Dada Jazz was a second Dada journal produced by Dragan Aleksić in Zagreb, in September 1922.

Its lively cover promotes the journal as 'Dadaistic review' in English, French, Italian and Croatian. Dada Jazz features only a few texts by Aleksić and Tristan Tzara; these include Aleksić’s Dada manifesto (printed in Zenit the year before) and his essay on Archipenko, as well as a few previously published texts by Tzara, printed in the original French. Dada Jazz is best understood as a footnote to Aleksić’s Dada performances the previous summer. (Source).

In October 1922, Aleksić abruptly declared an end to Dada until 1999. He continued to advance his unflagging campaign to bring Dada to Zagreb, however. He went by the name 'Dada' and maintained an archive of Dada activity (now lost) until his death in 1958. [1]
