Boxing Day in Luxembourg

Gentlemen,

This was our most ambitious adventure yet. Never before have we endeavored to host an international jazz ballet event. Nevertheless, with a panache and savoir faire that has come to define our work, venne vide vette. 


From a news story, commenting on our event:

During the weeks before Christmas, markets flourish all over the country. From wooden huts that are set up on town and city squares, all sorts of christmassy goods are on sale: locally produced arts and crafts (candles, Christmas trees and decorations, cribs, music, etc), and of course plenty of food and drink to warm you from the inside. The latter include the obligatory mulled wines, as well as the stronger stuff (eg Schnaps, known as "Drëpp"). Foods on sale include various soups (with or without Mettwurscht [a local sausage speciality]), pancakes, Thüringer, ... , plus the unpronounceable: "Gromperekichelcher". The bandstand in the centre of the square is also very much in use: A whole host of local bands, fanfares, choirs, etc, are performing, bringing to life the true Christmas atmosphere.

We left behind many signs of our visit, but most critics agree that the most valuable deposit of this year's Boxing Day endures in the audio recordings. Indeed, they capture only one of the eight dimensions in which we paint. Still, Guiseppi and Yosh Ra lost years of their lives producing these tracks, and the result is golden like Christmas mead. 

Cheers!
