    That’s normally smooth jazz. And they use major, lydian, altered and octatonics.

    Sleazy PI jazz is "New York Jazz Blues/Nocturnes" isn't it?

    The best example I can think of is Blade Runner Blues by Evangelos Papathanassíou ;^) 

    Stuff that might fit in that PI milieu might also be  

    In a Sentimental Mood by John Coltrane
    Round Midnight - Thelonious Monk (or the later Miles/Coltrane) 
    Scenes from the city by Charlie Mingus

    If you need a "palette cleanser" after all that noir - I'd recommend Bang Bang by Dizzy Gillespie
