Without a doubt, the two are among the most widely acclaimed discoveries in young German jazz in recent years. On this album Jakob Manz and Johanna Summer enter into a heartfelt, open and dazzling dialogue as a duo. On the basis of their own compositions, standards and newer jazz classics such as Pat Metheny’s “Always and Forever”, Manz and Summer create their own musical universe, sometimes delicate and fragile, sometimes rhythmically gripping, sometimes powerfully melodic.
