Eberhard Weber is well-known by his collaboration on some best jazz artist's albums, but at the same time he is one of ECM label's leading solo musician as well.

"Later Than Evening" contains just four compositions, but with a help of some great musicians participated it could be mentioned as one of the best Weber's release. Sound is crystal clear,crisp and very airy - as you can expect from ECM classic release. Music on the album is relaxed, down tempo, quite often almost liquid and rhythmless, minimalistic but precise.

Album's opener "Maurizius" is composition, heavily rooted in classical music, but played very relaxed,almost ambient-like. In this case ECM sound is more attractive for listening than composition itself."Death in the Carwash" for sure is central album's song and one of the best Weber's composition ever. With help of Frisell's guitar and more energetic Michael DiPasqua drumming, it got flesh and blood, and demonstrate some ascetic, but signature-like Weber custom-made bass leaks.

"Often In The Open" contains dramatic Lyle Mays ( Pat Metheny's collaborator for years) piano and DiPasqua's drums interplays with energetic bass - another great album's composition!"Later That Evening" returns back to opener's fashion - liquid and ambient,but characterless composition, very common for many ECM releases (for good and bad).

In all, album represents some great Weber's moments, and some quite common as well. Strong album for ECM sound maniacs, it is only in part interesting for more adventure jazz lovers.
