    Don’t true crime “stuff” usually have background music already? But to answer your question, dark film scores. Check out music from composers like Jóhann Jóhannsson and Hildur Guðnadóttir.

            I imagine In a Silent Way would be incredible in a crime drama, for example over a murder scene, with all the other sound cut out and just that playing (more like "foreground music", if that's a thing)

                  Some reccs I would classify as "Jazz Noir":

                  Goodbye Pork Pie Hat (Charles Mingus)
                  Blue in Green (Miles Davis)
                  Cry Me A River (Dexter Gordon)
                  Sugar (Stanley Turrentine)

                    Obviously Miles Davis is the only answer, but only while watching Elevator to the Gallows because he composed and performed the soundtrack. Otherwise I just listen to the thing I'm watching.
