A Glimmer Amidst the Shadows : Diner Noir

A musical story, guiding you with chords and melodies.

Our first exclusively Jazz album !

This project is part of the "Stinkin' City" musical universe, along with "1991" and another unnamed upcoming project.

Musical Style: The album combines smooth jazz, with sultry saxophones and, blues with its soulful lamentations, and the early rumblings of rock 'n' roll, reflecting a mix of despair, defiance, and a glimmer of rebellion.

Narrative: In the rain-soaked streets of Stinkin' City, a jazz musician turned detective, Alex Solitaire, navigates through the city's corrupt underbelly to solve the mysterious disappearance of a famed singer, Ella Nightingale. His journey takes him through dimly lit diners, speakeasies, and jazz clubs, where he encounters a cast of characters each holding a piece of the puzzle.

Themes: The album explores themes of loss, betrayal, and the search for identity in a city that seems to strip away humanity. The music and lyrics together create a moody atmosphere, with tracks that reflect on love, danger, and existential dread.

Musical Style: This album captures the rhythmic flow of hip-hop, mixed with the electronic beats of synthesizers, and elements of funk, reflecting the chaotic pulse of Stinkin' City as it faces a new decade. Social commentary and personal struggle.

Narrative: Two decades later, the city has transformed yet remains fundamentally the same. Sean Turner, a rebellious teenager and the grandchild of Alex Solitaire, seeks to uncover the truth behind their grandfather's legendary last case, which has become urban myth. Shawn's journey is set against the backdrop of the early 90s counterculture, with underground raves, street art, and a burgeoning hip-hop scene.

Themes: "1991" delves into themes of rebellion, the cyclical nature of history, and the quest for personal and societal change. The music reflects the angst and hope of a generation determined to make a mark.

Now this is not over, I'm looking for all sorts of musicians and producers for the link between the two albums, which shall be named "Mad Tales", set in 1988. I've already commissionned artwork.
