My first experience with the Jazz Schmiede here in Düsseldorf was worse than ever. I was very curious when I saw “von Carlos Gardel bis Piazzolla” in the program, awaiting a nice evening of quality Tango.
What was my surprise when suddenly a guy starts reading German poems accompanied by an Accordion and a Bassoon, really nothing to do with Tango at all!
People started going out, some were looking with disbelief…terrible! We drank a beer but couldn’t stay until the break, so you can imagine…
At least we got to know the place, which is very nice and worth giving another shot, but then for a real Jazz band!
