More Info

Saxophonist, clarinetist and composer Silke Eberhard has been shaping the Berlin jazz scene for many years. Her trio with Jan Roder and Kay Lübke was formed in 2006, with Eberhard's history with the two musicians going back to the mid-nineties.
The intense relationship between the three can be heard in every note. The trio moves in the proud tradition of saxophone jazz trios and plays its own, highly original compositions. Their art inspires with musical mastery, improvisational intensity, wit and charm, while forging strong accents through mutual trust and the band's particular sound. „The trio play her complex and varied pieces with aplomb and offhand virtuosity. At the same time they capture an explosive, rail-against-the-limits quality", writes Kevin Whitehead in the liner notes. As on their two previous Intakt releases with the trio Being The Up And Down and The Being Inn, the artwork on the cover was created by Roman Signer, one of the most renowned Swiss artists of our time.

Bird, Monk, Dolphy, vor allem Dolphy. Und die Folgen. Bei Braxton, Roscoe Mitchell, Oliver
Lake... Und bei der Leaderin des SILKE EBERHARD TRIOs, die, zusammen mit Jan Roder
am Bass, Kay Lübke an Drums und Henry Threadgills Zooid im Hinterkopf, bei Being-a-
Ning (Intakt CD 435) den Bebop-Bug im 21. Jh. willkommen heißt. Um Monks 'Rhythm-a-
Ning' mit ihrem zentralen Begriff 'Being' zu verbinden. Für neue Tänze ('New Dance') mit
'Rubber Boots', eine 'Stranger Bossa', einen Streifzug mit Kratzebogen in 'Die Urwald II'.
'Hans im Glück' tauscht einen 'Golden Fish' gegen leere Hände, es genügen die übervoll
kreativen Köpfe. Eine so kecke, quicklebendige Form des Seins wie die hier mit dem Altosax
gefeierte, in Roders Fingern juckende, mit Stöckchen und Muscheln aufgerührte, aus
welchem Forellenbach ist sie gefischt, aus welchem Jungbrunnen gezaubert? Nibbelt man
da schon am Cthulhuzän, und der Urwald ist ein Weib? Intervallsprünge, Synkopen,
singende und murmelnde Fingerbeeren, kichernde Stöckchen, die Beats ein Klacks, ein
hagelnder, knatternder Groove. Jedes Stück ein Wimmelbild aus Schlaraffenland, der
Duktus wenn nicht aufgekratzt, dann lakonisch oder versponnen, die Erscheinung veränderlich
wie bei 'nem Octopus.

Anmeldelse

Trioen til tyske Silke Eberhard hinter til cooljazz, men er mest av alt muntre.

Lek-ing

Når man velger en albumtittel som <«Being-a-Ning», skaper det nødvendigvis visse forventninger blant jazzentusiaster. Tittelen er et spill på Thelonious Monks <». Dette antyder lekenhet.

Den tyske altsaksofonisten Silke Ebehrad album-debuterte som gjest på United Women's Orchestras 1999-utgivelse «Blue One», og har utover en betydelig andel originalmateriale tolket både Ornette Coleman og Eric Dolphy. Siden siste halvdel av 2000-tallet har trioen hennes med kon-trabassisten Jan Roder og trommeslageren Kay Lübke vært det ensemblet hun har jobbet mest regelmessig med. Deres albumdebut fra 2008 het <
