Johanna Summer & Jakob Manz - Flugzeuge im Bauch (Official Video)

The duo of pianist Johanna Summer and saxophonist Jakob Manz is a stroke of luck for the young European jazz scene: the pair are two of its stand-out figures, each blessed with supreme virtuosity, indomitable boldness, broad musical horizons, and an unmistakable individual signature. Their thorough grounding in jazz can be clearly discerned, but at the same time one can hear how they broaden the idiom, welcoming in all kinds of other influences. For Johanna Summer, classical music is particularly prevalent. She regularly performs in major classical music venues, playing free im-provisations on everything from Bach to Ligeti, both solo and in a duo with Igor Levit. Jakob Manz’s musical heritage and leanings are very different: his combination of the melodic and rhythmic power of pop with the sensitivity of jazz is totally compelling. He has deep admiration for pop-jazz crossover artists such as Dave Sanborn and Marcus Miller, and through his recent work with German pop star Sarah Connor, the art of projecting his lively sound into huge venues has now become second nature.
