The Jazzwerkstatt Graz is both a collective of young jazz musicians and a festival, based on the Fat Tuesday concert series that I founded together with bassist Valentin Czihak in 2005. For six years Fat Tuesday presented monthly concerts by members of the diverse younger generation of Austrian jazz musicians.
In 2007 we staged the first Jazzwerkstatt festival; it was modelled on the Jazzwerkstatt Wien, from whom we also assumed the name. The first edition took place at the Theater am Ortweinplatz (TaO!) and was a great success; since then the Jazzwerkstatt Graz has represented an annual, progressive meeting of fresh productions from Austria and beyond. In 2009 we moved the festival to the Orpheum Graz.
2012 will be the first year without Fat Tuesdays: we made the decision to replace the regular concert series with mini-festivals, to be called Jazzwerkstatt Short Cuts. Each Short Cut weekend will present a collaboration between musicians and other artistic disciplines to promote the broadening of stylistic horizons.
