Jazz Art Association

The Jazz Art Association is a non-governmental organization based in Podgorica, Montenegro, that is passionate about promoting and supporting jazz music. Founded in 2009, the association brings together a community of music educators, musicians, and scholars who are experienced in communication, education, and promotion within the field of jazz. One of the main goals of Jazz Art is to provide students with opportunities to learn and develop their skills and knowledge in jazz music.

Additionally, they strive to introduce this captivating art form to a wider audience. The association has organized a series of concerts called Karver Jazz Art, which began in May 2009 and featured talented young musicians from Montenegro and beyond. By the end of that year, they had successfully staged a total of 15 concerts.

Education is a crucial aspect of Jazz Art's work. In 2009, they hosted three workshops, followed by concerts, featuring renowned jazz educators and artists from Europe and the United States. Notable artists included Alma Micic and Rale Micic from the U.

S., Cecile Broche from Belgium, Etienne Boyer from France, and Denise Jannah and Wolfgang Martini from the Netherlands. Jazz Art collaborates with various partners, such as the French Cultural Center in Podgorica, the Netherlands Embassy in Belgrade, and other organizations in Montenegro. They have also been entrusted with coordinating the annual Jazz Appreciation Month (JAM) since 2010.

Overall, the Jazz Art Association's dedication to jazz music education, promotion, and cultural exchange makes them a vital force in the jazz community in Montenegro and beyond
