The Musiklandschaft between the sea and lakes also offers a home to sounds ranging from Dixie to progressive. Tender beginnings for jazz from the Baltic Sea coast were already made in the last years of the GDR. Since then, dedicated musicians have ensured that jazz is also taught and cultivated in the country's music schools. A number of excellent jazz bands with outstanding soloists have been formed here and have made a name for themselves beyond the borders of the federal state. Not only bands and big bands come together here regularly, but also entire jazz orchestras. This federal state is too big for competition between musicians and Veranstaltungen. That's why there are always new and interesting constellations here. Jazz in particular is open to experimentation.
&pushing the boundariesThe right venues are also available: Away from the jazz festivals, there are many atmospheric clubs where the right jam feeling quickly arises. International jazz stars have also recognized this and regularly tour the country - and love to come back. The proximity to Scandinavia is not entirely innocent in this pleasing development: the traditional jazz countries of Denmark, Norway and Sweden look to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern for their leap into Germany. Connections to the large and active Polish jazz scene are also being expanded. Let yourself be seduced: Wherever there is jazz in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern - an exquisite and exuberant evening awaits you!
