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 Modern Jazz Quartet Pyramid Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 24th March 2017 £34.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Modern Jazz Quartet Pyramid £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: PPANSD1325 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 24th March 2017 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Count Basie This Time By Basie Jazz | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 28th April 2014 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Count Basie This Time By Basie £19.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1074 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 28th April 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Michael Wollny's (em) Wasted and Wanted Jazz | ACT | 180g, 1LP Released 26th March 2012 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Michael Wollny's (em) Wasted and Wanted £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT SKU: ACT95151 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 26th March 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dearest Sister Collective Heart Jazz | ACT | 1LP Released 18th November 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dearest Sister Collective Heart £23.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT SKU: ACTLP9953-1 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Julie London Your Number, Please Jazz | Waxtime | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 13th January 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Julie London Your Number, Please £17.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Waxtime SKU: LP771893 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 13th January 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sonny Rollins Way Out West Jazz | Concord Jazz | 180g, 2LP Released 20th April 2018 £93.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sonny Rollins Way Out West £93.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Concord Jazz SKU: 7202912 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 20th April 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pat Metheny Pat Metheny Group (1978) Jazz | ECM | 1LP Released 8th March 2010 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pat Metheny Pat Metheny Group (1978) £17.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ECM SKU: ECM1114 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 8th March 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Grant Green Feelin’ The Spirit Jazz | Blue Note Tone Poet | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 7th October 2022 £33.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Grant Green Feelin’ The Spirit £33.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note Tone Poet SKU: 3573213 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 7th October 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Thelonious Monk Solo Monk Jazz | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 3rd February 2014 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Thelonious Monk Solo Monk £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP843 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 3rd February 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cecil Taylor Silent Tongues Jazz | Org Music | 1LP Released 15th February 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cecil Taylor Silent Tongues £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Org Music SKU: 0711574837410 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 15th February 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
