The German Jazz Meeting aims at making German bands better known to an international audience. For that means, important festival promoters, journalists and agents from all over the world have been invited to hear current projects from German jazz in a live setting. With the event, the German Jazz Meeting association hopes to boost the international attention for German jazz abroad.
The German Jazz Meeting is staged in co-operation with WFB GmbH, and is funded by the Initiative Musik gGmbH, a funding agency set up by the German federal government to promote the music industry in Germany.
Based on an initiative of the Bundeskonferenz Jazz, a loose assembly of major German jazz organisations, German Jazz Meeting Association was founded in summer 2005 at Jazzinstitut Darmstadt. Similar to its models in other European countries, the Dutch Jazz Meeting in the Netherlands i.e. or the Finnish Jazz Weekend, the German Jazz Meeting is a bi-annual showcase festival presenting the richness and variety of the contemporary German jazz and improvisation scene to an international audience.
We are looking forward to meet you at jazzahead! fair in Bremen. You will find us at booth A10 vis--vis to the Borgward concert hall where the German Jazz Meeting concerts take place in the afternoon of April, 23rd and 24th, 2010.
