lunar pool has some of those "spy" feeling note combos.

i don't know if r-type counts.  it sounds like rock.  it's got some nice melodies in it.  later in the song it gets in as blues rock, so okay.. smile

also... there was this place on Tales of Phantasia for the SNES where you could ask Sakuraba (the game composer, I think) to play a really cool piece.

Mortimer Twang did some pretty cool downtempo swing-ish pieces, look up his amiga mod series 'suggestive vibes'. Not exactly jazz, but still in the general vibe, imo

Thanks for this, this is a great thing to have and hear.

God I forgot how much I loved Medeski, Martin, & Wood.

They're what got me into Jazz/Blues. A friend of mine played this song once in the car after a rock show and I was so drunk I didn't know what was happening but it sounded amazing.

Actually, topical to the thread. Koji Kondo wrote ragtimes for the air stage levels in most of the Super Mario World games.

Check it:


Compare to actual period era ragtimes, such as these by Scott Joplin:


And a modern ragtime, composed by the guy from the first video:
