Eberhard Weber

I'm investigating a possible EUB purchase, looking for video examples, and found this: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBv15FXBBvQ"][url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBv15FXBBvQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBv15FXBBvQ[/url][/url]

Eberhard was the first EUB player I ever heard, with Kate Bush, and has many recordings out on ECM. This ... just awe-inspiring.

edit: I've just [url="http://speakeasy.jazzcorner.com/speakeasy/showthread.php?t=20999"]read[/url] that Eberhard is recovering from a stroke he suffered in April, but was sounding stronger and positive he'll be playing again.

Sorry to hear about Eberhard, hope he makes a full recovery.

It's looking very good indeed: he's playing with Jan Garbarek next week, here in Dublin! ([url="http://www.thehelix.ie/2007_season3/jan_garbarek_group.htm"]link[/url]) :)
Even better, I've actually found out in time (a nice change), and am now entitled to a student discount on tickets. :huh:

He's playing in Manchester too (with Jan Garbarek) at the RNCM, November 17th - I've got tickets and really looking forward to it :huh:

Caution - EW didn't make it to Dublin, it was only announced at the start of the set. I didn't quite catch the name of the sub - Ivan Valyev is the closest I can get - but he did an excellent job on Warwick Thumb 5 (electric). Not the greatest jazz gig I've been at, due to other factors : I'm just back from Miroslav Vitous, at the Cork Jazz Festival, which was Bizarre in the best sense of the word. 8)

Just got back form the gig - he didn't make an apperance in Manchester either...

By the sounds of things the same guy was on, I didn't catch his name either - played a Warwick fretless 5 - he was really good but the Warwick just didn't have enough mwah for me, I think my Overwater would have sounded better :huh:

Thought the stage setup was cool and the lighting added greatly to the mood of events.

There was some great playing and some really cool moments, one of those gigs you come out of (2 hours later - no interval) and go - what just happened?

That reminds me I need to pop out and buy some more reverb before my gig tomorrow, oh and some wind noises too :)
