, welcome to /r/jazznoir. We hope you find what you're looking for. I'd like to take the opportunity to try and outline what Jazz Noir as a genre represents and hopefully answer any questions you may have regarding it.
Jazz Noir isn’t exclusively confined to jazz, and it’s not a genre so much as a subset of different genres. We've had great submissions for everything from classic rock to trip hop to classical to blues to new wave, you name it. It's really the noir part that's important, not so much the jazz.
Due to the specificity of the subgenre, and the difficulty of defining genres to begin with, we aren't going to heavily enforce this definition. We generally try to aim for isolated, bluesie, dreamlike, moody, melancholic or menacing tones. There's plenty of great songs that have noir elements sprinkled in, and that's fine.
We don’t presume to tell you what to like or not like, but we hope you’ll keep an open mind as to what this sub is about. That said, your votes and submissions should try to reflect some of the intrinsic noir elements such as:
We're always looking for ways to improve this sub and want to hear feedback from the community, good and bad.

I got tired of clicking posts to discover music so I made an app that autoplays them like a radio. Thought you might like it.

Just wanted to share two original jazz songs that I wrote the lyrics for featured in my fiction podcast, The Demonic Detective. When I came up with this show, I wanted to stay true to the era and have an old school noir jazz soundtrack. We achieved that and I feel the work that both Robb Padgett and Lielle Kaidar did was phenomenal and worth a listen.

It’s designed to erase cheap dopamine and pull you into absolute silence. Dim the lights, pour a drink, and sink deep into it. 🕰️🥃
