Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on August 18, 1968)

Happy Birthday, Ernie! May your day be as smooth and vibrant as your trumpet solos—timeless classics that never miss a beat. From jazz clubs to concert halls, you've dazzled Luxembourg (and beyond!) with melodies so brilliant they could charm even the grumpiest conductor into tapping their feet.

Your incredible journey—from founding the Luxembourg Jazz Orchestra to captivating audiences worldwide—is truly inspiring. Here's hoping this year brings you more standing ovations, fewer missed notes (as if!), and plenty of laughter backstage. Keep swinging those high notes; after all, age is just another reason for an encore performance!
