Jazzclassix Allstars – from Swing to Bop

At Karlsruhe’s Jazzclub, the Jazzclassix series has for years been established as a highly regarded, successful event at which largely local and regional musicians devote an evening to a particular chapter of jazz history and take a fresh look at styles and musical personalities.

At the Jazzfestival 2017 we are presenting a little »best of« of the previous editions of Jazzclassix. In the first part, a formation of the trumpeter and singer Sean Guptill will be taking us through the heyday of jazz, from the first heroes to the early greats of modern jazz, from swing to bop and pieces by W.C. Handy and Louis Armstrong to Count Basie, Duke Ellington, and Frank Sinatra up to Dizzy Gillespie and Clark Terry.
