On Saturday evening, live music can be heard in all three rooms of the Feldschlößchen Stammhaus. Five bands will share the venue: The Dixie Hot Licks from the Czech Republic, the Oldtime Memory Jazzband from Jena, Micha Winkler's Hot Jazz Band from Dresden, Sunshine Brass from Suhl, and Rag Doll. Four of these groups have performed at the jazz club in previous years.

In the Old Brewery, the main restaurant, the Oldtime Memory Jazzband and The Dixie Hot Licks alternate performances. In the Hamburg Hall, Micha Winkler's Hot Jazz Band and Rag Doll will be playing. In the Dresden Hall, Sunshine Brass will alternate with Grammophon DJ Schleiermacher. Each band will perform two sets. Those staying from 7:30 p.m. until midnight can create their own evening: They can remain in one room and hear both bands back-to-back, or move between the halls.

The original building is steeped in brewing history. The inn opened in 1998 in the last remaining building of the lager brewery founded in 1838 at the old Feldschlößchen brewery. The jazz club offers a dedicated menu and freshly tapped Feldi beer. Jazz and pubs have been intertwined since their inception: In New Orleans and Chicago, early jazz music was at home in dance halls, bars, and pubs long before it moved into concert halls.

The jazz club has been a fixture of the festival program for years. On Saturday, it will bring together bands from the Czech Republic, Thuringia, and Dresden, including several familiar to the jazz club's audience from previous years. Because bands will be performing in each of the three rooms that evening, live music will be heard throughout the building.
