Her mastery of both
instruments is impressive, but so is her take on music: it is fun, it
is light-footed, rhythmically and structurally complex, emotional and technically superb.

Silke Eberhard is a force in contemporary jazz. Her music is both transparent and biting, blending technical mastery with a passionate, confrontational style.

Eberhard’s compositions are highly compressed and complex, delivered with a dry humor and incisive commentary through her instruments.

Welcher Mehrzeller könnte sich schon rühmen, jemals eine Amöbe mit eigenen Augen gesehen zu haben? Das sehende Ohr begibt sich unweigerlich in einen wimmelnden Mikrokosmos, der von einer Vielzahl unglaublich sympathischer und liebenswerter Wesen bevölkert ist, welche eine völlig andere Weltsicht haben als wir selbst. Dieses Gewimmel basiert zu guten Teilen auf einem Allstar-Cast der Berliner Jazz-Avantgarde, den man in dieser Form selten gesehen hat. Potsa Lotsa XL, das zehnköpfige Ensemble um die Berliner Saxophonistin und Komponistin Silke Eberhard, bewegt sich kraftvoll zwischen Komposition und Improvisation. Mit „Amoeba’s Dance“ präsentiert die Band ein aktuelles Konzertprogramm – inspiriert von mikroskopischer Vielfalt.
