Meade "Lux" Lewis 
Blue Note 1 - special re-issue on 78rpm disc

Melancholy was among the first pieces to be recorded for the celebrated Blue Note label—it was recorded at Blue Note's very first session on January 6, 1939. It is a laid-back exploration of the blues that mixes a slowly rolling bass line with virtuosic embellishments in the right hand. Melancholy is a step back in jazz history that is well worth taking. It provides a rigorous technical exercise for pianists (especially in the right hand) while still being a simply charming composition.
