Jazz @ The Vic featuring Lyndsey Lee's Minor Feature

The Minor Feature Project: Original compositions and songs from the Great American Songbook era.

Music inspired by the B movie, the second film, the minor feature, from film noir to the new wave.

Classic Film Noir Music brings the timeless atmosphere of noir to life through smoky jazz, haunting piano, deep double bass, and dramatic accents. Inspired by the golden age of Hollywood crime dramas, this soundscape blends mystery, suspense, and elegance in a way that recalls rain‑soaked streets, neon lights, and shadowy figures.

Film noir, French for "dark film," is a cinematic term for Hollywood crime dramas from the 1940s and 1950s characterized by cynical attitudes, moral ambiguity, and a distinctive, high-contrast black-and-white visual style. These films often feature hardboiled detectives, femme fatales, and fatalistic, moody atmospheres reflecting postwar pessimism.
