The Fort Greene Park Jazz Festival was an idea developed by Eric Frazier from a longstanding dream to have a Jazz Festival in his own neighborhood park. It is a park that has been frequented by many legendary writers and artists including James Baldwin, John Steinbeck, Spike Lee, Rosie Perez, Chris Rock, Wesley Snipes, Malik Yoba, Chester Higgins, Lester Bowie, Common, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Erykah Badu, and Jeffrey Wright to name a few. Poet Walt Whitman was influential in the creation of Fort Greene Park.
 
Fort Greene Park is located in the Fort Greene/Clinton Hill section of Brooklyn, New York; a neighborhood that has housed a multitude of great Jazz Musicians including Max Roach, Randy Weston, Wynton and Branford Marsalis, Betty Carter, Gary Bartz, Cecil Taylor,  Bill Lee, Slide Hampton, Toshi Reagon  and Carla Cook. It is the home of many of today's greats and tomorrows  future legends!

The park is surrounded by such landmark institutions as The Brooklyn Academy of Music, The Brooklyn Navy yard, The Brooklyn Historical society, and Barclay Center
