Description


Stuttgart+Munich: Jazz Podium #1  January 1962

Original January 1962 issue of the German jazz monthly Jazz Podium with American saxophonist and flautist Frank Wess (1922—1913) on the front cover. Photo of Wess, who was touring Germany with Count Basie at the time, credited to Storz-Wessolowski. Also in this issue: John Coltrane, Dizzy Gillespie, George Maycock, Albert Mangelsdorff, Ray Bryant, Toots Thielemans, and Monty Sunshine. 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.
