Encore (Eberhard Weber album)

Encore is a live album by German jazz double bassist and composer Eberhard Weber recorded at various locations between 1990 and 2007 and released on the ECM label on 6 February 2015.

After suffering a major stroke in 2007 and unable to fully play ever since, Weber decided to remake his live solo recordings performed during the preceding two decades.

To avoid repetition, I invited the Dutch trumpeter Ack Van Rooyen for Encore.

The material was mixed and edited at Studios La Buissonne in the South of France in November 2014.

"[6] In his review for The Guardian, John Fordham commented, " Encore is often as wistfully reflective as might be expected from the circumstances of its creation, but a thoughtful composer’s sensibility directed Weber’s work as both an improviser and a leader from the beginning - in these imaginative reconstructions, it still does.
