Or the absence of shyness before the radical provisional? Not at all. Away from habit. In the face of the blurred - be it the racing glow of the passing train in the twilight - in the transition between light and dark. Developed in the midst of a point of passage and planned with a view to fundamental changeability and personal as well as musical border crossings, the Leipzig Jazz Days in their 44th year will offer a stage to the abrupt, continuous as well as delicate process of change and transgression with "Transitions".
Or: Okay, cool! They actually take place. In the midst of the summer heat, we turned everything upside down, because it was clear that if you want to organize this year, you have to be flexible, vehemently engage in new things and remain optimistic despite this hook-ridden year and its events. Whether investigative and tirelessly on the road in the network of advance booking office employees, on the hunt for advertisements, at the same time still filing the application texts for the next year or just before the last minute (and it was actually always close) still putting a mad festival motif into the world - in the intoxication of sleeplessness and with the unconditional will, to let the Leipziger Jazztage take place again this year, to contribute to the fact that the live operation can go on under changed conditions, we have maneuvered ourselves through the last weeks. Now there are only a few days left and the anticipation is growing. Hopefully also with you.
