The unique meeting of young German jazz is an important contribution to the image of a lively music city Leipzig. Enthusiasm, joy of playing, un- stellar originality and curiosity of the musicians to get to know each other combine to create eventful festival days. The Leipzig HMT band Eva Klesse Quartet was also selected from 60 applications.
