Eberhard Weber - The Colours Of Chloë
How many great Eberhard Weber albums are there on ECM? A good amount… The Colours Of Chloë once again showcases upright bassist Eberhard Weber’s mastery of composition, space, ambience, emotion, and his instrument. This is fusion in the fullest sense, but, unlike most music in the genre, there’s no showboating here and Weber only takes the lead when the track calls for it. Call it “ambient jazz”, if you will (there’s one YouTube video out there with that exact text), but there’s a beauty here from beyond that doesn’t require genre distinctions!
