Fritz Thom and Live Performance Service can be credited with introducing the Jazz Festival Format in Austria. The Jazz Festival Wiesen in 1976 was the first in a series of milestones in the field of Jazz Festivals in Austria, where LPS played a key role in the development of the format.

Fouding → Jazz Fest Wien in 1991 definitely marked a key moment, when Vienna - often cited as the "capital of music" - joined the league of mayor cities hosting a jazz festival, which quickly would rank among the top jazz festivals in the world.
