Its own descriptions tell its story. Blue Melody is the work of Eli Lax and Chaim Rosenblatt; Eli Lax conducts it, and with Ari B. he arranged and produced Mordechai Shapiro's Li. It was founded, in its own words, on the idea that quality music is everything blue stands for: depth, clarity and class. Many of its clips bring back songs it felt deserved more: Emes, the last track of Benny Friedman's album Taamu; Yeedle's Sois; Al Tiktzoif, first recorded by Yaakov Shwekey on Gideon Levine's The Best of the Best; Lama from Yossi Green's album The 8th Note, in Eli Lishinsky's arrangement; Al Tomar, a Yossi Green song Mendy Wald first recorded; and Kamu Baneha by Yitzy Waldner. Hayom is a chuppah song Yitzy Waldner composed and Mordechai Shapiro first sang; Ezkero, Pinky Weber's own composition from the album Oirois, is played by an orchestra of more than thirty musicians; and Kol Paamonim is its tribute to Ishay Ribo, a song of the coming of Moshiach. Rotzo came for Pesach, Kol Torah for Shavuos, Ain Od Milvado and Ahavas Yisroel before Rosh Hashanah, and Chasoif for Chanukah. Its first clip, Blue Debut, names the players - Ari Boiangiu, Eran Asias and Jason Teborek among them - and its clip with Nechemia Katz was the one that introduced his voice. Each song opens on its own page, with no ads and no comments around it.
