Okay, in addition to being a rabid Michael Connelly fan, I am also partial to classic jazz.
Michael Connelly (on his April 2003 book signing tour) gave away a CD of his character, Harry Bosch's, favorite jazz. It's called Dark Sacred Night.
Imagine my delight when someone gave me this CD! (It is not available for sale as far as I know, unless it's on eBay)
It's the perfect accompaniement for - well, anything. Writing, for example.
Here's a playlist:
[FONT='Arial CE', sans-serif]1. "Lullaby" - Frank Morgan, Mood Indigo
2. "Soul Eyes" - John Coltrane, The Gentle Side Of John Coltrane
3. "My Funny Valentine" - Art Pepper and the Hollywood All-Stars, Art Standards
4. "My Foolish Heart" - Bill Evans, Bill Evans Walkman
5. "Mood Indigo" - Frank Morgan, Jazz 'Round Midnight
6. "For All We Know" - Sonny Rollins, Falling In Love With Jazz
7. "Lush Life" - Joe Henderson, The Definitive Joe Henderson
8. "Straight Life" - Art Pepper, Art Pepper Meets The Rhythm Section
9. "Willow Weep For Me" - Clifford Brown, Clifford Brown
10. "What A Wonderful World" - Louis Armstrong, Pure Jazz

Readers of Harry Bosch will know Art Pepper is a favorite of his. And the title Dark Sacred Night comes from "What a Wonderful World"
I am *SO* into this music!
So what do you listen to? Any of your favorite mystery or thriller characters influence your music choices? Any other jazz fans out there?
