Silke Eberhard Trio - Being-a-Ning

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 it's 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.
