“Genç Caz” (translated as Young Jazz) concert series of Istanbul Jazz Festival were initiated in 2003 to provide a platform for amateur and emerging musicians and ensembles in Turkey. Organised for the 20th time in 2022, Young Jazz series grow stronger with the support of Mehmet Uluğ Fund, initiated to honour the memory of Turkish music professional Mehmet Uluğ, whom we lost in 2013. In its 20th year, the platform name became “Young Jazz+” to embrace creative young musicians in a broader framework and is open to applications from all young musicians who live in Turkey and make music in the genres of jazz, funk, R&B, neo-soul, electronic music, hip-hop or inter-genre music.
