Albert Mangelsdorff Prize

The Deutsche Jazzpreis, also known as the Albert Mangelsdorff-Preis, is, together with the Hans Koller Preis, the most important jazz award in the German-speaking region. Since 1994, it has been awarded every two years by the Union Deutscher Jazzmusiker.

Named after Albert Mangelsdorff, the European jazz scene's best-known trombonist, it is endowed with 15,000 Euro by the GEMA foundation.

The Deutsche Jazzpreis was awarded for the eleventh time at the JazzFest Berlin '09.
