The releases of the Globe Unity Orchestra «an incomparable free-music institution,» as the Penguin Guide to Jazz characterizes it are rare. The jazz public knows that they are worth waiting for. After more than fifteen years, the WhoÕs Who of the European free music scene has brought out a new CD.

Founded in 1966 by Alexander von Schlippenbach, in Aachen in January 2002, it performed with Peter Brötzmann, Manfred Schoof, Evan Parker, E.-L. Petrowsky, Hannes Bauer, Paul Rutherford, Paul Lytton, Paul Lovens and Alexander von Schlippenbach: they played a concert that drew a storms of applause from the numerous listeners. «It worked out so easily, as if we had never had taken a break of more than fifteen years. What an excellent indication of how everlasting our past achievements have become,» says Alexander von Schlippenbach in the booklet. • And the journalist Bruce Carnevale writes, «Listen to the audienceÕs glee. Listen, loudly, like we did this evening.»
