Concert at KlangWert/werk3
"Eberhard also leads a superb trio ... In this stellar configuration, Eberhard presents her own compositions, flexible and attractive vehicles rooted in hard-swinging post-bop that nevertheless provide her with great freedom." (Downbeat Magazine, Peter Margasak) The trio, which was founded in 2006 but whose roots go back to the mid-1990s, has developed its own artistic language over the years. "This music swings and swings resolutely into the flow of the "New Thing" in jazz, which has been flowing for a good half century. It is an emphatic declaration of allegiance by those born after Dolphy, Coleman, Mingus and Monk (...). Silke Eberhard's music comes from there and yet is completely independent. In the source material used for the compositions, in the gesture, in its freshness and vitality. And in its gripping improvisational approach. (...) Her band with bassist Jan Roder and drummer Kay Lübke is a classically cast trio, a magical triangle that plays like a dream." (Ulrich Steinmetzger)
