Watching? Whatevers on in the show, guess. Do people usually listen to music while they watch shows?

Yakety sax, sometimes.

Some reccs I would classify as “Jazz Noir”:

Goodbye Pork Pie Hat (Charles Mingus)
Blue in Green (Miles Davis)
Cry Me A River (Dexter Gordon)
Sugar (Stanley Turrentine)

Obviously Miles Davis is the only answer, but only while watching Elevator to the Gallows because he composed and performed the soundtrack. Otherwise I just listen to the thing I’m watching.

I imagine In a Silent Way would be incredible in a crime drama, for example over a murder scene, with all the other sound cut out and just that playing (more like “foreground music”, if that’s a thing)
