Overview
21st Edition 2025 — Bozen Brass and a Jazz Crime
The 2025 Jazz Days once again relied on the proven mix of theatre, open-air, and KunstWandelhalle concerts. The festival opened on Friday, August 15, with a theatre concert by Bozen Brass from South Tyrol — a virtuoso brass ensemble that was celebrated with a standing ovation in Bad Elster.
The closing on Sunday, August 17, featured "Good Bait — The Bait Is Me," a jazz crime reading based on the novel by Bill Moody. Actor Martin Bertram read the text, accompanied by a live jazz band. A preview with Ted & Zed Mitchell on August 12, a piano matinee in the KunstWandelhalle, and a big band jazz promenade on Sunday on the Badeplatz rounded off the program.
