    I posted this clip in another thread for while ago, but this song is a beautiful and melancholic standard.

    If you want dark, it doesn't get much darker than Strange Fruit.

    Angel Eyes, One for my baby, I'm a fool to want you, A house is not a home, In love in vain,
    look up the Sinatra LP's "only the lonely" , the classic recordings of Ella, Sarah, Peggy, etc. .....
    all the sad songs you'll find there.

    "Goodbye" by Gordon Jenkins. He wrote it after his wife and child died during childbirth.



    Several guitarists have covered it (see versions by Johnny Smith and Chuck Wayne in particular).

    Autumn In New York is a candidate, maybe not the darkest (dark enough btw, ending on Fminor6) but surely one of the deepest.

    And there is 'Round Midnight.



    And Peggy Lee. Is That All There Is?

    Well, not exactly slow and also not jazz, but the performance is introspective, worth to listen

    That's a desert Island disc for me. And Kenny Wheeler's "Angel Song."

    Re: Slow and Introspective, check out a record by Lee Konitz called "Poets of Jazz," and a record by Warne Marsh called "A ballad Album."

    You can make anything sad and slow and introspective, really. Konitz's dirge slow take on "All of Me" on the first record I mentioned will forever change the way you hear that one.

    I found that an interesting suggestion. Some of my all-time favorite songs performed by Gary Burton, and I've got a few, were on ECM. ' Dreams So Real ', Mevlivia ( Sp.? ).
    Was this an intentional focus of that label ?

    Thx.

    But there's no question that Gloomy Sunday takes the biscuit. The 'Suicide Song'!

    ECM Records is a very unique label in contemporary music business. No label will ever beat them in terms of aesthetic quality and artistic production, not even Deutsche Grammophon or Blue Note Records. ”Dark, introspective, slow” are adjectives I’m generally associating with the ECM sound. Heavy plate reverb combined with classical and traditional folk music harmonies really defines this beautiful soundscape. It’s ”there”, no matter what recording you’re listening to. Manfred Eicher is a genius.
