Music and recording

The music is from a 2007 concert at the Enjoy Jazz Festival in Mannheim, Germany.[1] The material is standards.[1] On "Au Privave", after the theme is stated, "a change of key signals a narrative switch to flurries of notes, trills and single note lines. Haden, unhurried, shifts harmonic focus underneath until the theme returns, pulled into fragments that lean back on the beat."[2]

The album was released by Impulse! Records in 2018.[4] The AllMusic reviewer commented on the "casual intensity, and the willingness to commune with yearning lyricism one minute and dive into dark voids the next, that make Mehldau and Haden's duo work here so compelling."[1]
