Stuttgart+Munich: Jazz Podium #6 June 1966
Original June 1966 issue of the German jazz monthly Jazz Podium with American jazz trumpeter Don Cherry (1936—1995) on the front cover. Photo of Cherry with pianist Karlhanns Berger credited to Hans Harzheim. Also in this issue: 10th German Jazz Festival, free jazz, Count Basie, Friedrich Gulda, and Christine. 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.
