Apparently, it's a national holiday here in Switzerland today. 'Ascension'. Switzerland has to be the only country that commemorates an avant-garde #jazz album by John #Coltrane. Even kids seem to get involved: They're outside right now, making loads of noise, shrieking & yelling over each other etc
@Richard_Littler France here. Long tradition of jazz, of course, and not just in Paris.
@Richard_Littler Happening here in the Netherlands as well!
@Richard_Littler Germany loves Coltrane too. The government tries to take away our national holidays 🔥 but they dare not mess with the jazz community.

@Richard_Littler

More avantgarde and noisy is this album by post-metal band Jesu (with related name also...)

@Richard_Littler It’s also a holiday in Sweden. I imagine Denmark and/or Germany may have a long weekend, at least gauging from trains from Hamburg to Copenhagen being booked out
@Richard_Littler This "Jazz band falling down, and up, an Escher staircase" really tickles my ADHD brain.
