Eberhard Weber: Surveying A Musical Life

Read "Eberhard Weber: Surveying A Musical Life" reviewed by Jason Crane


Jason Crane interviews bassist Eberhard Weber. Weber's name is synonymous with the “ECM sound, because he's been the bassist of choice on classic ECM recordings dating back to the label's founding three decades ago. Since the early 1980s, Weber has played in saxophonist Jan Garbarek's band. To celebrate his 65th birthday, the city of ...

Eberhard Weber: Stages of a Long Journey

Read "Stages of a Long Journey" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


In passato, sin dai Settanta e per molto tempo da allora, ho sempre fortemente amato l'arte musicale di Eberhard Weber. Il suo inconfondibile suono, la sua straordinaria tecnica, il suo approccio musicale, il suo essere fondamentalmente “tedesco", forse nel migliore senso del termine, la sua solarità senza confini, la sua totale e completa unicità nel panorama ...

Eberhard Weber: Stages Of A Long Journey

Read "Stages Of A Long Journey" reviewed by Alain Londes


On the occasion of his 65th birthday, bassist/composer Eberhard Weber played for two evenings with the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra and some of his key contemporaries.

Most of ...

He pioneered the use of electronics with the bass, and while that enhanced the dimension and the dynamic, he did not let it obscure the harmony and sensibility of his music. Weber turned 65 in 2005. His birthday was celebrated in Stuttgart with two ...

Eberhard Weber: Stages of a Long Journey

Read "Stages of a Long Journey" reviewed by John Kelman


If there's any lesson to be learned from Eberhard Weber's Stages of a Long Journey, it's this: just because you don't doesn't mean you can't. A career-spanning retrospective of his own most enduring compositions expanded, in some cases, to include a symphony orchestra, the bassist delivers more than a few surprises. Naysayers only cursorily familiar with ...

Eberhard Weber: Rarum XVIII: Selected Recordings

Read "Rarum XVIII: Selected Recordings" reviewed by Michael P. Gladstone


After checking my LP collection, I learn that I have seven Eberhard Weber albums from 1973 through 1980. I'm pretty sure that Colours of Chloë was the very first ECM album that I purchased, and it was simply on an aesthetic basis. The album was a complete tabula rasa with clean yet austere packaging, unknown musicians ...
