A-TRANE

In December 2006 the BIX Jazz Club, named after the jazz trumpeter Bix Beiderbecke, was opened in the extension of the Gustav-Siegle-Haus in the heart of Baden-Württembergs state capital Stuttgart. Every year, far more than 20,000 visitors take advantage of the offer to attend over 250 concerts by regional, national and international jazz greats. Jazz legends such as Wynton Marsalis, Joshua Redman, Curtis Stigers or Wolfgang Dauner have so far played at BIX as well as Ginger Baker, Joey DeFrancesco, Helen Schneider and Till Brönner. In addition to the concert room on the ground floor there is an elegant smoking area with its own bar and in summer the cozy terrace opposite the Leonhardskirche. The modern, unique acoustics and the well thought-out architecture also create a special atmosphere. The BIX has been awarded three times in a row with the APPLAUS venue program prize awarded by the federal government. It is also listed by Downbeat Magazine in the list of the 50 best jazz clubs worldwide.
