title="Germany">Germany</a>. In his book <i>Jazz – Eine Musikalische Zeitfrage</i> (Jazz – A Musical Issue) of 1927, Paul Bernhard relates the term Jazz to a specific dance. When dancer <a href="/wiki/Josephine_Baker" title="Josephine Baker">Josephine Baker</a> visited <a href="/wiki/Berlin" title="Berlin">Berlin</a> in 1925, she found it dazzling. "The city had a jewel-like sparkle," she said, "the vast cafés reminded me of ocean liners powered by the rhythms of their orchestras. There was music everywhere." Eager to look ahead after the crushing defeat of <a href="/wiki/World_War_I" title="World War I">World War I</a>, Weimar Germany embraced the modernism that swept through Europe and was crazy about jazz. In the <i>dancing mania</i> of the post-war period, there were not only modern dances such as the tango and foxtrot, but in 1920 also the <a href="/wiki/Shimmy" title="Shimmy">Shimmy</a> and in 1922 the <a href="/wiki/Two-step_(dance_move)" title="Two-step (dance move)">Two-step</a>. In 1925 the <a href="/wiki/Charleston_(dance)" title="Charleston (dance)">Charleston</a> dominated the dance halls. Even when under great criticism <a href="/wiki/Bernhard_Sekles" title="Bernhard Sekles">Bernhard Sekles</a> initiated the first academic jazz studies anywhere at the <a href="/wiki/Hoch_Conservatory" title="Hoch Conservatory">Hoch Conservatory</a> in Frankfurt in 1928 - the first courses in the United States were started in the mid-1940s.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The director of the jazz department was <a href="/wiki/M%C3%A1ty%C3%A1s_Seiber" title="Mátyás Seiber">Mátyás Seiber</a>.

By January 1920, "<a href="/wiki/Tiger_Rag" title="Tiger Rag">Tiger Rag</a>" had already been marketed by a German record company. In the early 1920s, the clarinetist and saxophonist <a href="/wiki/Eric_Borchard" class="mw-redirect" title="Eric Borchard">Eric Borchard</a> was making recordings in Germany. Borchard's first recordings show a heavy influence of <a href="/wiki/Alcide_Nunez" title="Alcide Nunez">Alcide Nunez</a>; he soon developed his own style. By 1924 his band was comparable to good American bands such as the <a href="/wiki/Original_Memphis_Five" title="Original Memphis Five">Original Memphis Five</a>. Borchard's band included New Orleans trombonist <a href="/wiki/Emile_Christian" title="Emile Christian">Emile Christian</a>. From 1920 to 1923, due to both economic turmoil and inflation, larger German jazz orchestras that played the new jazz dances were a rarity. Initially, a trio with a pianist, a drummer and a "Stehgeiger" (standing violinist), who also played the saxophone, was most common. Only after 1924 an economic stability was achieved, and an economic basis for larger dance orchestras was possible, like those founded by Bernard Etté, <a href="/wiki/Dajos_B%C3%A9la" title="Dajos Béla">Dajos Béla</a>, <a href="/wiki/Marek_Weber" title="Marek Weber">Marek Weber</a>, <a href="/wiki/Efim_Schachmeister" title="Efim Schachmeister">Efim Schachmeister</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Stefan_Weintraub" title="Stefan Weintraub">Stefan Weintraub</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It was the predominant element of improvisation that was met with a lack of understanding in Germany, where people had always played concrete written notes; Marek Weber, for example, demonstratively left the podium if its nightly band played jazz interludes. </p><p>In 1920–23, there was a period of economic turbulence and inflation in Germany, until 1924 when the market stabilized and money was invested in entertainment. Consequently, the mid-1920s brought forth a growth of larger bands who agreed to play jazz music. The two most popular German bands that showed the influence of American jazz were Eric Borchard's small combo, and Stefan Weintraub's Syncopators.<sup id="cite_ref-mhkater_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mhkater-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Radio also had a role in jazz. In 1926, the radio began to regularly play jazz music, and as time progressed, by 1930, artists such as <a href="/wiki/Louis_Armstrong" title="Louis Armstrong">Louis Armstrong</a>, <a href="/wiki/Duke_Ellington" title="Duke Ellington">Duke Ellington</a>, <a href="/wiki/Paul_Godwin" title="Paul Godwin">Paul Godwin</a>'s band, <a href="/wiki/Red_Nichols" title="Red Nichols">Red Nichols</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Peter_Kreuder" title="Peter Kreuder">Peter Kreuder</a> became popular with German audiences. The listeners were particularly partial to American black musicians such as Armstrong and Ellington, instead of their own German jazz musicians.<sup id="cite_ref-mhkater_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mhkater-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In the 1920s, jazz in Germany was primarily a fad. The "Salonorchester" turned to the new style, because dancers wanted it so. By 1924, the first jazz could be heard on the radio; after 1926, when <a href="/wiki/Paul_Whiteman" title="Paul Whiteman">Paul Whiteman</a> enjoyed sensational success in Berlin, regular radio programmes were broadcast with jazz played live. His music was also available on record and in sheet music. The <a href="/wiki/Weintraub_Syncopators" class="mw-redirect" title="Weintraub Syncopators">Weintraub Syncopators</a> were the first hot jazz band in Germany at their summit beginning around 1928. Musicians from many musical backgrounds, composers of classical music concerts such as <a href="/wiki/Paul_Hindemith" title="Paul Hindemith">Paul Hindemith</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ernst_Krenek" title="Ernst Krenek">Ernst Krenek</a> and <a href="/wiki/Kurt_Weill" title="Kurt Weill">Kurt Weill</a>, turned to the new music genre that came from America and incorporated it into their musical language. For the classical composers, the orchestral casts, the timbre, syncope, and blues harmonies of jazz were a synonym for the modern era. This new music genre was recognised not only as a fashion and entertainment music, but as real art. However, as early as in 1927, the composer <a href="/wiki/Karol_Rathaus" title="Karol Rathaus">Karol Rathaus</a> called it somewhat prematurely a <i>Jazzdämmerung</i> (jazz twilight). <a href="/wiki/Theodor_W._Adorno" title="Theodor W. Adorno">Theodor W. Adorno</a> criticized the popular jazz of this period as predominantly functional music (<i><a href="/wiki/Gebrauchsmusik" title="Gebrauchsmusik">Gebrauchsmusik</a></i>) for the upper classes, having little if any connection to the African-American tradition.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Jazz was found as an uncommon link between the blacks and <a href="/wiki/Jew" class="mw-redirect" title="Jew">Jews</a>. Jews at that time were recognized in jazz, not just as musicians and composers, but also as commercial managers, serving as the middlemen of the music. After the Great War in Germany, <a href="/wiki/Negrophobia" class="mw-redirect" title="Negrophobia">Negrophobia</a> coalesced with the preexisting <a href="/wiki/Anti-Semitism" class="mw-redirect" title="Anti-Semitism">anti-Semitism</a> and flourished, especially since Jews were often depicted as having a racial affinity with blacks, possessing similar objectionable qualities. Jews were prevalent figures in new art forms such as jazz, <a href="/wiki/Cabaret" title="Cabaret">cabaret</a>, and film. Often, a great number of jazz band leaders were Jews, many from Eastern Europe, including Bela, Weber, Efim Schachmeister, Paul Godwin, and <a href="/wiki/Ben_Berlin" title="Ben Berlin">Ben Berlin</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-mhkater_6-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mhkater-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Years_of_National_Socialism,_the_1930s_and_the_missing_1940s"><span id="Years_of_National_Socialism.2C_the_1930s_and_the_missing_1940s"></span>Years of National Socialism, the 1930s and the missing 1940s</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=German_jazz&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Years of National Socialism, the 1930s and the missing 1940s"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Jazz was much more than just a creative pastime; in fact, people saw jazz as the "essence of the era's modernism", a strong surge toward greater equality and emancipation, posing as a perfect advocate for a democracy in Germany. With its debonair, carefree interdependence on chorus-line culture of the cabarets of Berlin, some dubbed jazz as the "incarnation of American vitalism". Yet, despite the liberal attitudes of the Weimar democracy, the public and private sentiment toward blacks, including African Americans, was ambivalent; there was a lack of black jazz musicians in Germany. Regardless of their social situation, the deeply engrained and institutionalized racism of German society was not tolerant of black people. For instance, many nationalistic student fraternities rejected student members who were of color or married to women of color. Furthermore, in 1932, all the conservative musicians and critics were denigrating jazz as a product of "Negro" culture, which provided the government the fodder to forbid the hiring of black musicians. Thus, for many African-American artists, popularity was a mere facade of a grim reality of being seen as a "racial alien". One critic even went as far as to call jazz a mere "<a href="/wiki/Negermusik" title="Negermusik">negro noise</a>", having only one purpose: "to introduce obscenities into society."<sup id="cite_ref-mhkater_6-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mhkater-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Paul Schewers, a music critic, brought forth crude images of lewdly dancing black boys and girls in the service of procreation, implying that the lower forces were always surging through blacks, overtaking the rational light of morality and reason the way the white man grasped it. Undoubtedly, sensuality has an affinity with dance, and it was pervasive in jazz and in the lyrics, but this became a means of judging it as void of morality, and even aesthetics, reduced to being inferior to "high German culture".<sup id="cite_ref-mhkater_6-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mhkater-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In neighbouring European countries the trend continued in the 1930s. Fan magazines were created for jazz and so-called "hot clubs". The <a href="/wiki/Nazism" title="Nazism">Nazi</a> regime pursued and banned the broadcasting of jazz on German radio, partly because of its African roots and because many of the active jazz musicians were of Jewish origin; and partly due to the music's certain themes of individuality and freedom. For the Nazis, jazz was an especially threatening form of expression. An anti-jazz radio broadcast <i>From the Cake Walk to Hot</i> sought a deterrent effect with "particularly insisting musical examples".<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources. (September 2019)">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup> </p><p>Perhaps the source of the critique against jazz was the modernity it implied; in fact, many of the jazz critics were those who were against any form of modernity. Those World War I veterans with Fascist pretensions and of the anti-Semitic <a href="/wiki/Freikorps" title="Freikorps">Freikorps</a> banded with other members in the National Socialist movement in denouncing Jews and blacks. This burgeoning hatred of jazz and its subculture infected the entire Nazi party structure that <a href="/wiki/Adolf_Hitler" title="Adolf Hitler">Adolf Hitler</a> and his followers were trying so desperately to erect.<sup id="cite_ref-mhkater_6-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mhkater-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Hitler was not fond of modernism in the arts, which included music; in the Nazi party's program of February 1920, he threatened to enforce future governmental laws against such inclinations in art and literature. Even though he never publicly spoke out against jazz specifically in the <a href="/wiki/Weimar_Republic" title="Weimar Republic">Weimar Republic</a>, one can infer that Hitler's sentiments toward jazz must have had strong ties to his perception of racial hierarchy, with jazz, not surprisingly, being at the very bottom.<sup id="cite_ref-mhkater_6-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mhkater-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the 1930s, jazz began to see its downturn and started to suffer. Jazz's potential for being linked with the down-trodden minorities and pariahs of German society - the blacks and Jews - rendered it suspect. The future policies emerging against jazz were encouraged by German musicologists and radio spokesmen. In 1935, attempting to widen the perceived gap between "Nigger-Jew Jazz" and "German Jazz", Hans Otto Fricke used his prominent status as the director of "Radio Frankfurt", giving a two-part lecture series on the subject.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> To a great extent, Jazz shared a similar fate with other postwar modernist art such as <a href="/wiki/Atonal_music" class="mw-redirect" title="Atonal music">atonal music</a>. It wasn't until 1931 that many crucial British and American jazz players began to leave the country as they faced increasing xenophobic harassment from colleagues and authorities. Many thought that the death of jazz was upon them, but little did they anticipate that it would be reborn into vitality and health under a dictatorship.<sup id="cite_ref-mhkater_6-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mhkater-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Up until 1935, <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Goebbels" title="Joseph Goebbels">Joseph Goebbels</a>, the Reich Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, had hoped to convince and persuade the public via anti-jazz propaganda, rather than prohibit jazz. However, jazz was banned in 1935 (WFMU Staff). In 1935, the Nazi government did not allow German musicians of Jewish origin to perform any longer. The <i>Weintraub Syncopators</i> – most of whom were Jewish – were forced into exile. They worked abroad during much of the 1930s, touring throughout Europe, Asia, and the Middle East before settling in Australia in 1937. Even people with a single Jewish grandparent like swing trumpeter Hans Berry were forced to play <a href="/wiki/Undercover" class="mw-redirect" title="Undercover">undercover</a> or to work abroad (in Belgium, the Netherlands or in Switzerland). </p><p>Other dance bands and musicians were not even that fortunate. For example, <a href="/wiki/Mitja_Nikisch" title="Mitja Nikisch">Mitja Nikisch</a>, son of the celebrated classical conductor <a href="/wiki/Arthur_Nikisch" title="Arthur Nikisch">Arthur Nikisch</a> and himself a respected classical pianist, had created a fine popular dance ensemble in the 1920s, the Mitja Nikisch Tanz Orchester, which played in prominent venues. The Nazi regime brought about its demise, leading Nikisch to commit suicide in 1936.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources. (September 2019)">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup> </p><p>From 1937 onward, American musicians in Europe couldn't cross German borders. Admittedly, in spite of such persecution it was still possible, at least in major cities, to buy jazz records until the beginning of the war; however, the further development of, and the contact with, the American Jazz World were largely interrupted. The "<a href="/wiki/Reichsmusikkammer" class="mw-redirect" title="Reichsmusikkammer">Reichsmusikkammer</a>" (Reichs Music Chamber) supported dance music that bore some traits of Swing, but listening to foreign stations, which regularly played jazz, was penalised from 1939 on. Even after certain songs and performers were banned in Germany, several radio stations played jazz music by printing a new, German-centric label. For example, the song "<a href="/wiki/Tiger_Rag" title="Tiger Rag">Tiger Rag</a>" became "Schwarzer Panther", or the "black panther". "Joseph! Joseph!" became "Sie will nicht Blumen und nicht Schokolade", which translates as "She wants neither flowers nor chocolate" (WFMU Staff). </p><p>Some musicians did not want to follow this command. Thus, for example, when jazz was finally prohibited by the Nazis at the beginning of the war, the clarinettist <a href="/wiki/Ernst_H%C3%B6llerhagen" title="Ernst Höllerhagen">Ernst Höllerhagen</a> left Germany for exile in Switzerland. </p><p>At that time, only a relatively small number of people in Germany knew how jazz music sounded in America – at that time, swing – and that it was jazz. With the pressing wartime effort from 1941 to 1943, the Nazis accidentally fostered the jazz craze by forcing bands from Nazi-occupied nations in Western Europe to perform, bringing hot swing. Eventually, the Nazi party realized that jazz could not be removed entirely from Germany (WFMU Staff). The Nazis even re-developed and newly produced some pieces, giving them new lyrics, in special studios. One example is the song "Black Bottom", which was presented as "Schwarzer Boden". For some Germans, the banned foreign stations with jazz programs were very popular.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

The band <i><a href="/wiki/Charlie_and_His_Orchestra" class="mw-redirect" title="Charlie and His Orchestra">Charlie and His Orchestra</a></i> is considered as a negative example, also called Mr. <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Goebbels" title="Joseph Goebbels">Goebbels</a> Jazz Band.

As <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a> ended, jazz was imported to Germany via its strong footholds in England and France, and home-grown post-war jazz was able to develop, particularly in the American-occupied zone.

Primarily, local musicians played in the clubs. In order to raise the level of cultural recognition, concert tours by the German Jazz Federation (a merger of the clubs) were increasingly organised. Until the end of the 1950s, the German jazz scene was strongly fixated on imitating American jazz, and on regaining the period of development it had previously missed. However, from 1954 on, West German jazz slowly departed from the pattern established by this musical role model. The quintet of pianist and composer <a href="/wiki/Jutta_Hipp" title="Jutta Hipp">Jutta Hipp</a> played a central role in doing so; this group included the saxophonist <a href="/wiki/Emil_Mangelsdorff" title="Emil Mangelsdorff">Emil Mangelsdorff</a> and Joki Freund, who also wrote instrumental compositions. Although Hipp's music was heavily influenced by American role models, she impressed the American jazz critics with her distinctive and independent performances. The peculiarity of her music was an asymmetrical melody in the improvisations, the beginning and end located in unusual places. English New Orleans and traditional jazzbands were fervently welcomed, particularly <a href="/wiki/Ken_Colyer" title="Ken Colyer">Ken Colyer</a>, Sonny Morris and <a href="/wiki/Chris_Barber" title="Chris Barber">Chris Barber</a>.

They preferred Cool Jazz, because with its emphasis on brass melodies, and its interaction, as well as the tone, it was softer and slower---less explosive. </p><p>Authorities in <a href="/wiki/East_Germany" title="East Germany">German Democratic Republic</a> (GDR) were highly skeptical of jazz due to its American roots. Karl Heinz Drechsel was dismissed from his job at the GDR broadcasting organization in 1952 because of his fondness for jazz and was prohibited from organizing jazz broadcasts again until 1958. The founder of the jazz group Leipzig, Reginald Rudorf, held well-attended lectures on jazz, which also explained the culture of the United States. But they were stopped with disruptive actions by the state security organization ("<a href="/wiki/Staatssicherheit" class="mw-redirect" title="Staatssicherheit">Staatssicherheit</a>").

Without him, neither the European Free Jazz, even as individual musicians like Mangelsdorff, Doldinger and others, would have gained the importance that they have for the German jazz today. Berendt was the first and only global player of the jazz critics and producers of the German jazz scene, who introduced jazz from Germany abroad. </p><p>The best-known jazz groups in West Germany were the quintets of Albert Mangelsdorff (with Heinz Sauer and Günter Kronberg), Michael Naura (with Wolfgang Schlüter), and the quartet of Klaus Doldinger (with <a href="/wiki/Ingfried_Hoffmann" title="Ingfried Hoffmann">Ingfried Hoffmann</a>.)

Musically there was a deliberate but careful delineation of the American model. With their growing popularity, Doldinger and Mangelsdorff could also perform abroad and publish records. Naura had to retire from active life as a musician because of illness, and later became an editor of the Jazz part of the NDR (Northern German Broadcast). For the GDR, the Manfred Ludwig sextet has to be mentioned, originally for a long time the only band, which turned to the style of modern jazz. </p><p>In 1965, the quintet of <a href="/wiki/Gunter_Hampel" title="Gunter Hampel">Gunter Hampel</a>, a moderate Free Jazz maintainer, with musicians such as <a href="/wiki/Manfred_Schoof" title="Manfred Schoof">Manfred Schoof</a>, <a href="/wiki/Alexander_von_Schlippenbach" title="Alexander von Schlippenbach">Alexander von Schlippenbach</a>, <a href="/wiki/Buschi_Niebergall" title="Buschi Niebergall">Buschi Niebergall</a> and Pierre Courbois, arrived on the German jazz scene and performed many concerts in the "province".

There is hardly a professional jazz musician, born between 1940 and 1960, who did not attend this course as a student or teacher. </p><p>After 1970, the government ministries of East Germany gave up their antagonism towards jazz music, giving the explanation that jazz had become an integral part of East German culture and politics. Klaus Lenz and the Modern Soul band found its own way to the Fusion of rock and jazz music.

In Cologne, there was a strong initiative for Jazz, founding the initiative "Kölner Jazz Haus" (Cologne Jazz House), from which projects such as the <a href="/w/index.php?title=K%C3%B6lner_Saxophon_Mafia&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Kölner Saxophon Mafia (page does not exist)">Kölner Saxophon Mafia</a> (Cologne Saxophone Mafia) emerged.

In the 1980s, there was a greater exchange between jazz musicians from West and East Germany. If the cooperation took place within the borders of the GDR, normally a non-German musician was also invited to give this event an international complexion. Economically jazz musicians in the GDR lived in comparatively secure or prosperous circumstances, because they worked in an environment of subsidized culture, and unlike their western colleagues did not need to follow the directives of the <a href="/wiki/Market_economy#Free-market_economy" title="Market economy">free market economy</a>. In addition to a comparatively wide Dixieland scene in the area and mainstream American-style jazz, free improvisational music developed in a way that <a href="/wiki/Fred_Van_Hove" title="Fred Van Hove">Fred Van Hove</a> (later relativated<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Template:Typo_help_inline" title="Template:Typo help inline"><span title="Expert help is needed to correct the spelling of this word or mark it as OK.

The latter survives through musical practice and is based on the origins of jazz. In the 1990s, even more than in the 1980s, the marketing of music styles dominated the music business, and jazz in particular. <a href="/wiki/Helge_Schneider" title="Helge Schneider">Helge Schneider</a>, a well-known entertainer, knew how to integrate jazz into his own comedic art. Another well-known German jazz musician and entertainer is <a href="/wiki/G%C3%B6tz_Alsmann" title="Götz Alsmann">Götz Alsmann</a>, as well as the successful trumpeter <a href="/wiki/Till_Br%C3%B6nner" title="Till Brönner">Till Brönner</a>. A number of other jazz musicians became established through entertainment-jazz in the scene as well. However, these are not the only musicians who work as jazz musicians sometimes under difficult conditions in Germany, and who are responsible for creating such diverse styles of jazz. </p><p>In addition, between East and West Germany, an alignment of styles occurred, much to the detriment of East German jazz culture. Over time, elements of jazz were increasingly integrated with other styles such as <a href="/wiki/Hip-hop" class="mw-redirect" title="Hip-hop">hip-hop</a>, later <a href="/wiki/Drum_%27n%27_bass" class="mw-redirect" title="Drum 'n' bass">drum 'n' bass</a> and others, most prominently by the internationally successful duo Tab Two. These new styles of fusion were assessed as <a href="/wiki/Acid_Jazz" class="mw-redirect" title="Acid Jazz">Acid Jazz</a> or as <a href="/wiki/Nu_jazz" title="Nu jazz">Nu jazz</a>. Today jazz elements can be found in a great variety of musical styles, such as German Hip-Hop, House, Drum 'n' Bass, dance music, and many others. </p><p>Jazz is in low demand on German television. Jazz clubs and other venues still must face the fact that the number of visitors is often difficult to predict and highly variable. Often, younger audiences stay away. Even for tax reasons (so-called "Ausländersteuer" i.e., foreigner tax), the major international musicians, in particular the modern creative musicians, who play in Switzerland, Austria, the Netherlands, Italy and France, increasingly skip Germany on their routes and tours. </p><p>Although there are many more jazz musicians in Germany now than in the 1960s and 1970s, it is much easier for the public to form their own individual opinion of the jazz musicians and their music because of <a href="/wiki/Electronic_media" title="Electronic media">electronic media</a>. Traditional <a href="/wiki/Opinion_leadership" title="Opinion leadership">opinion makers</a> like public broadcasters' jazz editors are losing influence. </p><p>Since the 1990s, Germany's most renowned jazz festival (<a href="/wiki/JazzFest_Berlin" title="JazzFest Berlin">JazzFest Berlin</a>) has been regularly criticised, and its artistic directors have fallen back on highly elaborate concepts without a clear artistic line being visible.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Notable_jazz_events_(selection)"><span id="Notable_jazz_events_.28selection.29"></span>Notable jazz events (selection)</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=German_jazz&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Notable jazz events (selection)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/JazzFest_Berlin" title="JazzFest Berlin">JazzFest Berlin</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Deutsches_Jazzfestival" title="Deutsches Jazzfestival">Deutsches Jazzfestival</a>, <a href="/wiki/Frankfurt" title="Frankfurt">Frankfurt</a></li> <li><a href="/w/index.php?title=Total_Music_Meeting&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Total Music Meeting (page does not exist)">Total Music Meeting</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Internationales_Dixieland_Festival_Dresden" title="Internationales Dixieland Festival Dresden">Internationales Dixieland Festival Dresden</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Leipziger_Jazztage" title="Leipziger Jazztage">Leipziger Jazztage</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Leverkusener_Jazztage" title="Leverkusener Jazztage">Leverkusener Jazztage</a></li> <li>Jazzopen, <a href="/wiki/Stuttgart" title="Stuttgart">Stuttgart</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Jazzahead" title="Jazzahead">jazzahead!
