„If you want to be successful in jazz, you have to go to the Black Forest…“ This advice was given by Oscar Peterson in 1968 to jazz critic Gene Lees. He meant the legendary Villingen MPS forge that put the Black Forest on the world jazz map.

And today? Almost six decades later, we ask ourselves: What power do local jazz structures in Baden-Württemberg possess in the present? What about the places where music is not just consumed but born?

In this edition of “Talkin’ Jazz,” we illuminate the indispensable role of jazz clubs as spaces for encounters, innovation, and fostering young talent. Together with our guests, we look behind the scenes of the regional scene and ask about opportunities for professionals and students to develop artistically, build networks, and take the step from the "province" onto international stages. Come by and look forward to an exciting discussion with participants from education and practice: Among others, Simeon Disch, Kai Lothwesen, Neil Richter, and Valentin Schuster will be present.
