Johnny Staccato (1959). John Cassavetes is the jazz pianist who's also a private eye. It only ran for 27 episodes but is a real gem of a detective series. Smooth on the ivories and hot on the trigger, Casaventes gives the character more heart and more vulnerability than you see with rival PI Peter Gunn. The twilight world of hopheads, beatniks and mobsters has plenty of downbeat allure, the plots snap and pop in all the right ways and the jazz scenes are genuinely cool. Although mostly filmed in LA the setting for Staccato was Manhattan, and Waldo's - the jazz club he frequented - was meant to be in Greenwich Village.
