Default "sleazy detective jazz"?

there is a very specific kind of music i associate with vague memories from my childhood in the early 80s of staying up late and watching sleazy detective films. it is slow and syrupy, and is very heavy on the sax.

this kind of music brings up images of rainy cities and late-night clandestine meetings under the streetlights. i associate it with the smoke-filled offices of grumbling dectives who invariably wore khaki dusters and wide-brimmed hats.

here are a few examples that come close to what i'm talking about. if you know of more music of this style, please let me know.

thanks!
