“Melancholia” - Aaron Parks Timbuktu Session

Here’s one final video from the Timbuktu Session, and perhaps my favorite of them: “Melancholia” by the great Duke Ellington. One of the most beautiful songs I know. Hope you enjoy this version 🖤🩶
Once again I want to thank everyone who helped this performance/recording in Lisbon come together. So grateful for the friendship of Inês Laginha, Diogo Alexandre, José Soares, Joana Appleton Figueira, Diogo Cavaco, as well as the wonderful work done by the fine folks credited below.
Recorded and mixed by André Fernandes at Estudio Timbuktu
Mastered by André Castro

It is a very beautiful song, as you say. It's also beautifully played and recorded.

Aaron, your inner world is so vast, and your music describes it. Thank you

What a match...from the soul of Ellington to the soul of Parks, an exquisite exegesis of music that touches the soul of the appreciative ears, hearts, and spirit in a most profound way!!!
