Private Eye: A Noir Jazz Investigation is a ten-track cinematic jazz album by Moody Metro Vibes, following a private detective through the city after dark. Late-night clients, downtown pursuits, uncertain alibis and anonymous calls form a story told through music and evocative track titles.

The investigation begins with “A Client After Dark” and moves into “Tail Across Downtown.” “Lipstick on the Matchbook” introduces a suggestive clue, while “Alibi at the Hotel” and “The Room Without a Number” deepen the mystery. Together, these titles invite listeners to imagine the locations, encounters and unanswered questions of a noir detective film.

The second half follows “The Man Behind the Glass,” “Call from an Unknown Number” and “Knock at Two in the Morning.” “Nobody Saw Her Leave” leaves a disappearance to ponder before “Case Closed Before Dawn” brings the sequence to its final scene. Listen in order to follow the narrative, or choose a track as the starting point for a story of your own.

With its noir jazz, dark jazz and cinematic identity, Private Eye offers a setting for late-night reading, mystery writing, focused creative work or an evening journey through the city. It belongs to Moody Metro Vibes’ wider exploration of urban life after dark, where places and fleeting encounters become the subjects of original music.
