Without a doubt, the two of them are among the most noteworthy discoveries in the young German jazz scene in recent years. Now, Jakob Manz and Johanna Summer come together in a duo, engaging in an intimate, open, and colorful dialogue. Using original compositions, standards, and newer jazz classics like Pat Metheny's "Always And Forever," Manz and Summer create their own musical universe, sometimes delicate and fragile, sometimes rhythmically assertive, and sometimes captivatingly melodic.
