by Mario Calvitti
Sono passati 8 anni da quel giorno del 2007 quando un ictus colpì il contrabbassista Eberhard Weber durante un tour con il gruppo di Jan Garbarek lasciandolo semiparalizzato e incapace di continuare l'attività concertistica.

Manu Katche: Touchstone for Manu

Eberhard Weber Fluid RustleECM1979 Today's Rediscovery, after a bit of a hiatus, looks at an album by Eberhard Weber that is of particularly significance in the German bassist's discography.
