Nils Wogram and Geri Allen are being featured in musician\u2019s portraits. The tradition of rather free improvised music is being represented by duos like Schweizer-Favre, Crispell-Lytton or Takase-Bennink.<\/p>\n<p>A great opportunity to enjoy the city and its beauties, a long weekend of fun for the fans of a music style that is not exactly German perhaps, but which is so warm and involving that it can find a home even in the \u201ccold\u201d Berlin, to become one of the leading jazz events in Europe!
