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.

Populart o melhor bar de Madrid aquele onde encontrei sempre mais um motivo para sorrir, onde encontrava sempre mais uma razão para estar feliz... onde eu estava e simplesmente não queria mudar de sitio... Encontrei ali o que procurava em todos os outros sitios... e simplesmente não encontrava. Encontrei uma razão... um bem estar e um sentido de partilha que até então desconhecia... Viva a música e aos efeitos que eu nós causa...

Lembro-me de bons momentos passados nesse bar... simplesmente a beber uma caña... Saudades de um tempo que talvez nao tenha vivido em pleno mas que vivi à minha maneira.... Saudades de Erasmus... e do que lá deixei e do que lá encontrei... um novo eu!...
