Freddie

We don't have an ATM around here, or a supermarket. But we do have Freddie, our handyman bartender, who can place a bet on an unknown horse or sell you a set of new tyres for your car at half price. As he hums jazz standards and serves alcohol at supersonic speeds, he straightens his ears and doesn't miss a single opportunity to pick up a few bucks. But don't touch his Nellie....

Otto

They all ask Otto the same thing: how are you half octopus half man? To avoid answering such questions, from an early age Otto took refuge in his piano. Since octopuses are beings with intelligence from head to tentacles, there is plenty of room for thoughts and music. So Otto is one of the main attractions at Mama Mae's shack, although you won't see many women around him. In fact, rumor has it that his tentacles move fast not only on the keyboard...Well, nobody's perfect.

Rodrigo

Well yes, sometimes Life chooses for you. When you are born a grizzly in a desolated place, what are you going to do if not scare people away for a living? It doesn't matter you are actually good at heart, when you got no education, no social skills, and a lot of hairs. Mama Mae Jazz Schack is the perfect place for you. Meet Rodrigo the bouncer, and if you will accept a bit of advice, pay all of your drinks...one more better than one less.

Hyeronimus

Who told you that beetles don't have a soul? Meet Hyeronimus, a sensitive musician with a rich inner life, who to the empty sound of words often prefers the melody of his double bass. He always steers clear of the shady deals going on at the Jazz Shack, but he too becomes enraged when his passions are discussed: horse racing, numismatics, and of course...jazz.

Mama Mae

In her life, Mama Mae of abundance has never seen any. Children none, money not even a shadow. In the long hours of loneliness, only the radio to fill with notes of melancholy jazz the miserable wooden shack that has always been her home, and at the same time the only thing she owns. Until one day she looked around the ragtag town where she lives and saw so many like her, without even a roof to shelter under. So why not open the doors of her shack, and embellish this squalid life a little with some dreams? You'll probably never pass that way, but if you do, don't miss the chance to chat with this epic lady of jazz...
