Elbjazz Festival 2023 is upon us. I can’t believe that my last visit to this great festival was as far back as 2015. The beautiful city of Hamburg is once again hosting an exciting programme on June 9th and 10th. Locations include Elbphilharmonie, two open air spots on the docks of Hamburg harbor plus the Schiffbauhalle, Hauptkirche St. Katharinen, and Mojo Club.
