Are we seeing a re-politicization of Jazz or does the century need a whole new set of utopias? And what has become of the utopian impulse of progressive jazz and free improvisation? A keynote and an artists’ talk with Hanna Bächer, Guilherme Granado, Felix Klopotek, Joachim Kühn, and Mette Rasmussen will explore that questions.
