"In the wake of two Uwe Oberg's solo piano CDs comes a duo with a saxophone player Silke Eberhard. They are mature musicians drawing from vast experiences of all kinds of music, ready to sacrifice their egos for the sake of creating unforgettable music. Half of the dozen pieces on the CD are standards by Carla Bley, Jimmy Giuffre and Annette Peacock, but pieces by Uwe and Silke have every chance to becoming jazz standards as well."-Leo
Artist Biographies
• Show Bio for Uwe Oberg "Uwe Oberg *1962 Offenbach / Germany, lives in Wiesbaden nearby Frankfurt. He started playing piano at the age of seven, moved in the early 80s from popular music to Jazz and joined in 1986 the KOOPERATIVE NEW JAZZ / ARTist Wiesbaden, an association of improvising musicians. Improvisation is the keyword for his work. Impressed by Free Jazz and New Music, he developed exceptional piano techniques; influences are Thelonious Monk, Paul Bley, Cecil Taylor, Don Pullen, Ran Blake, Andrew Hill, the music of Anthony Braxton, the early piano compositions of John Cage as well as european free improvisation. He is also a composer and a highly individual interpret of Jazz-compositions. He works in various musical contexts: as a soloist he bends the bow from inside piano to the music of Monk. With LACY POOL he dives into the music of Steve Lacy, the duo with SILKE EBERHARD plays originals as well as music by Carla Bley, Annette Peacock a.o. ROPE is an improvising quartet with european line-up. Whatever Oberg plays, he transforms each material in his very personal, twinkling sound without musical borders. Beside fixed projects he enjoys the improvised encounter with musicians from different styles and cultures. He often played in combination with other artforms, theatre / dance / lyrics, currently mainly with silent films, as a soloist and with ensembles.
