Swing with a large ensemble: One By One Big Band at Jazz-Schmiede
On Saturday, September 26, 2026, the Dormagen Big Band One By One brings the classic big band sound of the Swing era to Düsseldorf. In the Jazz-Schmiede, a compact, tradition-conscious concert evening meets the unique intimacy of the club – a concert experience for all who love rich brass sections, precise ensemble playing, and the energy of a genuine live atmosphere.
The sound of the Swing era, live and close
Under the direction of Reinhard Glöder and Bernd Balkenborg, the ensemble focuses on compositions and arrangements by Sammy Nestico for Count Basie. This is where the evening draws its authority: classic swing, clear orchestration, smooth synchronization, and that bouncy drive that has made great big bands unmistakable for decades. Those who want to not only hear big band jazz but feel it physically will find the right space here.
The Jazz-Schmiede as a stage for fine dynamics
Jazz-Schmiede Düsseldorf is known as an intimate venue with strong acoustics and close audience connection. The club is located at Himmelgeister Straße 107g, with access via Ulenbergstraße. Nearby stops like Am Steinberg, Moorenstraße, and Uni-Kliniken are available for travel; there are also parking spaces next to the Schmiede and, if needed, the parking garage of the University Clinics. The venue is wheelchair accessible except for the stage, and there is also a barrier-free restroom on the ground floor.
An evening for swing fans and live purists
Especially in a smaller setting, a big band unfolds its full effect: brief pauses before the entry, shining brass fanfares, a rhythmic carpet with clear contours, and an audience that can almost grasp the tension between calm and departure. One By One Big Band promises not a nostalgic museum piece but a vibrant swing culture in the here and now.
Conclusion: Those who want to experience big band jazz with soul, precision, and immediate proximity should mark this date. One By One Big Band brings the sound of the Swing era with fresh presence to the Jazz-Schmiede Düsseldorf – an evening that resonates with drive, finesse, and genuine live magic.
