jazzahead! Podcast #2: German Jazz
Our 2nd podcast is takes a closer look on Jazz made in Germany: Is there a special narrative from German jazz? Is there such thing as German jazz? Or only jazz from Germany? With Stefanie Marcus (Traumton Records) and Andreas Brandis (Act Music & Vision, Tambour Music) jazzahead!’s artistic director Peter Schulze talked about jazz education, musical heritage and influences in Germany. About observations in the live and club scene over the last 15 years. And about what should happen to get more German talent out in the world, when it comes to German export and funding infrastructure. German jazz is a key factor at jazzahead!, the international jazz branch meeting. Being located in Bremen, Germany, jazzahead! has made the German jazz a center stone of the trade fair from the very beginning. The German Jazz Expo is the export platform for jazz made in Germany at jazzahead!, with a showcase module presenting bands from Germany, a focal point at the fair and much more.
