Jazz from Germany - Structures

Clubs and Festivals in Germany

Jazz clubs in East and West Germany differed in their historic development. In spite of a definite decline since the 1990’s, in spite of the global economic crisis and financial thinning-out at the edges of culture

Jazz on the radio

There are many facets to the jazz and improvised music we hear on the radio: programs about styles from the past or the very latest in improvisation, recordings by musicians from particular regions, concerts and, sometimes, even festivals.

Studying Jazz

Anybody wanting to study jazz in Germany these days has a whole range of possibilities. The country has 18 universities and music conservatories that provide a broad spectrum of courses. 

Jazz Labels in Germany

Germany’s jazz label landscape is colourful and the music industry diverse, in spite of the ongoing economic crisis. There are a number of reasons for this.
