On this
ECM release, bassist
Eberhard Weber has taken various solo pieces from live performances spanning 17 years with
Jan Garbarek, rearranged them, and added other instruments to create new compositions. Since
Weber can no longer play bass because of a stroke he suffered in 2007, the method he invokes on
Résumé allows him to create new compositions and maintain his pensive creativity. Along with
Weber's electric standup bass, keyboards, and electronics, he enlisted the saxophones and flute of
Jan Garbarek for the tracks "Tübingen," "Amsterdam," and "Bath," and percussionist
Michael DiPasqua on "Bochum" and "Lazise." The live performances originally took place in Germany, Austria, Italy, France, England, the Netherlands, and Chile. ~ Al Campbell
