Families, as the saying goes, are not something you can choose. However, this is not entirely true: jazzahead! - one of the world's largest trade fairs - has been generally regarded by enthusiasts as a "jazz family reunion" since it was founded in 2006. However, there is no question of family exclusivity here - on the contrary!

In addition to the trade fair block, the jazzahead! festival, which features a partner country every year, will also be presented over three days. This year, for the first time, three countries - Spain, France and Switzerland - will be exploring potential in the areas of "green touring" and artistic exchange in a RECONNECT edition, transforming the Hanseatic city into a jazz metropolis once again. 

The line-up includes top-class artists such as Enji, Lucia and Momi Maiga. The Leipzig scene is also represented by Carl Wittig's Aurora Octet.
