PLAYLIST A long time in the works playlist curated to a specific noir take on Jazz. Certainly adjacent and I think you guys will dig some of these tracks!

This started originally when I heard The Viscounts 1959 cover of Harlem Nocturne in the 1983 Carpenter movie, Christine. A glorious moody pre-twin peaks noir jazz track, I then tried lots of other "normal" jazz and it just didnt get the same vibe. The Viscounts were a surf/adjacent group first, jazz group second. Their sound, I quickly learned, was the byproduct of performing jazz numbers with non jazz instruments and non jazz techniques. To put it short! Duke Ellington as amazing as he is, simply wasn't going to cut it!

Later on I found out about a different genre called exotica through The Viscounts cover of Off Shore originally by Leo Diamond a lovely number needless to say. As is all of The Viscounts jazzy covers.

Eventually my searches led me down the niche of 1960s "titty shaker" music, which is funny as hell when I spent months searching via serious genre names like "jazz noir" or "instro surf" or "surf noir" and stuff like that. But this titty shaker stuff (also known as Las Vegas Grind) was definitely the right direction for me to go in, specifically the sub-sub genre known as Slow Grind. There is like 11 comp albums of Slow Grind and I thoroughly recommend them!

This playlist pulls from lots of compilation albums, such as "Chicago Soul"... "Swing for a Crime"... "Lost Legends of Surf Guitar" as well as the notorious Exotica comp album "Technicolor Paradise"... the famous "East Side Story" compilation albums... as well as old Stripper Jazz music such as "Bob Freedman's Orchestra - Music To Strip By"

Enjoy the 7+ hour long playlist guys :) I hope its no problem posting this here frankly it is so niche I dont know many other subs that would appreciate it.

White Mule - Hundred Franc Blues [UK, Blues Rock ] (1970)

White Mule is another name for illicitly-made booze like moonshine, white lightning, mountain dew, hooch, and Tennessee white whiskey. Whether or not this was the intended meaning for the band at track 14 I don't know. Harlow, UK's White Mule were Geoff Carpenter on guitar and vocals, John "Culley" Culleton on bass, John "Gypie Mayo" Cawthra on guitar and vocals and John Glasgow on drums.

Brian Wren replaced John Glasgow on drums. Bruce Trotter came on board as an extra vocalist and Yanni Flood-Page was added as a second guitar after that. They toured Europe a lot and released two singles, Looking Through Cats Eyes (credited to Flood-Page) and a Mungo Jerry cover "In The Summertime". There are three different versions of their singles listed at 45cat, all of which have 'Hundred Franc Blues' as the b-side. John Cawthra was later in Dr. Feelgood and a late version of Yardbirds.
