Here are two I like to play, as well as listen too: Alone Together and Invitation.
-
Another favorite I’ve not mentioned yet is this Emily Remler recording below. A masterpiece!
-
Here's a couple of my favorites:
There's a great version of Deep Song on Alexander Claffy's "Standards: What Are you Doing For the Rest Of Your Life?", blending Kurt Rosenwinkel's arrangement with vocals by Veronica Swift.

Send in the clowns is a dark introspective show tune.

Listing the probably most iconic three jazz legends of an era then continuing with himself... wow.
If I try to come up with a name I can not figure out anyone who fits as the fourth, especially not by self promotion.
(Larry Coryell: Monk, Trane, Miles & Me),
btw the referred Alone Together is surprisingly enjoyable.

ECM was who released Bright Size Life 43 years ago which is now part of the jazz legacy. Also countless Keith Jarrett recordings belongs to ECM.

(Not talking about the classical recordings, especially András Schiff many Bach and Beethoven live recordings. In case anyone interested in Bach and knows Gould’s recordings, try to listen Schiff on ECM at least a few times, maybe will found it’s a new cornerstone. And also it is not dark, much more light compared to Gould)
Back to the dark. I do not think all ECM is dark, for example Rejoicing
Well, there are hundreds of ECM recordings featuring less known musicians, I always think those recordings as cold, and not dark or sad, which does not fits for me. I accept sadness, and joy in any music, but not coldness, and I feel it, like this is a driving attribute when ECM picks less known artists.Last edited by Gabor; 11-06-2019 at 11:33 AM.

Cindy Walker wrote all sorts of songs, and a lot of them, many for Bob Wills. Going Away Party is one of the lost love songs, which seem to dominate country music.

Grant Green - Idle Moments

Grant Green - Maybe Tomorrow

Horace Silver - Calcutta Cutie

Frank Morgan - Lullaby.
About as laid back and gorgeous as there is.

I was surprised to find that two of my favorite songs in the dark 'n moody category -- Ill Wind and What'll I do -- are actually written in major keys -- Bb and C, respectively. (Thank you, Mr. Google.)
Maybe I should start another thread listing major-key tunes that just sound like minor-key laments. Then again, these songs are basically inseparable in my mind with the classic Sinatra versions, so maybe my ears just need to get out more!

Bohren & Der Club Of Gore

Check out Steve Khan's arrangement of "Little Sunflower".
-
Invitation is a dark and introspective tune using minor 9ths;
