Jazz Federation e.V.

In the page's words:

The Jazz Federation is a non-profit organization that promotes jazz in Hamburg through concerts and projects. We focus on quality and teamwork.

Our aim is to offer our guests a varied and high-quality concert program at all times. With a mix of international and Hamburg groups, we want to provide concert experiences that people will remember with pleasure. We also support the Hamburg jazz scene in a variety of ways and implement projects at Hamburg schools.

In the current 22/23 season, we are staging around five concerts a month at various venues. Of particular note here is our new main venue, the JazzHall, a pioneering building designed specifically for jazz.

Today, the association consists of a voluntary team of people aged between 20 and 75, including active jazz musicians, as well as more than 300 members.
