Johanna Summer & Michael Abene - Out Of Place | WDR BIG BAND

The WDR BIG BAND plays "Out Of Place" (composer: Johanna Summer / arranger: Michael Abene) with Johanna Summer on piano. Solos are played by Lennart Allkemper on tenor saxophone and Ruud Breuls on flugelhorn. The WDR BIG BAND is conducted by Michael Abene, former chief conductor of the WDR BIG BAND. Recorded as part of the "Youngcats II" concert at the WDR Funkhaus (April 2023).
Promoting young talent at its best: In its "Young Cats" concerts, the WDR Big Band presents exceptional young talent from the German jazz scene. This time it's pianist Johanna Summer and trumpeter Jakob Bänsch. Both were members of the Bundesjazzorchester, the world's only talent factory for future professional jazz musicians, and have already played alongside numerous jazz greats such as Jiggs Whigham, Django Bates, Bob Mintzer and Jim Snidero. And with their own formations they have long since made a name for themselves - despite their young age: impulsive and exceptionally creative.

Johanna is so highly gifted, both as a composer + performer. Love her use of rhythm, also variety, including trio sections. Lennart and Ruud amazing!

Hi Martin! And she is still young, there will be much more to hear from Johanna in the years to come.

Such a wonderful feat! Great cooperation and wishing the young talented musicians best in all their endeavors.
Paraphrasing Johanna Summer’s “Out of Place”, they are in the right place where they belong.
