Schumann Kaleidoskop Johanna Summer SKU: ACTLP9681-1 Barcode: 0614427968111 20.00 £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT Released Date: 7th May 2021 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info The Süddeutsche Zeitung hailed Johanna Summer’s performance at the Young Munich Jazz Prize in 2018 as “a small sensation.” The pianist, born in Plauen in Saxony in 1995, had encompassed the whole gamut, from jazz freedom to classical rigour. 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 Joel Ross Nublues Jazz | Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Blue Note | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 9th February 2024 £35.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Joel Ross Nublues £35.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Blue Note SKU: 5837663 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 9th February 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Manhattan Transfer, The Vocalese Jazz | Exhibit Records | 180g, 1LP Released 14th April 2014 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Manhattan Transfer, The Vocalese £27.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Exhibit Records SKU: AEXH44063 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 14th April 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sun Ra Sleeping Beauty Jazz | Art Yard | 1LP Released 20th March 2010 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sun Ra Sleeping Beauty £15.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Art Yard SKU: KSAY3NLP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th March 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Stanley Turrentine Up At Minton’s Volume 2 Jazz | Analogue Productions | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Gatefold Sleeve Released 2nd September 2010 £52.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Stanley Turrentine Up At Minton’s Volume 2 £52.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions SKU: AMMJ4070 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 2nd September 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Coltrane Blue Paris Jazz | Birdland | 1LP, Includes CD Released 12th September 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Coltrane Blue Paris £17.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Birdland SKU: BIRD018 Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 12th September 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers The Witch Doctor Jazz | Blue Note Tone Poet | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 4th June 2021 £36.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers The Witch Doctor £36.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note Tone Poet SKU: 3514860 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 4th June 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ida Sand Do You Hear Me?
