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.

Freejazz Stef

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.

Silke Eberhard Trio @ Fat Jazz Hamburg
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.
