Session Program Highlights
jazzahead! 21 COMPACT
The Jazzahead! Compact is online!
jazzahead! digital 2021 was a special moment for the industry: For the first time, the international scene did not meet in Bremen in April, but online on a professional platform due to the pandemic. During four days, panels, lectures, workshops, meetings and last but not least 31 showcase concerts presented the current topics and news of the jazz community.
We have now compiled the contents in a "jazzahead! 2021 Compact" - and besides the overviews of what took place in 2021, you will find some content to relive for everyone, even the non-registered! Enjoy the review and outlook as well as the 31 showcase concerts of jazzahead! digital 2021.
