Album lore

Dialoge, released in May 2026 on ACT Music, presents Johanna Summer’s piano work across 25 pieces that traverse jazz and contemporary classical idioms. Recorded under the German label’s auspices, the album’s title signals a conversation between forms and moods, with each track—such as the opening “Arrival” and “Fugatino”—drawing on precise articulation and phrasing.Summer’s playing unfolds with measured restraint and clarity, balancing lyrical passages like “Espressivo, poco animato” against more angular explorations such as “Obstinacy.” The record’s 25 tracks offer a substantial archive for listeners attuned to the intersections of jazz improvisation and composed structures within a European context. Though modest in streaming figures, Dialoge holds a quiet resonance for those tracing piano’s evolving canon.
