Hit: 5 Stars
Eberhard Weber is a master colorist. For more than 30 years he has been forging his own brand of impressionistic European jazz, honing an honest expression of a truly original artistic voice. This album is a worthy contribution to a life's work by one of the true innovators of the bass and a great composer as well.
No, it's not a high energy collection, but then neither was Fluid Rustle or The Following Morning, both classics. Definitely more introspective than Later That Evening, which it will no doubt be compared to because of the presence of Paul McCandless, this is an entirely different work, brooding and dark and subtly orchestrated. But this is most definitely not wimpy music.
Special mention should be made of Weber's revisting of "Last Stages of a Long Journey". Originally written for his quartet, Colors and first presented on the "Little Movements" cd, here it is richly orchestrated and expanded. McCandless handles the multi reed chores and the results are fascinating. This piece is a tone poem, so richly evocative and visual, it could've been part of a movie soundtrack. The piece is served well here, with it's added counterpoint and textures. McCandless's bass clarinet is well suited to the chugging, loping bass line. McCandless is the perfect player for the european style changes in the solo section, and plays exceptionally well here.
This CD is graced with the presence of Rainer Brunninghaus, one of the most underrated jazz pianists around. The regular keyboard man in Jan Garbarek's group, Brunninghaus has had a 30 year association with Weber. Needless to say, these gentleman know how to play together.
I don't know anything about Weber's personal life, but it appears to me that in his maturing process he has dealt with the inevitable losses that human beings encounter and is expressing some of the sadness and profound sense of mystery that pervades the work of a great artist in his maturity. Weber demonstrates a deepening what has been the focus of his musical life, that of refining his expression of the ineffable through the use of space and subtle color, to say more with less, a true jazz minimalist and much more. He imbues his deceptively simple structures with something rarely found in classical minimalism, emotional depth. It is interesting to look at the photo of Mr Weber in the typically spare ECM liner notes. There is new element present in his eyes. Call it wisdom, maturity, soulfulness, whatever you call it it is this human quality that pervades Mr Weber's work and is what this CD is all about.
