Stuttgart+Munich: Jazz Podium #2 February 1965
Original February 1965 issue of the German jazz monthly Jazz Podium with American jazz saxophonist and clarinetist Harry Carney (1910—1974) on the front cover. Photo of Carney, who was on a nationwide tour of Germany with Duke Ellington, credited to Hans Harzheim. Also in this issue: New York jazz scene, Eric Dolphy, Charles Mingus, Stan Getz, gospel, Ornette Coleman, Bix Beiderbecke, and Eddie Condon. Founded by the president of the German Jazz Federation, Dieter Zimmerle in 1952, Jazz Podium is Germany’s premiere jazz monthly. The first issue was published in Vienna in September 1952, but Stuttgart soon became the magazine’s headquarters. It was Zimmerle’s hope that jazz in Germany would be carried by people whose love for music was strong enough not to be fooled by external resistance. Indeed Zimmerle himself never made any money with the magazine. Jazz Podium is still in print and still thrives on this kind of idealism, with its nearly one hundred freelancers working on a voluntary basis.
