Onkel Pös Carnegie Hall, better known as Onkel Pö, was a music venue in Hamburg in the 1970s and the early 1980s.
Onkel Pö was originally a jazz venue in Mittelweg in the quarter Pöseldorf (in Rotherbaum) in Hamburg, and was opened by Bernd Cordua and Peter Marxen, who had previously opened the Jazzhouse, another jazz venue, in Brandstwiete. The name was chosen as a reference to Carnegie Hall in New York. The original venue has been occupied by the music pub Zwick since Onkel Pö moved to Eppendorf.
Soon after opening, on 1 October 1970, Onkel Pö moved to Lehmweg 44 in Eppendorf, where Ballhouse Eppendorf had been. Bernd Cordua left, and it was run by Peter Marxen on his own.
From 1975, Onkel Pö was one of the venues of the Jazz Festival in Hamburg, which was called New Jazz Festival at the time. To make the festival a success, the musicians, including Albert Mangelsdorff, Wolfgang Dauner and Gerd Dudek played for reduced remuneration.
Among the jazz musicians who played at Onkel Pö were John Abercrombie, Chet Baker, Art Blakey, Carla Bley, Joanne Brackeen, Dollar Brand, Michael Brecker, Gary Burton, Don Cherry, Chick Corea, Gil Evans, Jan Garbarek, Dizzy Gillespie, Steve Goodman, Dexter Gordon, Charlie Haden, Louis Hayes, Joe Henderson, Bobby Hutcherson, Leo Kottke, Steve Kuhn, Dave Liebman, Michael Mantler, Pat Metheny, Alphonse Mouzon, Marvin "Hannibal" Peterson, Tom Shaka, Woody Shaw, Archie Shepp, Horace Silver, Ralph Towner, Bennie Wallace, Mike Westbrook, Yōsuke Yamashita, and Attila Zoller. Al Jarreau and Helen Schneider started their international careers there.
