Big Band Evening with Intakt at the Jazz-Schmiede
When Intakt takes the stage at the Jazz-Schmiede, traditional Big Band sound meets the intimate live atmosphere of a club known for jazz and close audience interaction. The ensemble was founded in 1976 at the Clara Schumann Music School and has been based under the Volkshochschule Düsseldorf since 2012. The evening on October 14, 2026, promises a concert experience that combines swing, rich brass sections, and urban Düsseldorf jazz culture.

The Sound of a Grown Formation
INTAKT represents the classic big band lineup, precise interplay, dynamic orchestration, and the transition between powerful tutti passages and softly delineated solo moments. The band's history in Düsseldorf dates back a long way; documented highlights include performances at the NRW Festival, at the boot trade fair, at the Jazz-Schmiede, and at the Hofgarten concerts. This makes the date not just a concert but a piece of living city history.

A Repertoire Between Swing and Modernity
Musically, Intakt navigates the tension between Big Band classics and contemporary arrangements. Titles from the swing era are just as much a part of their repertoire as modern big band and jazz rock forms; this stylistic mix creates a lively atmosphere from the very first chord. In the Jazz-Schmiede, where seating is unreserved and only a limited number of seats are available, an evening develops a special closeness and excitement.
