Jakob Manz & Johanna Summer

The duo of pianist Johanna Summer and saxophonist Jakob Manz is a rare stroke of luck in German jazz: two of its outstanding young characters, virtuosic, courageous, with broad horizons and an unmistakable musical signature

Two with a common understanding of jazz as a vocabulary for telling new, personal stories.
Both are deeply rooted in the jazz idiom, but expand it with their individual influences: Jazz, pop, classical music, improvisation, composition - Johanna Summer and Jakob Manz distil all these elements into the smallest possible format of musical interaction on their second joint album Cameo (ACT Music): the duo.

Its special magic lies in searching for and finding new music together, listening to and reacting to each other and the way in which the two protagonists, who are as different as they are close, complement and surprise each other time and again.
