I'm walking these lonely streets at night, the rain falling in sheets from a midnight sky. The city reeks of gasoline and broken dreams. A grim reminder of the bad things I've seen and the worse things I've done. Up ahead, I see the telltale glow of a neon sign, a beacon of light in this God forsaken place. The sounds of a jazz trumpet fill my ears with a soothing melody. I walk in. Maybe, tonight, I will be able to forget her. Maybe....
So glad I just discovered this! You've got some really great sounds. I'm a huge film noir fan and jazz guitarist so I play a lot of torch songs. And this collection is the perfect ode to my favorite Mike Hammer quote, "She was blonde all over."
WOW. You've got it down so perfectly, Nick. Yesterday after hearing your part 1 of this I went on a hunt for similar Film Noir Jazz and I found a majority of them do not have that film noir vibe at all. Just slow jazz. But I hear your stuff I start seeing foggy dark alleys and hearing off-screen detectives monologs about their travails.
Another winner, Nick. You have truly great songwriting skills. These are rock-solid tunes, with great instrumentation, and expert playing. Please consider a 'Volume 3' somewhere down the road!
Big fan of your first jazz noir collection here on yt, this one is just as good. Did you play all the instruments that weren't brass as well? Excellent stuff!!👌
Thank you! I played live saxophone, bass clarinet, clarinet, flute and guitar on this. The trumpet was played using a midi wind instrument and a patch, and all other instruments are digital, played by me on a MIDI keyboard.
Nick your fantastic music helped me get into the zone of Noir as I wrote my first novella. Which I have completed in what I refer to as The Penultimate Draft, an hour ago. Subject to an objective edit from a literary professional. Then on to publication. It is my homage to the genre based on a play I wrote and staged 35 years ago. I would like you to know you will be added to the Thank You List. Lo these past seven months I have listened to your music as my Detective entered Fairfax Manor or The Wookie Wookie Room. It was my soundtrack as he walked down dark and dangerous NYC streets. Dodging death while numerous others meet their maker enroute. BTW, any thoughts on composing some 30s music? In my next novella the backdrop is Hollywood in its heyday. 😁Cheers! RDW
Wow, it is an honor to hear that! I am happy to be involved in some small way in your creative process. Many thank yous for the kind words. I'll let you know if I get the inclination to write 1930's noir!

it really grabs you from the first trumpet lick. Excellent noir feel throughout. Very mysterious and "she was a dame you couldn't trust...."

I haven’t heard that quote but I love it - thanks for the kind words, really appreciate it
Absolutely beautiful like the last one you my friend hold a lot of talent in your arms 🔥🍸
Thank you so much for the kind words! Glad you’re enjoying both videos
Been waiting for another one of these for a couple months now...
And im just as impressed as i was with the last one.
Cudos.

Love this stuff
Great, and more vintage sounding than the first one
Really, your Jazz themes in the style of Noir films are the best I've seen among many collections on RUclips. It's just what one would expect to find
One of the finest jazz works I've heard recently (along with the vol. 1), dead serious

What a WONDERFUL sound and atmosphere! For thinking, contemplation and silence. I love this kind of jazz. Congratulations!😘🌹
I wish you good luck and much success.
Great job! This noir Jazz is perfect for intellectual work. Many thanks!
awesome job, i love this kind of music
I love stumbling upon cool stuff like this. Terrific work and such a pleasure to enjoy your music.

@@NickTorrettaMusic Keep me in the know, Bro.
5 months ago???
What the hell youtube?
Nick, thank you!
This is the best! Will there be a Volume 3? ...
I'm afraid not for the time being. I'm focusing on a chill lofi bossa nova album instead.
