possibly playing area
It's not Spielweise (=way you play something).
Spielwiese ist not a grassy area, either. It's a word only used in the context of a space (real or imagined) where you can be creative and try out new things. Brainstorm, improvise - depending on your area of expertise here.
In the context of a jazz site, I'd go for something involving "improvisation", and while I can't really think of an ideal word, as a native speaker of German I can definitely say that Spielwiese is only used in the sense I described above - this is not a "real" geographical location we're talking about!

Spielwiese wird hier wahrscheinlich in einem übertragenen Sinne verwendet.
Gemeint ist wahrscheinlich eine Beschreibung entweder des musikalischen Stils in dem sich ein Musiker bewegt oder möglicherweise auch das örtliche gebiet in dem ein Musiker aktiv ist (nicht so wahrscheinlich).

Spielweise wäre auch eine Idee, ich denke jedoch, daß auch Spielwiese durchaus möglich ist.

It sounds like this is part of a festival or something. Since I volunteered at several music festivals in the U.S., I know that we usually had designated >>play areas<< with activities for children. I hope this helps.

: "Spielwiese" is used in many contexts. Would you call a very large bed playground or play area? Well, that's just one of the "Spielwiesen" No, grass, no toys, only play. :-)

Spielwiese
Just to set the record straight: the term refers to a style and not a place.
Many Google Hits refer to a style, see: „Mini-Jazz“, „Spielwiese“ und mehr...
Kreative stilistische Erkundungen für Interpretation, Liedbegleitung und Improvisation am Klavier Für Klavierpädagogen und ihre Schüler, für junge Pianisten aus Mitgliedsorchestern der JMD
und des Verbandes der Berliner Liebhaberorchester und für alle Neugierigen.
