Jazzmedia & More once again at jazzahead!

Jazzmedia & More is pleased to announce that we will once again be represented at jazzahead! 2026 in Bremen. As one of the key meeting points for the international jazz community, jazzahead! combines trade fair, showcase festival and conference, bringing together artists, agents, labels, media and presenters from around the globe for several days of concerts, meetings and networking. It remains an ideal environment for us to present our roster and current projects, and to connect with partners old and new.

This year we’re in Bremen with a particularly active slate of campaigns. SADA’s forthcoming debut album is confirmed for a spring release, and we are currently booking the accompanying release tour. The band’s powerful mix of jazz, rock and Middle Eastern influences has already attracted attention, and the coming live dates will be an important next step in building their international presence. We will be using jazzahead! as a platform to talk with club and festival programmers about possible dates and routing for this tour period.

On the vocal side, we are handling European media outreach and selected bookings for Eddie Bruce’s big band album For Dreamers and Their Dreams. The campaign includes promotion around the album itself, as well as Eddie’s live projects, with a particular focus on his Tony Bennett centennial show that pays theatrical, musically rich homage to Bennett’s legacy. At jazzahead!, we are keen to speak with presenters and festivals about both the album-related programme and the Tony Bennett project, exploring opportunities for 2026 and beyond.

We are also working on the launch of Bede, the debut album from UK-based bassist and composer Michael Bede Dunlop. Rooted in Northumbrian folk melodies and the spacious, melodic language of contemporary European jazz, the record presents both trio and quartet material and is supported by a focused run of UK dates. In Bremen, we’ll be highlighting Michael’s project to international media and promoters, with an eye on future touring outside the UK once the album has had its initial run.

In addition, Jazzmedia & More is involved in this year’s jazzahead! Clubnight through a concert at “neusi’s”, where Swedish guitarist Tomas Janzon will present his NOMADIC trio. The performance, featuring Janzon alongside Jonas Bäckman and Jon Hendriksson, underlines our ongoing commitment to strong live projects that connect European and US jazz traditions. The Clubnight remains one of jazzahead!’s most vibrant elements, and we are very happy to be part of it again this year.

We look forward to being back in Bremen, meeting colleagues from across the world and sharing more about these and other projects on our roster. If you would like to arrange a meeting with us during jazzahead! 2026 – whether you are a presenter, festival programmer, label, media representative or artist – please feel free to contact us in advance to set up a time.
