Little Movements is an album by Eberhard Weber and Colours, recorded in July 1980 and released on ECM the following year. Weber's Colours Quartet features saxophonist Charlie Mariano, pianist Rainer Brüninghaus, and drummer John Marshall.[1]
Reception
[edit]The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated that "the generally introspective music develops slowly and the occasional fiery moments are outnumbered by the quiet spots. A close listen does reveal some fine playing but most jazz collectors will probably think of this set as being superior background music."[2]
