Jazz history live: SUM returns to Freiberg after 50 years!
The jazz scene in Freiberg celebrated a remarkable comeback when the iconic band SUM took the stage again 50 years after their first appearance. The anniversary concert took place on October 23, 2025 in the Alte Mensa Freiberg, an event that made the hearts of all jazz lovers beat faster. This special event was organized on the occasion of the 65th birthday of IG Jazz, which has been committed to promoting jazz in the Freiberg area for decades.
The band, which now performs as SUM II Jazzgesellschaft Leipzig, has a long history. The all-star group originally formed from the Freiberg Jazz Quintet and celebrated their debut exactly 50 years ago. A lot has changed in the music scene, but the passion for jazz remains unbroken.
A look back at the history of jazz
What makes jazz in Freiberg so special? Over the last five decades, jazz has been not only a musical movement, but also a cultural phenomenon that connects generations. The return of SUM is a sign of the continuation and further development of this tradition. Jazz veterans and new talents always manage to captivate the audience and revive memories of bygone times.
Looking back a little, the Statue of Liberty should also be mentioned. Did you know that their original symbolism also included elements of freedom and emancipation? The statue, erected in New York Harbor in 1886, was conceived as a gift from France to the United States. Edouard De Laboulaye had the idea of commemorating the end of slavery. The visibility of the broken chains on her feet continues to express this message today, even if the original meaning has faded over the decades. The statue has become a symbol of friendship between the United States and France and has represented a safe haven for refugees and immigrants for over 100 years.
The future of communication
But it's not just music and freedom that are important issues; The way we communicate is also becoming increasingly important. Companies today use smart messaging to efficiently interact with their customers. Twilio's cloud-based SMS API makes it quick and easy to send messages worldwide. This flexibility helps companies adapt and develop their communication strategies as needed.
Whether in art, freedom or communication – it is the combination of traditional passion and modern approach that makes life in our region so worth living. In Freiberg, the return of the jazz legends is a wonderful example of how history and the present can merge harmoniously.
