Endless Days is an album by German double bassist and composer Eberhard Weber recorded in Norway in 2000 and released on the ECM label.^[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by David R. Adler awarded the album 2½ stars stating "Weber's new compositions involve little improvisation and a steadfast avoidance of typical jazz vocabulary. Evocative and thoroughly composed, these tracks have something of a European classical, chamber jazz feel... Well done and moving at times, but a bit mild and innocuous overall".^[2] All About Jazz noted "Endless Days occupies a distinct niche in the accumulating body of ECM records with sparse, reverberant sound and stark, often melancholy themes. The "composed" aspect of the record offers a degree of formalism that sets it apart from some of the more improvised music on the label".^[3]
