As Long as There's Music is an album of duets by bassist Charlie Haden and pianist Hampton Hawes, recorded in 1976 and released on the Artists House label in 1978. [1] The album features a mix of original compositions by Hawes and Haden and music by others. "This Is Called Love" is a contrafact based on Cole Porter's What Is This Thing Called Love?. [2] The 1993 CD reissue added a bonus track (originally released on The Golden Number ) and three alternative takes from the recording sessions.
