Crime Jazz (100)

 
Atomic Age logo with an illustration of a private detective holding a gun. Text reads

This time on the program, we’re hitting the mean street for a deep dive into crime jazz. Music with driving beats and powerful brass that invoke private eyes hitting the pavement or criminals running through back alleys of a city at night. It’s music that is filled with danger and intrigue, mystery and maybe even murder. Tunes for those who live a hard-boiled life, on the lookout for the next bit of violence. We’ll hear from Enoch Light, Irving Joseph, Skip Martin, and more.
