Die Jazzwerkstatt Graz
Die Jazzwerkstatt Graz ist ein einwöchiges Produktionsfestival nach dem Vorbild der Jazzwerkstatt Wien.
Erstes Anliegen der 2007 gegründeten Plattform ist die Forcierung einer jungen, musikalisch eigenständigen Szene in Graz sowie die fokussierte Präsentation derselben in Form eines Festivals. Des Weiteren steht die Werkstatt aber auch für nationale und internationale Vernetzung der jungen Jazzszene – zum Beispiel in Form der Kooperation mit der Jazzwerkstatt Bern, die seit 2008 existiert.
Organisiert wird die Jazzwerkstatt Graz vom Verein Fat Tuesday, der selbst aus jungen Musikern aus dem Jazzbereich besteht.
