A short, slinky 90bpm retro jazz cue in B flat minor built on brushed drums, walking bass, vibraphone and a sax-and-trumpet horn line with a comic swagger. At under two minutes it works as a quick punchline sting rather than a long bed, tilting more toward quirky comedy than genuine menace.
At 100bpm in C minor this is the album's smokiest investigative groove, with Rhodes electric piano and vibraphone under a muted horn and saxophone figure over a steady bass-and-drum walk. Mysterious rather than comic, it sits comfortably under narration and holds a cool, unhurried forward pull across its two minutes.
The slowest and most tongue-in-cheek of the mid-tempo cues at 86bpm in G minor, pairing lazy drums and bass with vibraphone stabs and sly saxophone and trumpet lines. Its short run and loose swing suit a comic setback or a suspect being led away, mixing mystery with a wink.
The longest and most overtly Latin track here, a 128bpm E minor number driven by percussion-forward drums, piano and Rhodes, vibraphone and a hot sax-and-trumpet front line. Seductive and fast-footed, it has room across nearly three minutes to build from a stealthy verse to a full-blooded strut.
A compact 104bpm E minor scouting cue, tiptoeing on tight drums and bass with vibraphone accents and short, questioning saxophone and trumpet phrases. Its brevity and light-footed mystery make it ideal for a surveillance beat or a quick sequence of characters casing a location.
A laid-back 81bpm cue in F minor where piano joins the vibraphone, bass and brushed drums for a moneyed, after-hours lounge feel with cool horn and sax colour. Slow enough to read as smug confidence rather than tension, it suits cash, chips and characters counting their winnings.
A 100bpm D minor puzzle-solving groove with steady drums and bass, ticking vibraphone figures and probing saxophone and trumpet lines over synth underpinning. Its longer two-and-a-half-minute shape gives it room to circle and tighten, good for a scene of methodical problem-solving.
The album's fastest straight-jazz cue at 131bpm in G minor, running on urgent drums, driving bass, vibraphone and a punchy sax-and-trumpet horn section with no comic softening. Mysterious and tightly wound, it fits the countdown moments right before a job goes live.
A slow, creeping 84bpm cue in G minor built on hushed drums and bass with vibraphone and sparse, muted horn and saxophone touches. The restrained tempo keeps it in suspense territory, suited to fingers on a dial or a camera panning across something valuable.
An 81bpm C minor after-hours groove with easy drums and bass, vibraphone shimmer and cool saxophone and trumpet lines drifting over synth pads. The slowest tempo on the album alongside Bank Roll, it reads as neon-lit night work rather than danger and leaves plenty of air for dialogue.
