Product Description

The Guardian, (John L Walters), May 4, 2007

(4 stars) A crystal-clear recording...with Weber always leading
from the bass.


Album Description

The recording comes from two birthday concerts at a packed Stutgart Theaterhaus in 2005 featuring Eberhard Weber's electro-bass mastery in lucid dialogue with the eighty-plus members of the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra, conducted with sensitivity by Roland Kluttig. Also featuring musicians who, over the years, have meant something special to the great German bassist: Wolfgang Dauner, Gary Burton, Rainer Brüninghaus, Marilyn Mazur and, of course Jan Garbarek.

Although the concerts also included classical pieces, the only music besides Weber's here are a lovely version with Dauner of the Jerome Kern standard "Yesterdays" (which has Weber working out on his early "steam" bass), a coruscating reading of Carla Bley's "Syndrome", with Burton and Garbarek in terrific form, a surprise guest appearance from Swiss percussionist Reto Weber (no relation) and his engaging compatriot, young beat-box vocalist Nino G, and a couple of transitional solos from Brüninghaus and Mazur.

Otherwise the range and diversity of Weber's musical sensibilities are fully reflected in a sequence of superbly interpreted pieces (all arrangements by Weber) from his 'Pendulum', 'Orchestra', 'Colours of Chloë', 'Later That Evening', 'Yellow Fields' and 'Silent Feet' ECM albums. A fully orchestrated "Last Stage of A Long Journey" (from Little Movements) and the haunting solo meditation "Air" round off a truly magical programme from this master musician and friends.

Personnel: Eberhard Weber - (bass), Jan Garbarek - (soprano and tenor saxophones), Gary Burton - (vibraphone), Rainer Brüninghaus - (piano), Marilyn Mazur - (percussion), Wolfgang Dauner - (piano), Reto Weber - (beatbox), SWR Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra, Roland Kluttig - (conductor)

4.0 out of 5 stars Top notch entertainment, 19 Jun 2007
By Brim (England) - See all my reviews
Together this ensemble make a beautiful sound; some new muscular arrangements of familiar Weber tunes gives them a new life. The 73 minute cd just flies by. The only bum note is 'Hang Around' featuring 'beatbox' Nino G. which I can do without.

4.0 out of 5 stars Think ECM sound, but live and a large group, 28 Aug 2007
By Ben Basing (Roughly London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I agree with Bwim about the unappealing beatbox, but maybe I'm just getting old. I also agree that this is the ONLY bum note. I am not yet familiar with Weber's music- come on, I've only played the disk twice! I found it in the Oxfam shop and thought I'd risk a name I'd heard of. Now I think I'll try some more, and might even pay normal price for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Well Deserved Tribute, 27 Sep 2007
By K MClure (Edinburgh) - See all my reviews
Highlights of 2 nights of music celerating the work and career of Eberhard Weber. To be honest i was not immediately grabbed by the arrangement of the opener, Silent Feet, but even that feeling didn't last this album builds to the point where I was disappointed that it seemed to finish too soon. This is very satisfying album that offfers a section of "hits" (i.e. in terms of musical success rather tahn chart position) from a long career. There is a whole other area as a supreme jazz backing musician and odd guest spots, on albums by the likes of Kate Bush, that are not represented here but this is his strongest area.

One highligh I really love is the duo (Weber and Garbarek) on Seven Movements, real musical chemistry is at work here. Despite what other reviewers may have said the bass "hang" and beatbox number is also a highlight.
