So I was looking more for the slower drawn out sounds and that's where I thought it may be a subset of jazz. The first song in the first link I provided is what I'm looking for if such a category exists. That is long notes on wind instruments, very slow tempo, brush used on the snare drum, etc. | |

| Mar 5, 2018 at 10:00 | comment | added | Bebs | OK, I wasn't sure because in French, it would refer to that (Noir means Black). So my question persists... I don't see what kind of music is discussed here. Do you have some examples? | |
