The Moderne is an electric guitar designed by Gibson in 1957 alongside the Flying V and Explorer as part of a stylistically advanced line. Sources claim that Gibson made a handful of prototypes, but an original has yet to surface. The Moderne was eventually put into production in 1982. Because of their very limited production and forward design, Modernes are highly sought by collectors. Here is the story, explained in interviews and photos, of this curious development associated with the golden era of guitar making. For Brad Mehldau, this collaboration started at that 'life-changing moment' when, as a 13-year-old, a friend played him 'Are You Going With Me' from the Pat Methany Group's 1982 live double-album, Travels. Years later, Pat Methany heard 'Chill' from saxophonist Joshua Redman's 1994 album Moodswing that featured Brad Mehldau on piano. Since, the two artists have forged an artistic partnership based on shared inspiration, not just mutual admiration. This album features music by both Methany and Mehldau, and was recorded at Right Track Studio (NYC) in December of 2005.

Titles are: 'Unrequited', 'Ahmid-6', 'Summer Day', 'Ring of Life', 'Legend', 'Find Me In Your Dreams', 'Say the Brother's Name', 'Bachelors III', 'Annie's Bittersweet Cake', 'Make Peace'.
