The quintet line-up around Peter Ehwald and Stefan Schultze with its traditional form of tenor saxophone, trumpet plus piano trio is a declaration of love for jazz and at the same time creates a context that is an invitation to reposition oneself. The basic principle of the STAMP quintet is the idea of developing music that leaves as much room as possible for development within a limited framework. No over-information - the compositions formulate the most important conditions for creating improvisational moments for the ensemble - directly and emotionally. Two very different and exciting soloists (trumpeter Tomasz Dąbrowski from Malmö and saxophonist Peter Ehwald from Berlin) set contrapuntal accents. The piano trio with Stefan Schultze from Berne and the Berliners Andreas Lang (b) and Moritz Baumgärtner (dr) fills and interprets the spaces of this music in a surprising and grandiose way.
"Basically, it's not about pitches, rhythms or harmonies, but about what the jazz quintet sound means to us. We wanted to translate a kind of nostalgia, or the meaning of an earlier time into our sonic language and into the here and now," explains Schultze.

On 23 October, the Minister of State for Culture and the Media, Claudia Roth, presented the APPLAUS once again, and for the 10th time, in recognition of live music venues and their programmes for their cultural and socio-political commitment.
Live music venues are honoured for their cultural excellence and impact in the previous year. The award-winning venues were selected by a jury of experts and the award ceremony took place at the Pavillon Hannover.
With the Programme Award, the Minister of State for Culture honours concert programmes by independent music clubs and event series from all areas of popular music and jazz. Every year, the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media (BKM) provides prize money totalling around 2 million euros, making the APPLAUS one of the most highly endowed federal cultural prizes.
This is the 5th time that Jazz-Schmiede Düsseldorf has been honoured with the APPLAUS. Following its nomination for the German Jazz Award as Venue of the Year last year and the award of the NRW Venue Programme Prize at the beginning of the year, the APPLAUS once again underlines the status of the Jazz-Schmiede as an important and high-quality venue for contemporary jazz music in Germany.

Dear members,

as some of you may already know, others have only just heard the sad news: Wolfgang Engstfeld, who had been seriously ill for some time, passed away unexpectedly on 18 September.

His death is a great personal loss for me as a friend! But also as a musician - and this certainly applies to many other colleagues - we have lost one of the most important representatives of his instrument. As a teacher and inspirer, the saxophonist had a lasting influence on the next generation of musicians. "...One of the best that Europe has ever produced, a real personality with a sound that always got under your skin... thank you, Wölfi, without you I would never have become a musician," said Reiner Witzel, among others, in honour of his former teacher. An appreciative statement that is shared by colleagues such as Paul Heller, Mathias Nadolny and many others. As the response in the social media also shows.

I will miss his vital, intense playing, which is at the same time so lyrical, with an unmistakable tone!

We will be remembering our friend and colleague "Wölfi" in a private setting at the Schmiede in October.
