According to the club's official history page, in spring 1966 a small group of jazz enthusiasts met to bring Jazz Club Hannover into being, with the intention of offering the Hannover jazz scene a place of exchange. The club's website states that since 1966 its members have been connected by a shared idea: to give jazz a reliable forum after the coming and going of many small clubs and venues, which it found at Lindener Berge 38. The history page also recounts that Hannover was significant in early German jazz history: the first American jazz import, with Alex Hyde, was played in spring 1924 at the Varieté Tivoli, and the local record factory of the Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft under Emil Berliner helped spread jazz recordings internationally.
