Ton jazz club
The jazz club Neue Tonne Dresden (official name; in normal parlance and historically often called jazz club Tonne or "Tonne" for short ) is one of the most famous jazz clubs in eastern Germany.
It goes back to the jazz interest group (IG) founded by the Dresden city organization on March 18, 1977 in the Kulturbund der DDR , which at that time organized jazz concerts in student clubs, lecture halls and cinemas in the city for some time. After the IG members had expanded the barrel vaults under the ruins of the Kurländer Palais and moved into them on March 13, 1981, the term barrel became more and more common for the IG Jazz. The ton developed into one of the most famous jazz clubs in the GDR. Through numerous concerts, among others in cooperation with the International Dixieland Festival Dresden , the bin was already well known in the 1980s. In 1985 it organized 79 concerts, which attracted a total of 14,000 visitors.
In June 1990 the jazz club Tonne e. V. , which was housed in the barrel vault of the Kurländer Palais until spring 1997. As a result of the planned reconstruction of the palace, the association moved to Dresden's Waldschlösschen area , where it finally had to file for bankruptcy in the summer of 2000.
On November 21, 2000, friends of jazz founded the jazz club Neue Tonne Dresden e. V. , who finally moved into the cellar vault of the Kulturrathaus on Königstrasse in the Inner New Town in April 2002 . After the city of Dresden terminated the lease in 2015 when a water ingress damaged the grand piano, the lighting and sound system of the venue and the operators then demanded compensation from the city, the club moved into its old domicile in the Kurländer Palais, which has since been reconstructed.
