Jazz Pub on "Birthday's night"
Jazz enthusiast Sten Holmquist discovered Stampen as a pawnshop romantically located in the old town of Stockholm. It came complete with a 17th century cellar, and until 1880 had been the premises of the French Reform Church. The name "Stampen" is derived from the stamps clients would receive per regular maintenance payments, for items they had deposited at the pawn shop as collateral. Converted into a jazz pub in 1968 years ago, many antique items - stuffed animals and instruments - still hang from the ceiling of Stampen, betraying its roots. It has become a meeting place for people of all ages, offering anything from the "American Folk Music of 1910-1959"— traditional jazz as it is known to some—to modern Blues, or Soul R&B acts. As a reminder to musicians, a sign on the Pub stage playfully reads, "Happy Jazz Please." No doubt, this "good time music" policy and the devoted ownership and attention of Josef Haddad have brought smiles to the faces of many a faithful visitor.
I was one of the visitors that this jazz pub brought a lot of smiles. I discovered this place last night, "birthday's night", and was amazing to be there.

I remind good moments that i spent last year in Madrid in a jazz pub, with one of my friends, Sara.
