what games have blues/jazz soundtracks? (Page 1 of 2)

sure, Jazz Blues is great!

thanks.

Also look up an AHX composer called "jazzcat"

Also this isnt chippy and it might be a bit more swing than Jazz but space channel 5 is one of my all time favorites.

This thread is now about real jazz:

EDIT: Serious contribution

I'm a huge jazz person, and I haven't really contributed to this thread because I idiomatically have trouble viewing 100% sequenced music as "jazz," even if it is using a lot of the compositional techniques and stylistic conventions associated with jazz. I feel that the improvisational dynamic is essential to the idiomatic definition of "Jazz." Do I love jazzy electronic music and jazz chip music? I do, and quite enthusiastically. But making "real jazz" as I understand it in our idiom would be a next level exploration of the art, getting into stuff like randomized / generative music, or software that behaves differently and creates different music in different circumstances.

Which is not to say that a very talented live performance with chip fusion can't be jazz. If you're improvising at all, it's approaching jazz.

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:
