On this podcast episode, I’m talking to Chris Pitsiokos, musician living in Berlin and member of the 7 person collective running Richten25, a venue in Wedding. Amongst other things, we talk about the role of DIY venues in the scene and challenges faced by such places, the role community plays in the jazz and improvised music scene, the value of live music, as well as which responsibilities both musicians and venues have going forward in order to create a sustainable basis for the live presentation of this music.
