A masterpiece of acoustic jazz woven together with quiet lyricism and conversational performance.
A Grammy Award-winning acoustic jazz masterpiece by the duo of bassist Charlie Haden and guitarist Pat Metheny, featuring a performance filled with nostalgia and poetry.
The performance is like a tranquil dialogue throughout, with Metheny's warm guitar tone and Haden's deep timbre blending exquisitely. The lyricism exemplified in tracks like "Tears of Rain" and "Message to a Friend" is backed by the pair's long history together. The structure is relaxed yet maintains a sense of tension, and the recording quality is exceptionally high. This is an important work that is still cited today as the ideal form of acoustic jazz.
