Jazz is My Democracy x Jazzklub
Der Jazzklub ist ein dreimonatiges hybrides Ausstellungs-, Konzert- und Veranstaltungsprojekt zum Thema „Jazz“ im Museum Angewandte Kunst in Frankfurt am Main. Im Zentrum eines größeren Ausstellungsparcours entsteht ein Jazzklub, der in Kooperation mit Jazz Montez zum Ort für mehr als 60 Konzerte, Veranstaltungen und Workshops wird.
Im Rahmen des Jazzklub-Projektes, wird das bereits bestehende journalistische Format „Jazz Is My Democracy“ in mehrere Formate erweitert: Konzertabende, Tanzvermittlung und Dialogformate verknüpfen den Jazz mit demokratischen Werten, politischem Bewusstsein und gesellschaftlicher Verantwortung. Künstler:innen, Kulturwissenschaftler:innen und politische Aktivist:innen setzen mit den Formaten ein Zeichen gegen Rassismus und rechte Gewalt. Das mit „Jazz Is My Democracy“ verbundene Tanzvermittlungsprogramm beleuchtet die Verknüpfung von Jazz und Tanz aus einer gesellschaftspolitischen Perspektive. Es bietet interaktive Workshops, Performances und Diskussionsformate, die sich mit der afro-diasporischen Geschichte des Jazz, der Widerstandskultur und der Rolle von Jazz in gesellschaftspolitischen Diskursen auseinandersetzen.

BIOGRAPHY
Emerging from the dynamic streets of Conant Gardens in Detroit, Slum Village is not just a music group, but a close-knit brotherhood tied together by friendship and their shared musical passions. Established in the early 1990s by T3, Baatin, and the iconic J Dilla (also known as Jay Dee), the group quickly became a cornerstone in Detroit's hip-hop scene.
J Dilla’s, enduring influence continued to shape the group, with his protégé and Grammy-nominated producer Young RJ
stepping in as a rapper in 2009. With T3 and Young RJ’s stewardship, Slum Village has continued to innovate, producing revered albums such as "Trinity" with the standout track"Tainted," and "Detroit Deli," featuring the popular single “Selfish” with Kanye West and John Legend.
T3 and Young RJ have been instrumental in preserving and expanding the group's legacy, leading to later albums like "Villa Manifesto" and "YES," which includes posthumous productions by Dilla. Today, Slum Village remains a celebrated
name in the world of Detroit hip-hop. With over a decade of collaboration, T3 and Young RJ stay true to the group’s founding ethos while introducing new vitality and a contagious zest.
Their recent works, including singles "Request," “Factor,” “So “Superb” and the acclaimed album “F.U.N.” featuring artists like
Cordae , Larry June, Elijah Fox, and Eric Roberson, highlight their continued commitment to breaking new ground and thrilling audiences globally. Explore their musical journey and experience the sounds that have established them as hip-hop royalty.
