		jazzahead! showcases 2020 program: Large ensembles and female empowerment

The two main themes which emerge from the application round for the 40 showcase slots at jazzahead! 2020 are: an impressive selection of large ensembles and for the very first time, a very substantial number of bands led by women. In the 40 short showcase concerts, the artists selected will be performing for an audience largely consisting of festival programmers, bookers and record label representatives. So the trade fair is not just an important platform for networking, it is also an event where bands are booked on the spot, and contracts are agreed. This year, the four international juries have had a heavier workload than ever: their task has been to listen to, rank and discuss a total of 816 applications from 50 countries (2019: 764). You can read the entire program here. Registrations for the fair are still possible.

jazzahead! matchmaking – Registration starts

jazzahead! has again teamed up with Enterprise Europe Network Bremen to offer the jazzahead! matchmaking service to all professional participants and (co-)exhibitors.
What is a matchmaking?
• Bilateral meetings that are a quick and easy way to meet new potential service providers and cooperation partners
• Attendees meet and greet in 20-minute intervals, then the bell rings and the next meeting begins
• Instead of holding business meetings by chance, our matchmaking sessions guarantee booked meetings at reserved tables
More information on service and registration is available here. For questions regarding the matchmaking service, contact Ole Bast of EEN Bremen.

Bilateral speed meetings enter the third round: German-Canadian speed meetings

Targeted discussions between participants from Germany and the partner country will take place again in 2020, on Friday, 24 April. These scheduled short talks are intended to strengthen bilateral trade relations between players from Germany and Canada and facilitate the exchange of contacts and services in the jazz field. jazzahead! organizes these meetings in cooperation with the Hamburg-based agency Factory 92. Please send requests for participation to busch@jazzahead.de.
