The album "Long Ago And Far Away" is a collaboration between renowned jazz bassist Charlie Haden and pianist Brad Mehldau. Released by Impulse, this album showcases the incredible musical chemistry between these two virtuosic musicians.

Throughout the album, Haden's warm and melodic bass lines intertwine with Mehldau's expressive and lyrical piano playing. The duo explores a variety of jazz standards and original compositions, creating a captivating and intimate listening experience.

One of the highlights of "Long Ago And Far Away" is the duo's interpretation of the title track, a classic song from the Great American Songbook. Haden's deep, resonant bass provides a solid foundation for Mehldau's intricate and emotive piano improvisations.

In addition to their stunning duets, Haden and Mehldau also showcase their individual talents on several solo tracks. Haden's solo rendition of "My Love and I" is hauntingly beautiful, while Mehldau's solo performance on "The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress" is filled with delicate nuances.

The album also features guest appearances by saxophonist Joshua Redman on two tracks. Redman's fiery yet soulful playing adds another layer of depth to the already rich musical tapestry created by Haden and Mehldau.

Overall, "Long Ago And Far Away" is a masterful collaboration that showcases the exceptional talent and artistry of Charlie Haden and Brad Mehldau. With its beautiful melodies, captivating improvisations, and heartfelt performances, this album is a must-have for any jazz enthusiast or lover of great music.
