Silke Eberhard - Portrait

2017 CD collection.

As one of the more under-recognized labels releasing excellent creative jazz, it’s somehow fitting that Jazzwerkstatt has been one of the chief outlets for the work of chronically under-recognized saxophonist/clarinetist Silke Eberhard. Her Potsa Lotsa project dedicated to revisiting the work of Eric Dolphy has perhaps been her most noteworthy endeavor for the label, but she’s had a number of other dates that are also worthy of serious engagement by those who love adventurous jazz with a strong rhythmic and lyrical core. Jazzwerkstatt has packaged two of those here, along with her Potsa Lotsa disc, in a discounted three-CD box set that offers a splendid overview of much of Eberhard’s work during the past decade.
