This description points to a slow, atmospheric jazz ballad. The style is likely minimalist and spacious, characteristic of "noir jazz" or the ECM record label sound. The slow tempo of around 70 BPM and the 4/4 time signature create a steady, unhurried foundation, musically representing the constant, slow passage of time.
The instrumentation suggests a classic small jazz combo. Drums played with brushes would provide a soft, textural pulse rather than a driving beat. An upright bass offers a warm, woody anchor, while a Rhodes piano provides the lush, slightly wistful harmony essential for the melancholic mood. The lead melody would likely be shared between a smoky, gentle vocal line and a breathy tenor saxophone, which is perfectly suited for expressing soulful melancholy. The choice of a minor key (like D minor) is crucial for establishing the sad, reflective tone, and the harmony would be rich with extended jazz chords (sevenths, ninths) to add emotional complexity.
