10. Alsergrunder Jazz & Genusstag

Enjoy the great ambience at Sobieskiplatz with groovy jazz from the Michaela Rabitsch & Robert Pawlik Quartet.

The Vienna Jazz & Genusstage are the Viennese jazz festival of the districts and are celebrating their 14th anniversary this year - district jazz days right on the doorstep of the people of Vienna.

Due to the great success of the last few years, the Jazzday tour is going through many districts again this year, and at the Alsergrunder Jazz & Genusstag the Sobieskiplatz will be Vienna's most beautiful Open-air jazz club.

An idyllic place where you have the choice to either linger in the public space or to stop off in the adjacent garden of the Highlander restaurant.

Vienna's "first couple of jazz" and its band present a varied and multi-layered musical experience of the highest class from their own pen, immersed in their signature sound of jazz seasoned with a pinch of world and they fascinate a large audience with their music.

Inspired by the groove-oriented playing style of hard bop and with a good portion of blues, they serve urban jazz that both bears their unmistakable signature and reflects the flair of the great jazz metropolises of Chicago, New Orleans and New York.

They dive with songs that manage the balancing act between cool, relaxed and funky grooves into the jazz club atmosphere of the Big Apple.

World-class jazz made in Austria! Free entry!

From Austria they come and this trumpet/guitar led crew just might conquer the world with their sound. (Chris Spector, Midwest Record Recap, USA)
