Playlist | 17. Pretzel Jazz, Germany (Munich) 🥨🎧 | Oktoberfest Warmth

🔴 LIVE 24/7 · The Jazz Mug →    • Morning Coffee Jazz ☕ 24/7 Live | Café Mus...   This week the big tents go up in Munich, and the whole city smells faintly of roasted almonds and fresh bread. Before the first glass is raised, there is always a pretzel. Warm, deep brown, a little shiny, with flakes of coarse salt that crunch before the soft inside gives way. It looks like a knot, but the bakers say it is a pair of arms folded in prayer. A small blessing you can hold in one hand. Tear off the thin, crisp arms first. Save the thick, chewy belly for last. Everybody in Bavaria has their own order, and everybody is sure theirs is right. The tent bands play brass all afternoon, but between songs, when the room goes soft and murmuring, that is where this playlist lives. Five hours of café jazz with a little brass warmth, for a table that is happy just to be together. 🥨 ───────────────── 🍽 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆'𝘀 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀 — 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘇𝗲𝗹 (Munich, Germany) The Bavarian pretzel — "Brezn" in Munich — is the bread of Oktoberfest, which opens in the city this week. Its looped shape has been the sign of German bakers' guilds since the Middle Ages, and the best-known legend says the knot represents a pair of arms folded across the chest in prayer. What gives a real pretzel its deep mahogany crust and unmistakable savory flavor is a quick dip in an alkaline bath (traditionally lye, or a baking-soda solution at home) before baking — the alkali speeds up the browning reaction so the outside turns dark and glossy while the inside stays soft and chewy. A sprinkle of coarse rock salt finishes it. The Munich style has a plump "belly" and thin, crisp arms, and it is eaten with sweet mustard, Obatzda cheese spread, or simply a cold beer. ───────────────── 🎧 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆'𝘀 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (loops through the day) 00:00 Pretzel Bossa 03:22 Pretzel Ballad 06:24 Pretzel Swing 08:26 Pretzel Waltz 11:32 Pretzel Duo 14:43 Pretzel Samba 17:20 Pretzel Lounge 20:50 Pretzel Vibes …and the playlist keeps flowing. ───────────────── ✨🏠 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗝𝗮𝘇𝘇 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆 One flavor a day, served with jazz.
