Jazzland, located in Vienna’s 9th district, holds a significant place in Austrian jazz history. Founded in 1971 by Franz “Fritz” Novotny, it initially functioned as a record store specializing in jazz before evolving into a renowned club and concert venue. Throughout the 1970s and 80s it became central to the burgeoning Austrian free jazz scene, hosting international figures alongside local artists. While undergoing changes in ownership and location over the years, Jazzland has consistently maintained its commitment to presenting a diverse program of jazz styles – from traditional to contemporary – and remains an important hub for both performers and audiences.
