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 Larry Young Into Somethin’ Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 19th June 2020 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Larry Young Into Somethin’ £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 852548 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 19th June 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Diana Krall The Look Of Love Jazz | Verve | 180g, 2LP Released 8th August 2016 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Diana Krall The Look Of Love £25.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Verve SKU: 4737707 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 8th August 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Johnny Hodges Johnny Hodges With Billy Strayhorn Jazz | Analogue Productions | 200g, 2LP, 45rpm Released 1st December 2013 £60.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Johnny Hodges Johnny Hodges With Billy Strayhorn £60.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions SKU: AVRJ845245 Formats: 200g, 2LP, 45rpm Released Date: 1st December 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Charlie Haden Nocturne Jazz | Decca | 2LP Released 27th August 2021 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charlie Haden Nocturne £26.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Decca SKU: 3591654 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 27th August 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lundgren & Parisien & Danielsson Into the Night Jazz | ACT | 1LP Released 3rd December 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lundgren & Parisien & Danielsson Into the Night £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT SKU: ACTLP9932-1 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd December 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Arnett Cobb Party Time Jazz | Analogue Productions (Prestige) | 180g, 1LP Released 1st February 2016 £45.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Arnett Cobb Party Time £45.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions (Prestige) SKU: APRJ7165 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 1st February 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jazz Couriers Live in Morecambe 1959 – Tippin Jazz | Gearbox | 180g, 1LP Released 26th January 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jazz Couriers Live in Morecambe 1959 – Tippin £19.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Gearbox SKU: GB1510 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 26th January 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Hicks Steadfast Jazz | Strata East | 180g, 1LP Released 12th November 2021 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Hicks Steadfast £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Strata East SKU: SES 9008 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 12th November 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jamie Cullum Interlude Jazz | Universal/Blue Note | 2LP Released 16th February 2015 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jamie Cullum Interlude £25.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Universal/Blue Note SKU: UNILP70959 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 16th February 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nate Morgan Retribution, Reparation Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 24th September 2021 £34.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Nate Morgan Retribution, Reparation £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: NS-3479 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 24th September 2021 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket See more in Jazz Start again
