Try john coltranes music. He's exceptional.

Blue train is my favourite.

Yoko Kanno & The Seatbelts. Or more specifically the soundtrack for Cowboy Bebop.

Yeah. There's a whole lot of that on the album.

Maybe some Steroid Maximus would tickle your bigband-noir fancy?

Might be a bit dark [or "Looney Tunes nightmare sequence"] for your liking, but who knows:

 

[lunarwolf]

think you are looking for jazz like swing/big band

maybe something like Count Basie

or maybe a Duke Ellington remix by Dizzie

Thanks guys. Just the type of stuff I'm looking for, especially that Cowboy Bebop ST.

Any other recommendations?

You want an album called Soundtrack by Guy Barker - it basically exactly fits your description!

It's a not-quite-big-band (9 or 10 piece) lineup, playing mostly Guy Barker original compositions that he wrote as a film score to an imaginary film-noir movie.

Give it a try

I hope that the name of the genre as "upbeat detective jazz" gets adopted.
