This grass is a very good lawn grass, showed mowed and unmowed, and I would like to buy seeds for it. Of course, I can't do that unless I know what it is. It does not spread, it doesn't turn brown during winter or during droughts, and it is exceptionally shade tolerant. What kind of grass is it?

That is tall fescue, a common lawn grass in cool region areas. I found the answer by planting different grass seed types until I found one that matched.
That looks like fescue to me. Fescue does not spread (with the exception of some rhizomous varieties) and is very shade tolerant. It's down side is that it will need a lot of water in hot/dry climates if it is not in the shade.
It's also possible that you have Buffalograss ( http://www.outsidepride.com/seed/grass-seed/buffalo-grass-seed.html ). Beware: it grows fast.
I planted tall fescue in all the shaded and highly damp spots in my lawn (mostly areas shaded by the patio). While it is a completely different grass to my Blue Couch lawn (crab grass), it blends in perfectly when they're mowed at the same height.
