i'm not going to quote the clip again but the Cowboy Bebop intro is most definitely jazz and the title is a bit of a hint to the style as well (Bop / Bebop). it's a fast, funky, and furiously improvised style there's a lot of shared ground with fusion and funk.

The Seatbelts recorded a decent amount of material in that style for that series, pretty sure everything was composed by Yoko Kano or something like that.

you'd be wanting more stuff in line with Charles Mingus, Jaco Pastorius, Art Ensemble of Chicago, etc.
