• Pocos géneros dentro del mundo del cine, televisión o novela han sido tan llamativos como el llamado "cine negro" o "novela negra". Peligroso y excitante coctel de crímenes, detectives, gánsteres y mujeres fatales donde la música suele siempre, incluso en la novela, tener su relevante papel. Para la gran y pequeña pantalla este protagonismo ha quedado patente y grandes músicos han desarrollado riffs y melodías de gran potencia e inspiración que subrayan el suspense y son suspense en sí mismas. Devastadoramente precisas las composiciones de Henry Mancini, Alex North, John Barry, Duke Ellington o Miles Davis, todas ellas enraizadas en el género jazz. Duración 1er Cd, 52 min.; 2º Cd, 64 min.; 3er Cd, 63 min.
