Bassist Charlie Haden celebrated some particularly great successes with duo albums in his career, e.g. "Beyond The Missouri Sky" with Pat Metheny or "Night And The City" with Kenny Barron. These ballad masterpieces became bestsellers of modern jazz Now comes another album of this caliber: Charlie Haden meets the exceptional pianist Brad Mehldau. The two were recorded in 2007 as part of the Enjoy Jazz Festival at the Christuskirche in Mannheim "Charlie is gone now, and this recording was made 'long ago and far away', yet the music remains immediate. The music is now," writes Ruth Cameron, Charlie Haden's widow, about this simple yet intoxicatingly beautiful live recording of two absolute masters on their instruments.
