Jazz from Germany

Jazz represents variety, freedom, openness. And in Germany it is founded upon a wide spectrum of artists and stages, labels and festivals, universities and competitions. The “Jazz aus Deutschland” website provides information on current trends and the most important developments of the past few years, offers links to the jazz scene and introduces selected Goethe-Institut activities.
