RésuméOpis:Product DescriptionThe great German bassist Eberhard Weber played hundreds of concerts in his time as a member of the Jan Garbarek Group, and each of them included an extended feature for him alone, often effectively a spontaneous composition rather than a 'bass solo' in strict jazz sense. For Résumé Weber has returned to recordings of these 'transitional' solo sequences (they were conceived originally to join two compositional blocks of various keys, colours and tempi as the group's programme progressed) and reworked a few of them into an album with its own sense of flow. The unique sound of Eberhard's customised electric bass is heard here mostly in the context of his own keyboard settings and treatments, but also augmented by the saxophones and overtone flute of Jan Garbarek (on three tracks) and by the percussion of Michael DiPasqua. Based on live recordings made between 1990 and 2007 at locations from Karlsruhe to Santiago, Amsterdam to Bath, the album was mixed in the South of France by Weber, Manfred Eicher, Michael di Pasqua and Gérard de Haro in 2011. Writing about this album, Weber says: "My special instrument, a five-string electric double bass, is capable of striking sonic effects, which happily can be further enriched by a "reverb unit" to record my bass live, to reproduce it [for] my own spontaneous playback over which I could play solo improvisations; that was the only way I could successfully sustain long solo recitals. I am not concerned about whether what I originally played is still recognisable - using the delay effect already produced astonishing overlays per se. Now, after completing the individual solo excerpts, not even I can always spontaneously hear what I originally played and what I added later on... "I had always been trying to depart from the original functions of the bass - at least occasionally - and to strike out on new paths which one could not describe as "conforming to its nature." And I am proud to present sounds whereby virtually no one would think that they came from that deep, low instrument, never mind that they can be played on any instrument: presented without qualm. Workable colouration, inventing fascinating sounds; those were my goals." Personnel: Eberhard Weber (bass, keyboards), Jan Garbarek (soprano and tenor saxophones, selje flute), Michael Di Pasqua (drums, percussion)Review'A suite of music of dark and deep, yet also rhythmically engaging, at times even playful, substance: featuring judicious use of digital delay and loops...perhaps the most thoroughly arresting of all the albums Weber has made.' -- Jazz Journal, (Michael Tucker) * * * * *'With overdubs, careful sequencing and new parts, Weber creates a rich, meditative suite that's on a par with his best work.' -- The Times, (John Bungey) * * * *'There's a bittersweet quality about the ravishing tunes on Resume...the broad, sonorous tones of his five-string bass sing from the heart, making the loss of this towering giant of European jazz all the more poignant...an elegant swansong.' -- Prog, (Sid Smith)'One of the first bassists to give the instrument an explicitly melodic role...his sound is utterly unique and compelling.' -- The Irish Times, (Cormac Larkin)'An intelligent and unusual use of live-recording riches from the vaults, of which ECM seems to have almost an embarrassment.' -- LondonJazzNews, (Chris Parker)'What emerges is a valuable project, in many ways an anthology of Weber's solo work with Garbarek. It underlines what a remarkable virtuoso Weber was; always extraordinary, always challenging the temporal limits of his electric upright bass.' -- Jazzwise, (Stuart Nicholson)'Garbarek's contributions are thoughtful and tender, and DiPasqua adds a heartracing intensity to the fast-moving Bochum and dramatic cymbal flourishes to the rich-textured Lazise.' --The Guardian, (John Fordham)Autor:Eberhard WeberNośnik:Audio CDPłyt:Język: English: Published; English: Original Language; EnglishData wydania: 2012-11-26Waga: 0.27 gramWysokość: 0.5 cmSzerokość: 5 cmDługość: 5.6 cmEberhard Weber- ResumeUWAGA: Kupując produkt na tej aukcji zgadzasz się na wydłużony termin realizacji wysyłki (10-14 dni roboczych).
