CD Info: Hans Peter Salentin – „The Summer Knows“
Jazz Classics Reimagined – With Groove and Soul
Hans Peter Salentin, one of Europe’s most distinguished jazz trumpeters and acclaimed composers, presents his new album „The Summer Knows“—nine timeless compositions by jazz masters, freshly arranged with a groovy, chilled vibe while preserving the beauty of the originals. Each of these pieces has accompanied Salentin on his artistic journey, holding a special place in his heart.
From Michael Brecker’s „In a Sentimental Mood“ to Tom Harrell’s „The Touch of Your Lips“ and John Coltrane’s „Giant Steps“, these tracks are not only musical masterpieces but also expressions of deep artistic connection.

On „The Summer Knows“, Salentin blends the energy of groove, the ease of chill, and the depth of jazz. Highlights include his versatile solo performances—from the electric bass solo in „In a Sentimental Mood“ to the vibraphone in Bill Evans’ „Periscope“. This music is a labor of love for Salentin, brought to life through his partnership with Taato Gomez.
