I always check out a post from Altissimo, another gem!

I don't know of a recording but Don Weller performing his own composition Di's Waltz stunned me every time I heard it.

[Caz]

“Song for strayhorn” by Mulligan or “Emily” by Desmond..

“Love theme” - Tom Scott version played in Bladerunner is also a strong candidate.

For me it's a toss up between The Wedding and Mannenberg. Both by Abdullah Ibrahim.

The Wedding

Not the Kenny version then

Certainly not. Schmaltz is not hauntingly beautiful to me.
