As a bass player Weber is known for his highly distinctive tone and phrasing. Since the early 1980s Weber has regularly collaborated with the British singer-songwriter Kate Bush playing on four out of her last five studio albums (The Dreaming 1982; Hounds of Love 1985; The Sensual World 1989; Aerial 2005). The ECM association also led to collaborations with other ECM recording artists such as Gary Burton (Ring 1974; Passengers 1976) Ralph Towner (Solstice 1975; Solstice/Sound and Shadows 1977) Pat Metheny (Watercolors 1977) and Jan Garbarek (10 recordings between 1978 and 1998).
