Blue musical notes - ©Can Stock Photo Inc. / OrsonThere is a special treat for Jazz fans taking place on the evening before the Hessentag in Oberursel.

On Thursday, 9th June at 9pm there will be a “Jazz Meeting” at the Musikhalle Portstraße, during which the Jazz musicians who will be holding workshops throughout the main event get together to form a unique jazz band for one evening.

Taking part are Achille Succi (saxophone), Krzysztof Przybylowicz (drums), Jeanmarie Ribis (piano), Dominque Di Piazza (bass) and Michael Sagmeister (guitar).

As this part of Oberursel will be closed off during the night (green zone), it will probably be best to travel by train.  Take the U-Bahn to “Altstadt” (previously known as “Portstraße”).
