Jazz-tronica
 

You know that really subtle form of jazz that's often used in car commercials and European films?

Things that have sampling on top of a quiet drum track and usually have someone saying things like "ugh" periodically.

It's really hard to describe, actually.

BUT

Know any good songs?

Or at least what I'm talking about so that you can give a better description of it?

well kinda, there's al lot good electronuca jazz from norway. check out nils petter molvær. i'm not shure it's what you're lookin for, but it's cool. and there is always mr. bungle, if you haven't heard check out the disco volante record. it's not jazz, but still great.

for an acura commercial, they used a track from nicola conte'. i bought the album, it's quite good. i think that track was part of a collection called "eighteenth street lounge".

but i'm not sure if that's what you're looking for.

Squarepusher, is the man to check out.
I'd reccomend the album Hard Normal Daddy.

If you're looking for specific tracks, I'd suggest Cooper's World and EZ Boogie.

This may not be what you are talking about, but my favorite jazz-electronic blend is Groove Collective. Thier newer stuff is more mellow, so go with older stuff for more activity.

if you're talking what I think you're talking about, it's called Cosmic Jazz or Mushroom Jazz

Check out an artist called Mark Farina, he's responsible for some of the best jazz/electronic music fusions
