5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece, May 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Later That Evening (Audio CD)

When I heard Eberhard Weber live in 1980, it changed my life. It was the most incredible music I had ever heard, and I've been a huge fan of his since. This music surrounds you with its beauty, a blend of traditional European classical music, American jazz, and ethnic rhythms. From moments of sublime simplicity to all out "blowing", each piece seems to be logically linked to the next, like four movements of a larger composition. And producer Manfred Eicher and the ECM crew can create a sound like nobody else. Turn it up loud, and listen to the whole CD . . . again and again!

The thing about Eberhard Weber's music, including this release, is that
you have to LISTEN closely. You don't catch it all the first few times.
And then - it all makes sense, like a perfectly crafted story, with subtle
details, twists and turns, leading to a logical ending. Listen for the
very subtle (but DEFINITE) voices in "Carwash" about halfway in that re-
appear after the initial voices at the beginning; almost WHISPERING, as if
they're up to something no good. And such ATMOSPHERE, almost like a
soundtrack. So eerie, beautiful, and brilliant. In the title track, listen
to the way Weber ties it all together toward the end with Lyle Mays'
gorgeous piano work. It's a beautifully constructed recording all the way
through, as is one of my other favorite Weber releases, "The Colors of
Chloe", which is a benchmark early ECM classic and an incredible debut for
Weber on ECM. Brilliant art of the highest order. I've listened to both
recordings hundreds of times. Bless you Manfred Eicher for ECM records,
which became a very important part of my life years ago, and still is.
Like many of Weber's other ECM releases, "Later" is a masterpiece.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent ambiant, flowing, intense jazz., September 27, 1998

By A Customer

Tracks 2 and 4 are standout selections on this CD. Webber and company (McCandless, DiPasqua, Frisell, Mays) play with true emotion swelling to free flying highs as well as intense quiet moments. The production quality is outstanding.
