The Antwerp Jazz Club (Dutch: Antwerpse Jazzclub, abbreviated AJC[7]) is an association in Antwerp, Belgium,[8] founded in 1938[1] by Hans Philippi,[3] which delivers weekly lectures about and presentations of jazz music,[8] at no cost,[3] open to the public at large. Its sessions are held in Dutch.[4] Other than these sessions, the club organizes concerts,[3] including helping to organize blues concerts;[3] and has aided in the screenings of jazz documentaries.[9]
Its Tuesday-sessions are held mostly[3] by a member, and if not by another amateur of jazz, and are often illustrated by DVD-recordings.[5] They are held every Tuesday night from 20PM until 22PM,[3] but not during the Christmas period, nor the month of July. On request, the association also organises events about jazz for interested associations.[5]
The jazz club is a member of:
"De Stedelijke Culturele Raad van Antwerpen" (an advisory body which features civil participation in culture-related policy of the city of Antwerp[10]);
Hot Club de France; and
Centre for Black Music Research, Chicago, United States.[1]
The now obsolete Dutch-language website Gratisinantwerpen.be, which was supported by the city of Antwerp and listed free events in Antwerp (the website also had a less complete English version at Antwerpforfree.be), used to advertise the weekly Tuesday-sessions of the AJC.[11]
AJC is a subscriber to a number of jazz magazines, from the United States and from several European countries, which can be consulted in its clubhouse.[1]
