Funk Retro Jazz Vol.1

A 35-second big band swinger with trumpet lead and driving piano, feel-good and fast. The most orchestrally full of the short cues — a brassy button or open.

A 36-second funk-jazz cue with saxophone, flute and horn punches over bass and drums, groovy on the surface with an investigative wink underneath. Reads as a scandal-reveal or comic exposé sting.

A three-minute groovy funk bed with percussion, bass and electric piano, coloured by wordless female vocal lines rather than a lead lyric. Smooth and slightly watchful, it sustains long montages and narration passages.

A 40-second quirky vintage jazz cue for flute and saxophone with a sneaking, investigative character. Ideal for tiptoe comedy and mock-suspense beats.

A 64-second retro jazz-funk cue with trumpet and muted trumpet over electric piano, smooth and cruising in feel. Its title points straight at driving footage, and its length covers a short spot end to end.

A 31-second whimsical funk cue pairing electric guitar with flute for a light, cartoonish soul feel. Playful and urban, best used as a character gag or transition.

Thirty seconds of upbeat 60s-style jazz featuring saxophone as the sole tagged voice, vintage in tone and brisk in feel. A compact ident or transition.

A 71-second 60s spy-jazz cue built on vibraphone and relaxed drums, cool and unhurried with an investigative tilt. Sparse enough to leave plenty of room for dialogue or narration.

A three-minute funky soul-lounge bed with piano and synth over a driving bass and drum groove, smooth and even across its length. Built as an underscore rather than a feature — it sits happily under presenters or narration.

A 31-second uplifting vintage jazz cue led by trumpet, saxophone and a tight horn section. Sunny and forward-moving, evoking early-60s big-city optimism.

Thirty seconds of full-band soul funk — horn section, sax, chopping electric guitar, bass and drums — in overt James Brown homage. A feel-good hit with no room for development.

A 40-second smoky, seductive jazz cue with saxophone and flute over electric piano and loose drums, tipped slightly comic by the title. The investigative flavour makes it work as sleaze underscore as well as a gag.

A 37-second 70s funk cue with wah-wah guitar, horn punches, bass and drums, carrying a mildly investigative edge under the fun. Reads as an animated sitcom or street-scene tag.

A 32-second cheerful swing miniature with clarinet leading over piano and drums. Bright, old-fashioned and immediately period-signalling.

A three-minute 70s crime-funk bed with sax and horn lines over a prowling bassline, investigative and smooth rather than aggressive. Long enough to run under a full sequence of surveillance, planning or narration.

A 50-second slice of 70s street funk with wah-wah guitar, saxophone and a fat bassline. Period-specific and swaggering, longer than most of the short cues so it can carry a full walk-and-talk.

Thirty seconds of retro guitar-led jazz-funk, with clean electric guitar out front over piano, bass and drums. Happy and unfussy — a quick stinger or bed for a light-hearted beat.

A 30-second soul-funk snippet with acoustic guitar, piano, bass and drums locked into a relaxed, good-natured groove. The most organic-sounding of the short cues, warm rather than brassy.

A cool, retro 34-second swinger with brushed-feel drums, walking bass and a driving trumpet lead. Straight-ahead vintage jazz energy for a quick scene change or ident.

Thirty-three seconds of funky electronic groove with bass, percussion and jabbing piano chords driving throughout. Compact and loopable, with a smooth surface over an insistent pulse.

A 43-second quirky electronic funk driver built on synth bass, electric bass and hard drums with no melodic instrument out front. Party-leaning and slightly cartoonish, useful where a groove needs to push under commentary.

A 46-second horn-section funk fanfare with punchy percussion, written in the manner of a late-night TV band playing to camera. Party energy and an obvious in-and-out shape for show opens and returns from break.

A 94-second solo piano piece, cheerful and lightly whimsical with a smooth jazz touch and no rhythm section to compete with dialogue. The most exposed and intimate cue on the album.

A near-four-minute driving jazz-funk workout with trombone and trumpet lines over electric piano, synth, bass and busy drums. Relentlessly upbeat and mechanical in its groove, it sustains long process or production sequences without sagging.

The album's longest smooth-jazz bed at just over three minutes, with congas, upright-feel bass, drums, warm pads, piano and muted trumpet and sax lines drifting in and out. The investigative undercurrent keeps it slightly watchful, making it useful under narration as well as scene-setting.

Cheerful vintage jazz in miniature: saxophone and flute trading a bright melody over comping piano and a light swing groove. At 32 seconds it functions as a feel-good tag or ident rather than an underscore.

A 32-second James Brown–flavoured funk hit with punchy trumpet stabs and shouted male vocal accents, framed as a cinematic score cue. All swagger and no development given its length — a title card or entrance sting.

A one-minute smooth saxophone-led jazz loop pitched deliberately low in the mix, built for background use under dialogue or narration. Retro nightclub flavour with a steady groove and no dramatic peaks.

A 34-second sting of smooth, seductive jazz built around a low male vocal murmur and breathy flute over a funk-tinged groove. Short enough to work as a bumper or a wink at a suggestive moment rather than a full bed.
