Since 2013, JAZZx (originally JazzTM) has set out to bring music of high artistic value close to all the communities of Timisoara, bringing together Romanian artists at the beginning of their journey, artists who innovate and experiment, discovering new horizons, but also living legends of the various genres that jazz brings together. Over more than 12 years, our journey has demonstrated the importance of the cultural act as a common good, as a value that binds us, inspires us, shows us possibilities, changing mentalities. JAZZx has succeeded in putting Timisoara on the map of major jazz festivals and events worldwide, not only from the perspective of the international artists brought, but also from the perspective of the paths opened for the communities of romanian artists that have grown with it. There are 133 Grammy Awards that attest to the mastery of JAZZx artists, but beyond the recognition, the excitement and hope of the gesture of listening to them together, as different and unique as we are, was and always remains priceless!
