LET'S TALK ABOUT...
"There's a very forward-thinking attitude underlying jazz," said RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan in an interview for Musikexpress in February 2018. That this also applies to music journalism must be doubted ten months later; Intro, Spex and Groove have meanwhile switched off the lights.
At least Groove will still be available in digital form in 2019 - and Jazz Podium will continue after all, with new people at a new location. We are excited and, in times of sweeping media criticism on all fronts, we continue to trust in independent journalism. And we are also excited about upcoming concerts and trust in independent art. We would like to remind you now that independent art, just like journalism, can be committed, can inspire you to think and feel, to rethink (yourself) and to take action, when many people are once again confusing mulled wine-injected contemplativeness with contemplation.
Subscribe to Jazz thing or Kreuzer, buy the 2018 albums by Moment's Concept, Eva Klesse, Johannes Bigge, Jan Roth and Philipp Rumsch - and don't forget the words of the Future III Brigade: "We add a categorical imperative of action to Future 2, since an event will only have happened in the future if the conditions for it have first been created in the future."
The future begins in a second!
