JazzPlaysEurope is a network created in 2007 by jazz organizations and festivals from seven neighbouring countries. JazzPlaysEurope supports contemporary jazz in Europe by organizing exchange concerts, concert tours and artists residencies with promising bands and musicians.

jazzplayseurope is a longterm cooperation between local and regional networks, music initiatives, musicians’ collectives, festivals and venues all over Europe; coming together to create lasting links and networks to support and establish contemporary jazz in Europe. The aim of this far-reaching network is not to put big names on big stages; instead it will aspire to establish a forum, laboratory and festival for Europe’s young jazz scene, providing the benchmark of a transnational subsidising scheme.
