Uwe Oberg piano Silke Eberhard alto saxophone, clarinet

Silke Eberhard and Uwe Oberg play compositions by Carla Bley, Annette Peacock, Jimmy Giuffre and originals. Music related to Paul Bley: perhaps a homage. Musical trails has been left and small revolutions triggered. Oberg & Eberhard take them up and lead them without sentimentality to today.

Here is a man as comfortable with one hand on the keys and the other in the belly of his grand piano beast as he is delicately playing by the rules with both hands on deck.” (London Jazz News)
