Stefan Karl Schmid

Stefan Karl Schmid is "without question one of the most intereting saxophonists of the young German jazz scene" (jazzandrock.com). With "a sound language full of nuances" (Kölner Stadtanzeiger) and an always "alert intellect" (DLF), the half-Icelandic, half-German has already "found his own personal style" (Mannheimer Morgen). He implements this style with great detail and virtuosity in diverse projects and ensembles, both as a saxophonist/ clarinettist and as a composer.

Schmid spreads his artistic work over various formations, which he leads partly alone, partly together with his band colleagues. From the intimate duo with pianist Lars Duppler, to trio and quartet formations (MUSE & Schmid's Huhn), to large ensembles such as his octet Pyjama or the Subway Jazz Orchestra, he impresses both playfully and compositionally with a "masterful sound language full of nuances that can be savoured with all the senses" (H.P. Koll).
