Jazz Club New tonne published a brochure on the turn of jazz in Dresden It is definitely the better way: remembering and thinking instead of polemics and denounce. Even the title and subtitle set out a framework for a brochure that is now presented by the Jazz Club New ton and with the "Jazz in Dresden around the turn of political" deals.

The project was primarily funded by the Hannah Arendt Institute, all too new insights into the "totalism" should be in place were there. And so "Highlights" even for oblique light.
