Silke Eberhard’s Chamber Works
Silke Eberhard is by far one of the most brilliant yet technically challenging of all modern jazz composers, a woman who bases her improvisation style on the late Eric Dolphy but whose compositions take off from Dolphy’s into a different cosmos. Like wht equally brilliant (but much quieter) music of Swiss pianist Luzia von Wyl, Eberhard pushes the boundaries of Third Stream jazz in way that no American has done or, I daresay, would attempt to do because the results are so far-out that they only appeal to listeners with a wide experience in listening to complex modern music both jazz and classical.
