Alto saxophonist Jakob Manz and the pianist Johanna Summer
"A small sensation" (SZ). With her new solo programme Johanna Summer continues the unique concept that already brought her debut "Schumann Kaleidoskop" enormous recognition from the media, fellow musicians and the audience. With profound technique, influenced by classical music as well as jazz and impressive creative power, she improvisatorily plays the music of classical composers. Always new, always different.
Jakob Manz and Johanna Summer have known and appreciated each other since their time at Bundesjazzorchester.
Their parths crossed again and again until they ended up on stage at a few exclusive dates as a duo. Based on classic pieces, their own compositions or jazz standards, they create their own musical universe, sometimes delicate and fragile, sometimes rhythmically gripping, sometimes enthrallingly melodic.
