New York Jazz Workshop is a community-based jazz music school in New York.

History
New York Jazz Workshop was founded in 2008 by Marc Mommaas, a tenor saxophonist and educator, and Marco Chelo, a jazz aficionado and entrepreneur.

According to the school's website, the founders were concerned that apart from major universities and conservatories, very few opportunities were present for students to learn music from instructors with actual expertise, play music in a group setting, or to be part of a jazz community. The New York Jazz Workshop was founded to fill that gap.

The school offers a space for musicians of various backgrounds and abilities to learn and play jazz and related forms of modern music.
