Johanna Summer & Jakob Manz

In the organizer's words:

The duo of pianist Johanna Summer and saxophonist Jakob Manz is a rare stroke of luck in German jazz. Two of its outstanding young characters, virtuosic, courageous, with broad horizons and an unmistakable musical signature. Two with a common understanding of jazz as a vocabulary for telling new, personal stories. Both are deeply rooted in the jazz idiom, but expand it with their individual influences: Jazz, pop, classical music, improvisation, composition - Johanna Summer and Jakob Manz distil all these elements into the smallest possible format of musical interaction on their second joint album Cameo: the duo.

Its special magic lies in searching for and finding new music together, listening to and reacting to each other and the way in which the two protagonists, who are as different as they are close, complement and surprise each other time and again. For some magical reason, much of Summer and Manz's music happens in unison, even though it was unforeseeable until a fraction of a second beforehand. This testifies to the duo's great alertness and sensitivity.
