Description:

This is a duo live album with Charlie Haden, the lone bassist who passed away in 2014, and Brad Meldor, one of the greatest contemporary jazz piano players. The two met in 1993. Charlie happened to see Brad playing in Joshua Redman's band and was impressed. Since then, they have recorded two live albums, "Alone Together" (Blue Note) in 1996 with Lee Konitz as a trio and "Live at Birdland" (ECM) in 2011 with Paul Motian in the trio. This is the first time the trio performed as a duo, and was recorded on stage at Christ Church in Mannheim in 2007 as part of the Enjoy Jazz Festival in Germany. This work allows the audience to fully enjoy the dialogue between the two musicians as they melt into the austere space of the church. During his lifetime, Hayden released many excellent duo albums with famous pianists such as Keith Jarrett, Hank Jones, Kenny Barron, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, and John Taylor, and this album is a masterpiece in the same vein.
