Eberhard Weber: Please Don't Play Jazz
by Paul Olson
It's impossible to tell the story of European jazz without mentioning bassist/composer Eberhard Weber. One of the true virtuosos of the bass, the German-born Weber has an immediately recognizable, singing tone—even when he's not performing on his trademark, self-designed electrobass. Like his American counterpart Jaco Pastorius, Weber wasn't shy about making his instrument heard—his round, supple ...

Eberhard Weber: Stages of a Long Journey
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.

Eberhard Weber: Stages of a Long Journey
by Jerry D'Souza
Eberhard Weber has had a distinguished career as a bassist.

His birthday was celebrated in Stuttgart with two ...
Eberhard Weber: Stages of a Long Journey
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 ...
