Dialogue over conflict. A statement on the war in Ukraine has been released by the Europe Jazz Network, who stand in solidarity with all those affected.
EJN statement on the war in #Ukraine 🇺🇦
The Europe Jazz Network (EJN) strongly condemns the brutal attack on Ukraine and stands in solidarity with its people.
According to the values outlined in the EJN Manifesto of 2004, we believe that peaceful dialogue rather than conflict must be the only means to solve disputes.
As a Europe-wide network of 175 music organisations from 34 countries, we invite all our members and communities to support Ukrainian artists and music professionals who will greatly suffer from the devastating effects of this war. We will follow up shortly with some specific ideas on how to support Ukrainian artists and its cultural operators.

SWR2 Jazz Session continues their series on Jazzfest Berlin 2021 with a look back at Ståle Storløkken’s “Ghost Caravan” from last year’s festival. The Norwegian artist has played the organ since the age of 12, having later specialised in jazz and improvised music.
If you enjoyed our recent teaser of Storløkken’s performance at the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, you’ll want to tune into the programme upcoming Tuesday, 25.1.22 at 20:05.
Ståle Storløkken’s concert was defined by his improvisation on the organ of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. Revisit this indisputably unique performance from Jazzfest Berlin 2021.
Storløkken’s “Ghost Caravan”, as well as the majority of this year’s festival programme, is available for streaming on ARTE Concert and Jazzfest Berlin on Demand.
SWR2 Jazz Session presents a series looking back at Jazzfest Berlin 2021: Scenes of Now.
Kicking it all off will be Mary Halvorson’s sextet Code Girl’s performance of Artlessly Falling from this year’s festival. Having established herself not only in the New York Experimental Scene, but also at Jazzfest Berlin as a returning artist, we are excited to listen back to what happened at silent green.
Join us on Tuesday, 18 January 2022 at 20:05 only on SWR2. It’s too good to miss.
Captivating performance by Madosini last November: As part of Jazzfest Berlin–Johannesburg, the veteran artist joined up with Lungiswa Plaatjies and Cara Stacey for an absorbing and intimate performance at Sognage, Johannesburg.

Thank you to everyone who braved the rain and made last night’s opening of this year’s Jazzfest a night to remember. Yesterday’s performances will be available for streaming on ARTE Concert and Jazzfest On Demand later today.
We’re looking forward to today’s programme, which features performances and music coming to you from Johannesburg, Cairo, and São Paulo. There are a few tickets left, be fast!
📺 ↔️ 📺 This year during Jazzfest Berlin at Silent Green you can not only experience live concerts on site, but also live streams from the Sognage (Johannesburg), audio-visual commissions from São Paulo and film projects from Cairo. A specially-created multiscreen environment in the Betonhalle will become the fulcrum of a hybrid, decentralised festival concept. Four screens that can be used independently, surrounding the auditorium on all sides, will function as a creative playing field.
A few tickets are left for tonight’s opening. See you there! berlinerfestspiele.de/jazzfest-tickets

Jazzfest Berlin, curated by Nadin Deventer from 2018 on, was founded in 1964 as Berliner Jazztage, making it one of Europe’s longest-standing and most renowned jazz festivals. While the first two decades of the festival’s existence focused on the style-defining and popular jazz greats from the United States, the spectrum has since then been extended to include global developments, with an emphasis on contemporary jazz from Europe. The festival endeavours to give a platform to emerging artists and to communicate the enduring vitality of jazz.

Das Jazzfest Berlin, ab 2018 kuratiert von Nadin Deventer, wurde 1964 als Berliner Jazztage gegründet und zählt damit zu Europas ältesten und renommiertesten Jazzfestivals. Während die ersten beiden Festival-Dekaden geprägt waren von den stilbildenden und populären Jazzgrößen aus den Vereinigten Staaten, hat sich das Spektrum inzwischen global geweitet, mit einem Schwerpunkt beim gegenwärtigen Jazz europäischer Provenienz. Das Festival folgt dem Anspruch, sowohl aufstrebenden Künstler*innen eine Plattform zu bieten als auch die anhaltende Vitalität der Kunstform Jazz zu transportieren.
