Hi friends. My phone was stolen. I have access to very few social media apps and communication apps. Reach me here or janholmquist at gmail.com
While it is time consuming and annoying it gives me a possibility to rethink my digital life. Miss you all though.

Two nights in a row with world class jazz live. Tonight in company with my son. Christian sands 🎹(My favourite pianist), Thomas Fonnesbæk on bass and Rasmus Kihlberg on drums. Magnificent ♥️

Winter jazz in Copenhagen is usually just as high level as Copenhagen jazz festival. Today: Christian McBride Trio live in concert playing tunes in honor of Ray Brown. Christian McBride (bass), Benny Green (piano), Gregory Hutchinson (drums). Tight, clever, funny and wonderful sound. #jazz

🎶 One of my favorite duet albums of all time is Mick Flannery and Susan O’Neill “In the game”. I heard them perform it live twice in Denmark a few years ago. This weekend I heard them twice again in the opera house in Cork, Ireland. Amazing. Highly recommended🎶

This is one of the most disgusting things I have seen in a very long time. A fascist wanna be dictator and an experienced dictator meet to discuss what should happen with a democratic country one of them invaded. Shame on both of them. Slava Ukraini. #slavaukraini

Yesterday’s concert with Norah Jones was nothing less than perfect. It was never boring though. Just an amazing artist at the top of her career 🎶 with a tight amazing band 🥁🎹♥️

Frewheelin’ 2015 … if you know you know

Out of respect for young people's wiser approach to social media, I've chosen not to share a picture of my daughter from her high school graduation today. But rest assured, I am an extremely proud dad and deeply admire her efforts. The picture shows the traditional Danish graduation hat.

Meeting at Roskilde University today. A fine place for a good meeting - coffee in the sun and in the surroundings of nature and knowledge. #rewilding #knowledge

The Boss for President.

Dr. Carla Hayden

Dr. Carla Hayden has been a huge inspiration to me for years. She upholds and fights for the right library values: Fact based learning, and opportunities for all. Facts matter, and her firing by the orange one is yet another sign that facts are under siege in what was once an inspirational democracy

I attempted to test the European search engine Swisscows, which, according to the European Alternatives website, should offer a free plan. However, it seems this is not the case. When you do a search a pop-up appears and no search result is shown.

Tonight’s concert: Christian Sands quartet. Absolutely my favorite pianist 🎹🎹🎹

Thanks for letting me know. There are similar services in Scandinavia. Good libraries everywhere are supporting their communities with the needs their communities have 🪴

I listened to Living Colour too! Great band 🎶

Tonight in #jazzlife Joe Levano and his amazing band. A very fine evening in jazz with this band. Guitarist Julian Lage made the guitar the star of the evening #jazzsky

Earlier this week in #jazzsky Jazz and poetry with Jakob Bro and his large ensemble featuring danish poet Peter Laugesen. Rare to hear alto 🎷soprano 🎷 and baritone 🎷 in the same band. It was a very fine evening.

Jeg hentede alle mine gamle tweets ind på denne platform - det har givet lidt forvirring. Vil i bagklogskabens ulideligt klare lys ikke anbefale det. Det er mange år siden jeg var til dennne koncert
