Future Dialogues: High-Voltage Jazz & Stars of Tomorrow
When irrepressible curiosity meets technical brilliance, music is born that defies any conventional genre. As a gripping opening event, "Future Dialogues" kicks off the Trans4JAZZ Festival at the Zehntscheuer – a double bill packed with energy, discoveries, and radically fresh sounds.
Now in its fourth year, this successful format by Jazztime Ravensburg continues to sharpen its profile as a catalyst for the scene. "Future Dialogues" is more than just a concert evening – it is a creative powerhouse. The journey begins in the morning with an exclusive workshop where none other than saxophone phenomenon Jakob Manz shares his passion directly with students from regional schools. Inspiration at eye level instead of dry theory.
From the classroom to the club stage: In the evening, this energy erupts live at the Zehntscheuer. With his "Jakob Manz Project," the ECHO Jazz award winner brings to Ravensburg the very sound that has made him a shooting star of the European jazz scene. Moving between high-speed funk, deep soul, and modern fusion, Manz proves that jazz in 2026 is one thing above all: a vital, raw language of the present.
International Premiere: The Trans4JAZZ AWARD 2026: Manz will be joined by another highlight of the new generation: the premiere of one of the winning bands of the internationally announced Trans4JAZZ AWARD. A jury of experts has selected the most exciting newcomers from numerous applications across Europe. Those performing tonight belong to the future elite – young musicians who don’t just cite timeless grooves but translate them radically fresh into the language of today with the untamed relevance of their generation. This is the sound of the future of jazz.
