New York Hosts Mostly Jazz Festival in Late May

Famous Austrian that he is, Joe Zawinul (pictured) will be the special guest at guitarist/composer Wolfgang Muthspiel’s Mostly Jazz Festival, a four-evening event featuring mostly Austrian-led jazz bands to be held in New York City from May 28-31.

Mostly Jazz will present Austrian artists known both for frequent collaborations with American musicians and a distinctive stylistic openness to such musical and nonmusical influences as European classical music, global folk music, literature and poetry. The festival will be held at a new midtown Manhattan building, the Austrian Cultural Forum (ACF).
