Little Movements is an album by German double bassist and composer Eberhard Weber recorded in 1980 and released on the ECM label.[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 3 stars, stating, "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]
