The critic from this respected newspaper marvelled at her “amazing gift to make well-known melodies sound so convincingly her own, they develop a real sense of creative urgency.” Summer’s winning of the prize itself became almost incidental; far more significant was the fact that this competition heralded the arrival of one of the most interesting new pianists in European jazz. For her debut album, Summer has chosen to make compositions by Robert Schumann the point of departure for her journeys into pianistic fantasy. Schumann’s cycles of piano pieces ‘Kinderszenen’ (scenes from childhood) and ‘Album für die Jugend’ (album for the young) had been familiar to her since childhood, not just as player and listener but also – because Schumann was from nearby Zwickau – as works by someone from her region of Germany. From an early age she was enchanted by both the melodic and the pictorial aspects of these short pieces. And yet, to make her own adaptations of seven of the pieces was a far from a simple task: “I worked for a long time on re-casting them, trying out all of the pieces in all keys and in a lot of different time signatures, creating several miniature interpretations and finally arrived at this selection, which I shaped into a cohesive sequence with a single arc.” The depth of her involvement with the original Schumann pieces comes across strongly on the album. As does her impressive and complex personality as a jazz musician with a very wide range of expression: romantic passages and an instinct for melody but also powerful grooves and exciting innovations. And all imbued with a sense of how to tell stories through music, a mature and clear vision of dramaturgy, dynamics, tension and atmosphere. A sentence written by Schumann seems to predict exactly the kind of new life that Johanna Summer has breathed into these pieces: “How infinite is the realm of forms, with everything that can be used and worked on for centuries to come.” Artist Johanna Summer Genre Jazz Label ACT Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Glückes genug - Erster Verlust Mai, lieber Mai - Ritter vom Steckenpferd Knecht Ruprecht - Träumerei Von fremden Ländern und Menschen Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Johanna Summer and more from Jazz View Product Quick View Johanna Summer Resonanzen Jazz | ACT | 1LP Released 27th January 2023 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Johanna Summer Resonanzen £23.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT SKU: ACTLP9767-1 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th January 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Red Norvo Trio Men At Work Jazz | Vogue | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 17th November 2017 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Red Norvo Trio Men At Work £16.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Vogue SKU: 88985448291 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 17th November 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Anthony Wilson Trio Our Gang Jazz | Groove Note | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released 24th April 2024 £73.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Anthony Wilson Trio Our Gang £73.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Groove Note SKU: GRV1008-45 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released Date: 24th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jack DeJohnette Sorcery Jazz | Craft Recordings | 180g, 1LP Released 11th August 2023 £36.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jack DeJohnette Sorcery £36.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Craft Recordings SKU: 7244082 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 11th August 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Miles Davis Black Beauty Jazz | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 11th November 2016 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Miles Davis Black Beauty £24.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1427 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 11th November 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Grachan Moncur III Evolution Jazz | Heavenly Sweetness | 180g, 1LP Released 19th April 2023 £60.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Grachan Moncur III Evolution £60.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Heavenly Sweetness SKU: nn261971 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 19th April 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket Nearly New View Product Quick View Joe Henderson Inner Urge Jazz | Blue Note | 1LP Released 3rd April 2024 £20.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Joe Henderson Inner Urge £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: nn283833 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Machito Kenya Afro Cuban Jazz Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 26th January 2012 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Machito Kenya Afro Cuban Jazz £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: SR52006 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 26th January 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Matthew Halsall Salute to the Sun Live at Hallé St. Peter’s Jazz | Gondwana | 2LP Released 3rd December 2021 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Matthew Halsall Salute to the Sun Live at Hallé St. Peter’s £27.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Gondwana SKU: GONDLP047 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 3rd December 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bob James Feel Like Making LIVE!
