Eberhard Weber: A German Jazz Story Weber Eberhard
Eberhard Weber is a virtuoso who revolutionized jazz bass playing. He began his career as a jazz bassist in the 1960s, and his band Colours with the saxophonist Charlie Mariano became one of the most successful jazz groups in Europe. He brought his instrument from the far corner of the stage into the spotlight - and turned it into a solo force.
Weber went on to perform with many the big stars of the international jazz scene, including Wolfgang Dauner, Gary Burton, Pat Metheney and Jan Garbarek. His record Colours of Chloe (made for ECM) was a cult album in its time. He was also a key member of the United Jazz and Rock Ensemble.
Playing the five-string instrument, both in acoustic and electric form, he also became a master of the solo recital, using electronics to accompany his own dexterous improvisations. Weber has not been able to play the bass since he suffered a stroke in April 2007
