A Long Story is an album by pianist and composer Anat Fort recorded in Brooklyn in March 2004 and released on ECM in January 2007.

[2] The five star AllMusic review by Stephen Eddins states "Fort sets up a basic cool jazz sound and then strays far enough from the expectations she has created to keep the listener constantly engaged and intrigued...

The strong character of each of the players and Fort's slightly offbeat musical material make every piece on this outstanding album a pleasure.

"[3] PopMatters correspondent Matt Cibula reflected "It’s pretty seldom that people can turn down the volume on this crazy world and really concentrate on things that really matter.

"[4] Writing for All About Jazz, Dan McClenaghan noted "A Long Story is one of a handful of albums that can be listened to again and again while revealing different aspects of itself each time.
